In this article, to make things clearer, please include the fact that the southern Democrats before, during and after the Civil War were conservatives. Founders of the KKK were conservatives. Those Democrats against Civil Rights were conservatives. The Dixiecrats were conservatives. Those who wrote and enacted Jim Crow laws were conservatives. Southern Strategists were conservatives. Today’s republicans, white nationalists, KKK, neo-nazis, etc. are conservatives. Too many idiots like Ted Cruz overlook that fact and only see the Democrat label.
