The myth of the parties "switching" is very inconsistent with actual U.S. history.  The Republican Party only became much more right-wing during the 1910s, after [[Theodore Roosevelt]] and his Republican progressives at the time split with the Taft-supporting [[conservatives]].  The Democrat Party arguably (according to some) became much more left-wing during the 1930s during the [[New Deal coalition]] era. [[Progressives]] who brainwash youth in the modern-day education system erase in history textbooks examples of certain racist liberals such as [[Hugo Black]]. They furthermore ignore the fact that many racist Democrats in the 30s were [[leftists]] who fervently supported the [[New Deal]], including [[Theodore Bilbo]]. It should also be noted [[liberal]] Democrat [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]]'s support came strongest from the [[Deep South]] in his election/re-election victories.

With respect to the 1960s and the era when the parties are rumored to have "switched sides" ''en masse'', a review of the senators and governors at the time tells a completely different story.<ref>[https://www.nationalreview.com/2014/08/myth-republican-racism-mona-charen/ The Myth of Republican Racism]</ref>  Since the end of [[Reconstruction]] in 1874 and 1967, Arkansas had no Republican governors; in the 53 years after 1967, Republicans have only occupied the governorship for 17 years. In fact, since the founding of the GOP until 2020, Republicans have only occupied the governors office in Arkansas for 21 out of 152 years.  During the 93 years of an unbroken string of Democrat governors from 1874 until 1967, Democrat terrorists committed at least 237 known [[lynching]]s.<ref>http://historymatters.gmu.edu/d/5467/</ref>
