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]],<ref group=note>While several Southern Democrats broke from [[FDR]] and joined the [[Conservative Coalition]], it was a relatively small number.</ref> 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.
