Some leftists including the extremist hate group [[Occupy Democrats]] imply that the current [[Republican Party]] models past racist Democrats in using racially charged baiting to maintain their voter base.<ref>https://pics.me.me/understanding-trump-supporters-when-lbj-was-asked-why-poor-and-29382746.png</ref> This is false, as patriotic conservative Republicans since the party's foundation have consistently advocated for the same pro-[[civil rights]], pro-[[human rights]], pro-[[free market]], pro-[[business]], pro-[[tariff]], and [[nationalist]] principles as well as emphasizing on individual responsibility. Furthermore, these liberal charges ignore the fact that the modern-day Democratic Party treats black voters in the same respect it regarded poor Southern whites in the past.
