In fact, it seems that MOST of the Dixiecrats did NOT join the Republican party, even though many of them lived long past 1964.
Only a very FEW of them switched to the GOP, such as Strom Thurmond and Mills Godwin.
And as we all know by now, the ONLY admitted former KKK member in Congress today is Robert Byrd, a former KKK Kleagle, a recruiter who persuaded people to join the KKK.
So where do we get this myth that “most” of the southern racist Democrats switched to the Republican party after 1964?
Is it a myth? Or just another Democrat LIE?
You forgot Sam Ervin, William Fullbright, Spessar Holland, and Lister Hill.
