They made fun of Michael Jackson's plastic surgery too, but this was more extreme.

Noem and Trump have to realize one very important thing.

Matt and Trey don't give a shit and no one is off limits.

It very much is a myth. The Dixiecrats didn't become Republicans. They remained Democrats and mentored the next generation of Democrats. Al Gore Sr was a flaming racist and his son almost became president. Some like Robert Byrd acted like they were distancing themselves from Democrat hate groups like the KKK, but Byrd's voting record still shows he clung to his racist ways by systematically voting against black appointments, especially non Democrat ones.

Also, you don't found a new chapter of an organization you don't believe in and Democrats still preach white supremacy. They merely call it "white privilege" now.

Same party. the "party switch" is a myth. The Democratic party of today is the same Democratic party of slavery, Jim Crow, and jerrymandering.

It was also full of Democrat shenanigans that they knew the Republicans would not vote for, so they tossed in jerrymandering, knowing the bill would never pass to make it look like they were for it.

Without jerrymandering, the Democrats would lose many seats because they'd no longer be able to take large swaths of rural and suburban areas, then make a wonky looking maps to link them to cities to ensure the suburban and rural voters get outvoted by the urban voters. They'd also no longer be able to carve out mostly black districts that they have no chance of ever losing.

Without their jerrymandering, they wouldn't have single party control of Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

The Republicans walked away to prevent the Democrats from saddling their constituents with new taxes. I remember the Democrats losing their shit over it, calling them traitors, wanting them to be imprisoned and lose their seats.

Now that the shoe is on the other foot, the Democrats want to be upset about it.

No, they simply call for "bail/prison reform" to let them back out on the streets, then try to wrap it in flowery language to mask the truth of what they are doing.

They both do it. Democrats are just the ones who invented it, then like everything they do, they cry victim when the Republicans also do it and try to act like they're filled with righteous indignation knowing that they also jerrymander.
