Indeed, I think many of today's Republican conservatives are dirtbags,

In the 60s, racists were democrats and they made the current crop of
republicans look like mother Teresa

In the 1960s, the Dems threw the racists out of their political
conventions and the Repubs welcomed them with open arms. You know, the
Southern strategy.

From Wiki:

In American politics, the Southern strategy refers to a Republican Party
strategy of gaining political support for certain candidates in the
Southern United States by appealing to racism against African Americans.

Though the "Solid South" had been a longtime Democratic Party stronghold
due to the Democratic Party's defense of slavery before the American
Civil War and segregation for a century thereafter, many white Southern
Democrats stopped supporting the party following the civil rights plank
of the Democratic campaign in 1948 (triggering the Dixiecrats), the
African-American Civil Rights Movement, the passage of the Civil Rights
Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965, and desegregation.

The strategy was first adopted under future Republican President Richard
Nixon and Republican Senator Barry Goldwater[6][7] in the late 1960s.[8]
The strategy was successful in winning 5 formerly Confederate states in
both the 1964 and 1968 presidential elections. It contributed to the
electoral realignment of some Southern states to the Republican Party,
but at the expense of losing more than 90 percent of black voters to the
Democratic Party. As the twentieth century came to a close, the
Republican Party began attempting to appeal to black voters again,
though with little success.

The racists moved to the GOP, where they now reside. Your kinda boys.
