      I’d say that’s been the case since their party ran Barry Goldwater for president in 1964 on his opposition to civil rights laws.

      We had almost made a real step forward in Reconstruction as the Democratic party actually showed the political courage to kick segregationists out of their party (which was like 25% of their voting base at the time), but then tax cut hungry oligarch assholes behind Goldwater were like “We heard you were looking for a new party! Let me dump toxic waste in your rivers and I’ll look the other way when you lynch someone, whadya say chum?” and that’s been American politics ever since.
