For those who don't know, In the US, the two political parties basically switched sides at one point. I only skimmed, but here's an article about it:

But I'd rather look at what modern people are doing and saying, than muse about what older generations would have wanted or done.
It's a short source and I'd like to see it also explain some of the racial dynamics going on at the time, but otherwise ok.
