Because the South is now a bunch of racist Trump supporters. Their values align with the right.

         A higher Percentage of Republicans in the Senate Voted to pass the 1964 Civil Rights Act than Democrats... Why would those disgruntled southern Democrats join the Party that ended slavery, and Voted to pass Civil Rights legislation?... Your argument would only hold water if it was the other way around, and the majority of Republicans in the Senate voted against it, and the Majority of Democrats supported it. ... 

         Strom didn't switch to Republican because he believed they better represented his Pro-Segregationist and anti Civil Rights positions, as the Vote results contradict as much... He left the Party out of anger & spite, and because it was politically expedient for him to do so... Did Senator Robert Byrd switch his affiliation from Democrat to Republican?  As we know, BYrd spent 9 years in the KKK, was a recruiter, formed a new WV Chapter, gave orders, and rose to the rank of Exalted Cyclops...

           True..... The Democrats initially tried to Filibuster the 19th Amendment.... Eventually they abandoned the effort, the majority of Republicans got it passed...  Here was the final Vote count...
  • 20 Democrats Yea
  • 17 Democrats Nay
  •  9 Democrats Not voting/abstained
  • 36 Republicans Yea
  •  8 Republicans Nay
  •  5 Republicans Not voting/abstained

Governor Kristi Noem says the state will not do business with entities that are involved in a campaign boycotting the state of Israel.

Noem’s executive order requires contractors and bidders to certify they are not participating that campaign when contracting with the state.

Noem wields a blue pen as she signs an executive order that condemns anti-Semitism and stands against the Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions campaign—or BDS. The state becomes the 28th to pass a law or executive orderNoem focuses on the spiritual and national security relationship between the United States and Israel.

She says the executive order will ensure that bids or state contracts are NOT awarded to those aligned with BDS activities.In the capitol rotunda following the signing of the executive order, Noem says the state will not tolerate, do business with, or have contracts with that participate in those boycott activities.

Spent years in the South. Republicans were still called Yankees. The idea a southern black hating democrat would become a Yankee is ridiculous on its face. Racist democrats from the 60s and 70s became politically homeless, they didn't become Republicans.

You forget it was a Democratic President who brought his own party to heel. 

Besides southern Republicans voted against tge Civil Rights Act.

Black folk used to vote Republican when the racists were in the Democratic Party. Now we vote against the racists in the Republican Party.

That is such a tiresome unoriginal thought...
You can use that for which brand of bread you buy or the music you listen to.
It fits everything, ergo says nothing.
Please seat yourself.

it depends on the region, though. In the state of georgia it really didnt change until around the late 1990s/ early 2000s. prominent democratic politicians like herman talmage continued to give token resistance to the civil rights movement
