D) the Democrats have ALWAYS in your lifetime been a right of center party or just a plain right wing white supremacist party if you're old enough. Good old Earl Warren helped out a lot. He WAS A REPUBLICAN. Jimmy Carter beat Gerald Ford--by running to Ford's RIGHT. Arguably the most racist president in our glorious history of racist Presidents? Woodrow Wilson, Democrat. Harry Truman, Democrat, wasn't far behind. Get this notion that the Democrats were ever liberal out of your head. It's a lie.
