My favorite historical tidbit: Strom Thurmond did, indeed switch from democrat to republican.

  • AFTER he had a religious conversation, a change of heart.

As a republican, he hired blacks in senior positions of leadership in his campaign and office because he outright rejected his racist heritage. He became republican BECAUSE he stopped being racist!
