Lol. It's not just Democrats, assorted commies, and leftists who mention the GOP Southern Strategy.
There are also just people who write and read history books.
So yeah, the KKK was a southern phenomenon with deep roots in the Democratic party back in the day. Then came Johnson's support for the Civil Rights Acts. Nixon got the ball rolling and Reagan later brought it home. The southern racists, after their flirtation with Wallace in '68, started drifting toward the GOP. By 1980, it was a done deal.
You could look it up.
