“Old Southern Dems”?

. . . yes indeed, they were racist. Only nowadays we call them “Republicans”.

Funny, I didn’t see where **Der Trihd** mentioned party identification. Are you saying that they weren’t conservative? Or that they weren’t Scotsmen?

I think he’ mocking the Democratic party because the [Southern Strategy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_Strategy) convinced most of the racist elements of the party to switch affiliation to Republican. “Hahaha, where’s your racist members now, bitch!”

Funny, I’d think deliberately racist policy wouldn’t be something to be proud of, but then again the same bloc is continuing its disenfranchisement efforts.
