This tracks with my experience living in the deep south. Most white people in the deep south see the Democratic party as the black party and the GOP as the white party.

It really is that simple to them.

    They’re not far from wrong. Black people in the south vote Democrat about 80% of the time. White people in the south vote Republican about 80% of the time. The political system in the South, with its gerrymandered districts, biased media, and "good ol' boy" system is basically a giant black voter suppression machine.
