It's long overdue for the GOP to start reminding Americans, especially young Americans the racist history of the Democrat Party. Compare the Democrat's KKK to the Democrat's new KKK AKA Antifa. The racist Democrat Party hasn't changed, they've only put on a different mask.

"It is open secret among many Negroes that the Rev. Martin Luther King, if he were to speak out on the subject, would probably indicate a preference for [Republican Richard] Nixon over [Democratic nominee John] Kennedy," The Reporter magazine noted in October 1960.

Going off of memory here so check the details...

Prior to JFK getting elected, MLK was a republican. MLK was arrested I believe in FLA (?).

MLK's family reached out to Nixon to see if he could do anything. He didn't or couldn't.

They then reached out to I believe JFK's father, asked for help. The father said he could if they could deliver the black vote to JFK.

Prior to that most blacks voted GOP because of the KKK and Dems position on blacks.

They got MLK out of jail, and the black vote was delivered to JFK.

After JFK's murder, LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act, and the Dems have hung their hats on that since.

That's when LBJ was quoted saying "I'll have those niggers voting Democrat for the next 200 years".

(Side note. FBI docs from informants stated LBJ was in the KKK)

What they fail to mention is after JFK's murder, the Dems held a SUPER MAJORITY in the house and senate meaning they did not need 1 GOP vote to pass any bill, yet the Democrats were so against The Civil Rights Act not one would bring it to the floor for a vote.

LBJ had to get the GOP to bring it to the floor and still had to fight to get enough dems on board.

LBJ's plan worked and black have been voting Democrat ever since.

So when the Dems say the parties switched, this is what they are trying to refer to. This is the counter point to that none sense.

When they say the GOP is racist, remind them of this and the fact the NRA was founded by conservatives to help protect the newly freed slaves from the likes of the Dixiecrats and the KKK.

Watch their heads explode when you tell them being anti NRA is pro KKK. Which the Democrats have always been.
