Did the parties switch?

The parties never switched, Democrats just stop being so openly racist, now they're more sneaky about it.

It's always been racist. It will always be racist. You can't change the history of that flag any more than you can change the history of the Nazi flag. They both represent bigotry and hatred.
The 20th Century: Resurgence as a Symbol of Resistance to Civil Rights
The flag's modern, highly controversial meaning became solidified in the mid-20th century as a direct reaction against the Civil Rights Movement.
The Dixiecrat Revolt: In 1948, a group of Southern Democrats, dubbed the "Dixiecrats," broke from the main party to protest President Truman's push for civil rights. They adopted the Confederate battle flag as their symbol of defiance against federal intervention and racial integration.
Defiance of Desegregation: Following the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court decision ordering school desegregation, the flag's use exploded across the South.
Segregationist politicians and groups began flying it as a symbol of massive resistance.
Georgia incorporated the battle flag into its state flag in 1956, widely seen as a protest against integration.
Alabama Governor George Wallace raised the flag over the state capitol in 1963 in defiance of the federal government's integration efforts.
Adoption by Hate Groups: While the Ku Klux Klan was formed by ex-Confederate soldiers, the organization didn't officially adopt the battle flag as a prominent symbol until the mid-20th century. As the Klan's second and third incarnations grew, especially during the Civil Rights era, the flag became increasingly synonymous in the public mind with the Klan's campaigns of racial violence and intimidation.

Right, you get to arbitrarily decide this, doesn't matter that the south changed it to represent southern pride, no, you get to decide for them, and if it's something you like then yes, it is eligible for change, if it's something you don't like then you get then you get to decide that for everyone else. You leftists are so ****ing arrogant.

And we've reached the point where you don't know how to counter so you just give up then call yourself the winner. Nicely done.

You literally avoided responding to anything in the previous post. It was an account of the history of the confederate flag which refuted everything you have been lying about, and you didn't address any of it. Instead you just wrote some long post where you cried the whole time. So if failing to counter any points raised is a sign of an argument's weakness, then you lost even by your own standards. And what an epic defeat it has been.

You literally showed that you and other leftists are the ones who get to decide what is and isn't racist and whose history we get to ignore and whose changes we have to ignore. You personally get to tell the people in the south who've been flying that flag for decades in the name of southern Pride that they're wrong and racist because you say so.

I showed you the history of it. It refutes all of your lies about it being "southern pride" and not a racist symbol. You haven't even attempted to counter it and you have had multiple chances to. You lose.
