Ridiculously ignorant. They were fucking christians in the south. It's not binary. It's relative. Still today, a moderate republican in California is an antifa Democrat in north carolina. All you had back then and down there were moderately ignorant rednecks and moderately more ignorant rednecks. Those were your only choices. There were rno democrats remotely close to anything we know of today. You're hung up on a meaningless word and not the merit. Nazis were authoritarian christians that hates ethnic groups and gays, but because they had the word "social" in there, morons think they were Democrats. That's the dumbest shit ever.
