it really goes back to the Civil Rights Act and Lee Atwater. Prior to that it was more obvious that Republicans were a rich people's party with no care for the working class.
But when Democrats passed a law giving rights - and dognity - to people of color, many workinf class white people thought that that was so terrible that there was likely no evil thing Dempcrats wouldn't do. Seriously. Their whole lives, including their version of Christianity, stand on that one thing conviction that their ckinc color makes them superior.
Hence the lies about aborting after birth and pedophole rings in basements.
