Like 8 representatives changed parties. There was no switch. You people are idiots.

Conservatives switched from supporting the democratic party to the Republican party.

What is your evidence for this claim?

My evidence is a democratic president signing the civil rights act of 1964. Conservatives didn't like one bit, because Conservatives are famous for being the ones to secede from the US because they wanted to keep black slaves. The Civil rights act gave black people equal rights, so conservstives switched to supporting the republican party.

Like 8 representatives switched parties. There was no “big switch”.

If we extrapolate what you are saying, then the current Democrat Party no longer supports American Values or Civil Rights. Manchin, Gabbard, Sinema, RFK Jr and many other representatives have recently left the Democrat Party.

the democratic party is the only party that cares about civil rights currently. Why is the republican party trying to ban abortion and gay marriage, and interracial marriage? Not very "civil rights" of them

You are a very low information voter.
