Before the Democrat Party was completely taken over by Ideologues, there was a more conservative, pragmatic and uniquely Southern phenomenon known as the Yellow Dog Democrat. I used to work with some when I was first employed in a Furniture Plant. All but extinct nowadays, here is a rather long but, entertaining talk by one on YouTube: "How to be Happily Unreconstructed in a World Gone Crazy by Ben "Cooter" Jones." I find it a delightful respite from the modern political landscape.
