Political parties change over time. For example, in the 1950s, southern segregationists were Democrats and people associated the word “Republican” with small businessmen, Chambers of Commerce, and respectability. Today, the Republican Party nominates candidates like Michele Morrow, who’s running for North Carolina schools superintendent. Morrow embraces QAnon conspiracy theories and has called for executing Obama and other Democrats by firing squad. In the video below, she evades a reporter’s questions about her controversial social media posts. Update (11/5/24): Morrow lost the 2024 election.
