And that's exactly the kind of engineering employed to turn reality inside out.
Historically, democrats established themselves as racially supremacist cunts. Then, seeing the tides turn, they offer their former slaves a boon of largesse in the form of free healthcare, welfare, and affirmative action. In the face of socialist excess, the Republicans scream that there's no such thing as a free lunch regardless of race, thus allowing the transference of public opinion to take place and making the term "Dixiecrat" into a thing.

Fast forward to today, the Democrats have spent decades using the Confederate Flag as a point of common interest between them and Southern culture. Suddenly people are killed under its banner, turning it into a reviled symbol of racism that should be burned, and despite its recent Democratic history, Hillary and friends roll with the punches in speeches that affirm the idea of expelling it from the culture. Republicans, like Cruz, call that destructive demagoguery, thus allowing the transference of public opinion to take place once again even though Republicans have no relation to that flag.
