Prove what wrong? A vague notion based on a discrepancy of what a small number of people believe the confederate flag means to them and what you think it means to them? We don't spend time on unpersuasive deflections.

If Dems consistently appealed to segregationists through the '60s-'70s with a clearer “southern strategy” than Republicans, it's absurd to call it a “party switch.” If both did it remotely evenly, there’s no switch. Examples are endless: Democrats were far far more guilty.

If Nixon&Reagan, accused of using "dog whistles" to appeal to racists, actually loudly spoke for civil rights, this negates the conspiracy of coded signals to a shrinking racist electorate. Racists value alleged obscure subtle signals more than overt campaign themes? Nonsense.

The years of this supposed “swap” were years of virtual no-contest Republican landslides (1972, 1980, 1984), by both Nixon and Reagan. There was no desperation, or need to switch ideologies. There was no need for “retreat.”

This myth isn't just an unfounded interpretation of history; it's about controlling a narrative to make people believe the ridiculous and perform its rituals. The formation of the myth is an intriguing story, showing how a political party grapples with 130 years of evil.

Any one of these facts alone dispels the myth of parties switching ideologies. There are far more accurate ways to describe the complex changes they underwent. The notion that two rival parties traded ideologies is absurd.

The research that shaped your understanding is shockingly not "well researched" as demonstrated in the above link. Example: you believe that the Goldwater campaign focused on his opposition of civil rights. Here he talks about specifically enforcing the 64 CRA:

While Carter is remembered as a pro-civil rights progressive, his proximity to George Wallace and similarity in politics, were incomparably closer than Wallace was to Nixon. Nixon et al., are erroneously accused of attempting what the leaders of the Democratic Party did.

Throughout 1970 Carter embarked on a deliberate campaign of openly attempting to align himself with George Wallace and Lester Maddox. Carter borrowed campaign symbols like Wallace's well-known slogan, "Our kind of man," in prominent TV advertising and print.

... (1936 Gallup) The South heavily favored the concentration of power at the Federal not State level, a dramatic difference from more modern sentiments. Democrat's and Republican's political philosophy however have remained remarkably similar.

Short of nominating Wallace, a party couldn't align more. Yet, Nixon is charged with courting Wallace and supporting a busing moratorium, backed by Dem frontrunners. The Dem Southern Strategy was clear but ignored. Why?

Distortions of history:
RE: party switch myth, if you’re told to trust leftist historians, here is but one example of their standards.
They take a Goldwater quote, distort it to mean the opposite, some even insert a half line from a diff occasion. And they all thoughtlessly repeat it. Peak mediocrity

The pervasive explanation for GOP dominance in the South is the "Southern Strategy," which allegedly caused a "Party Switch" of Southern segregationists, forming today's GOP. This fiction ignores who led the Democrats in the 1970s, Jimmy Carter.

Like the Dem Party, Carter's rise is owed to exploiting the prejudice of voters until it was politically advantageous to stop doing so. Carter possibly did get the very last ounce of political juice from the rotting fruit of racial injustice in Georgia.

Wallace was the face of segregation, and Maddox the notorious violent segregationist who famously wielded an axe handle and pistol to prevent black customers from entering his restaurant. Maddox became an icon of resisting integration and a leading Democrat.

In 1966 Nixon started his war to dismantle the Democrat's one-party controlled segregated South. Contrary to conventional wisdom regarding the future president from Georgia, this war included fighting against Jimmy Carter.
