aren't pretending a thing. They are conservatives who register Democrat just like previous generations of their people did. They are the remnants of the mostly southern faction of the party.

These days they vote almost entirely Republican and righteously so - proudly and right up front. Of course, this election many of them are voting for Bernie as a sort of internal party "crossover" vote in hopes of knocking out Hillary. I know a number of people back in Georgia who reportedly have done just that.
