The same can be said for the right. Not every Republican is pro big business or pro segregation. Partied are typically judged by the extremes, even if that doesn't adequately reflect the majority. I know in Kentucky a lot of Republican voters were dumbfounded when state level gop started cutting taxes on the wealthy and expanding taxes on everyone. Along with passing right to work laws.
