Yes; he is incorrect.
Are history courses even taught in American schools!?!
The Democratic party started as the conservative party (the guys that liked slavery) while the Republicans were the liberal party and they ended up switching stances between the end of the 19th and the early 20th centuries.
While your keen observation of labels is correct, the contents of those packages are not what you seem to believe they were.
If you are agreeing with D'Souza on his (intentionally misleading) statement, you are in fact supporting the destruction of the conservative party - the Republicans.
You are being intentionally mislead by D'Souza; this is his MO.

Dude you actually believe that shit?
REALLY?
ONE, I say again ONE republican switched sides. His name was Strom Thurmond. The rest continued to do the things that FREED THE FUCKING SLAVES. Like the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments. All amendments that republicans overwhelmingly voted for and that democrats overwhelmingly voted against.
