Again, you are wrong. Duke made absolutely no headway as a Democrat in the 80's. He tried to run for the nomination and was stomped. If that's not a repudiation of his beliefs, I don't know what is. Duke prior to that point tried to run as a Democrat and got stomped many many times. He didn't win a state level election until 1989 when he switched parties to the GOP. Duke has continued to run as a Republican ever since.
The rest of your post is the usual bullet pointed garbage that had zero to do with the fact that Strom Thurmond bolted the DNC for the GOP when it became clear a segregationist such as him had no future there.
In all seriousness, your shtick is pretty old. You start with the assumption that all evil must originate from the Democratic party and then make bullet point lists of unrelated facts to try to back that up. Every bad Republican must be a secret Democrat. Now you have Trump who is actively catering to the Alt-Right and you have him despite the fact the GOP field had a long long list of really good candidates to choose from. Your party is broken and has serious problems. It isn't getting better until you acknowledge the fact the party has problems and those bad actors need to be shown the door.
