First, a correction to your "history": Jefferson founded the "Democratic-Republican Party", also known at the time as the "Republican Party", in 1790. The offshoot which became the modern "Democratic Party" wasn't formed until 1828, two years after Jefferson's death.
The Democratic Party of today is not the Democratic Party of its founding, or of the "Dixiecrat" era, any more than the Republican Party that used to believe in fiscal responsibility and abolition bears any resemblance to today's GOP of wild spending and the embrace of the Confederacy and its emblems.
In that support for the "Lost Cause", the parties have effectively traded places.
