Explain the Democrat party switch myth like I'm 5

Why do democrats always say after all of the oppressive shite they did you black people for a hundred years, the parties miraculously switched people? And what actually happened?
I have an idea about why, but I'd love to hear others interpretations

After reconstruction, businesses invested in the south and moved people south.
That’s it. No switch of party philosophy

Sure, as someone who was on Team Filth I can easily explain it.
It is a LIE, and everyone who says it knows it.

Just like you can’t switch your green beans for cookies, the Democrats and Republicans never switched.

Democrats and Nazis switched Parties on Nov 8, 2016.

I'm assuming you are talking about the shift taking place now before our eyes.
I think a combination of two transformational figures - Obama, then Trump.
Trump in particular has redefined both parties. He's not a traditional republican - he has wider appeal and has gained support from blue collar workers all over the country. This is a major change from republicans of the past, who struggled in places like Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, etc. Trump is less principled and more pragmatic than other popular republicans like Ted Cruz or Rand Paul. He pays lip service to the evangelical right, but the bulk of his support comes from politically moderate blue collar workers.
Democrats have been squeezed between a more moderate, pragmatic republican party and a radical left wing group within their own ranks. The party also happens to have very poor leadership at the moment now that Obama has retired. The result is that the loud, radical marxist faction of the party has taken over much of it. Moderate members of the Democratic party are reluctant to call out these radicals for the same reason a lot of you shut down your facebook/twitter/instagram accounts this summer - they are afraid of losing their livelihood and being branded as racist.
Exacerbating the above trend is the fact that the bulk of America's media and higher ed institutions (especially non-STEM) are hard left. Their staunch and obvious anti-Trump bias has also influenced the Democratic party to adopt a more radical position as they must take an opposing stance to the largely pragmatic Donald Trump.

The "switch" narrative was used when Trump was still a Democrat and his money, endorsement, and attendance at events were all highly sought by the same Democrats who call him a racist today.

It’s their dearest myth-they seek to absolve themselves of their party’s guilt and project it onto Republicans and they have been successful because Professional Leftists in academia and media have championed the myth. They totally ignore white migration south- for instance My NY and PA family all moved south after desegregation. Not to mention changing values over time. They actually have blacks thinking Abraham Lincoln was a Democrat and Bull Connor was a Republican.

Goldwater ran on a states rights platform contrary to Republican orthodoxy in the 1964 presidential election.
Nixon ran on a states rights and "law and order" platform in 1968, contrary to his own political history as a moderate and the Rockefeller Republican party majority.
Both these campaigns won voters in previous Democratic strongholds (Wallace won the Deep South as an Indy in 1968).
At the same time, the New Deal Democrats ousted the last of the agrarian populists and embraced top down change of their own with the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
The voting patterns of voters didn't really change until increased urbanization across the South but the electoral campaign strategy certainly did.
