The "big" switch wasn't instant but there was a switching of platforms. Between the 1860's which spilled into the late 1900's, the Democratic party of small government became the party of big government, and the Republican party of big government became committed to limiting federal power. The Southern Democrats were racist garbage and the Republican party was more liberal but both had racist. Racist Democrat Lyndon Johnson signed the civil rights bill with a bit more Republican support than democratic. This is when you see the South start to pull away from the Democratic party, despite the many Republicans agreeing with the bill. Later, racist Republican, Richard Nixon played on the hate and racism of those southern states to become president. This how the parties changed as well as the south's affiliation. The south is now and has been Republican since the signing of the civil rights bill and it was and still is most certainly racist.
Trump supporters like to claim that they aren't racist because Republicans from the 1800's freed slaves, despite supporting a president who uses racial stereotypes and dog whistles so in response they pretend the big switch never happened and that democrats are the real racist.

When two performers of the Broadway show 'Wicked' actually performing Elphaba and G(a)linda exchange roles. Thus, the actor performing Elphaba becomes Glinda and vice versa. This situation may occur for any given purpose such as singing parts at any event or live performance or fun photos.
Libby Servais and Felicia Ricci did a Witch Switch the other day for fun. Lucy Durack and Jemma Rix did the same thing for a live performance and Megan Hilty and Shoshana Bean same thing.

A term used by the listener when a person is bitching about one issue only to start bitching about an unrelated issue in the same conversation.
What I thought was going to be a quick vent about her boss, she pulled one bitch switch after another for over two hours.
