Liberals aren't Democrats?

[Hortensis]

19. The DP has always included groups of nonliberals. Such as non-Christian religious groups

who can't fight religious oppression on their own and band with those who truly believe in freedom of religion.

Populations around the planet are made up of a full spectrum of liberal and conservative personalities, but non-Christian and non-white American conservatives are rejected and treated poorly (at best) by today's GOP as a whole, who'd get rid of all of them if they could. So they vote Democrat.

Of course, of those minority groups, our Hispanics are becoming larger and stronger every year. We'll lose their conservatives eventually. It's only a matter of time before Hispanic cons get tired of both supporting Democrat policies they don't agree with and being pushed out of their natural party affiliation by some nasty white supremacists they match and eventually surpass in number. When that happens, minority conservatives of all types, at least the Christians, will likely follow, and both parties will have to undergo major new alignments.

As for "always," remember your history? Such as the rabidly racist Southern Democrats who mostly fled the party with President Truman's civil rights legislation and finally for good with President Johnson's civil rights legislation? Names like Jesse Helms, Lester Maddox, George Wallace, many others? Their type finally hated us even more than they hated northeastern Republicans and moved over to form most of the virulent base of the GOP.

Today's Blue Dog Democrats are a kinder, gentler legacy from that group, although not all are from the south, just most.
