Whistling Dixie
Arkansas elected an actual neo-confederate to Congress.
...there are Republicans and there is Republican Loy Mauch, elected to represent House District 26 near Hot Springs. A former head of the Sons of the Confederate Veterans post in Hot Springs, Mauch calls the Confederate flag "a symbol of Jesus Christ," and is a current member of The League of the South, a group which works toward the formation of an independent Southern nation.
Founded in 1994 in Killen, Ala., The League of the South advocates for "the secession and subsequent independence of the southern states from this forced union and the formation of a southern republic," according to the "Introduction" page on its website.
This nut went so far as to try and have a statue of Abraham Lincoln removed, and appears to be a full fledged christianist.
Your modern G.O.P.
