They convinced the southerners that the democrats would take their guns, destroy the military, shut down the church and turn their kids gay.

It was not the Republicans that caused the switch as both parties had basically the same traditional values. It was the movement of ultra liberals (anything goes) into the Democrat party which do not have the same traditional values as the old Democrat liberals and the Republcans had...so as the ultra liberals took greater and greater control of the Democrat party the Democrats (who were always known as the more Liberal party) began to switch over to the Republican party. The Democrats of old were equally the party of "god and guns".
