"this will be a revelation to a lot of people"

No it won't. Most people know that the southern democrats left the democrat party because the democrat party implemented civil rights, voting rights, etc. In fact, LBJ once said that he/the dems had lost the south for 2 generations.

This was followed by Nixon's Southern Strategy to bring the south into the GOP.

Hmmmmmmmm ..??

That doesn’t explain why the dems are so sensitive about it .. they have spent most of their life blaming the repubs. If it was already the repubs .. what would be the point ..????????

We, the repubs, know it was the dems who burnt crosses on the lawns of black people .. not repubs.

The group who left the dems .. left because of the Klan .. not because they were still a part of it; and had hoodwinked the repubs into inviting them to join the GOP.

Sorry, your message is a BIG fat lie .. Good bye!!!

You’d have to assume Joe South was and remained a racist during the southern strategy.

The reality is that the democrats via the klan were enforcing a social order based on racial division in order to remain in power. The civil rights movement was a rebellion of good southerners against this imposed order. They became republican because they left racism behind, not because the democrats had ( the dems still are bigots)

Nixon’s “Southern Strategy” is a myth, a Democratic myth perpetuated by their capon media.
