Heh-heh

I can remember when the Solid South was all Democrat

For the times, they are a-changin’

The south has always been culturally conservative and the white population fairly homogenous

Which is why in 1964 Goldwater carried FIVE Deep South states and Arizona only

Southern democrats like Stennis and Eastland were far more culturally rightist than all but a few GOP

It wasn’t like it is today

Of course after throwing off the yoke of reconstruction in 77/78 they never looked back in a big way till Tower and Lott and others which really got things turned around after Carter first term with Magnus

I think Magnus carried all the South but Georgia

Btw as we are learning the hard way right now

The GOP still suck overall

They only look good compared to modern Dems and even then barely

If Trump loses we need another party

Today’s GOP are by and large Humphrey Dems
