What in the world has happened to New England and the entire northeast for that matter? Once the home of solid Conservatism including Calvin Coolidge and Charles Sumner, it's become a socialist cesspool. In contrast, one dominated by leftist DemonRATS, the South has now become the region for Christian (and Jewish) Conservatism. These two maps show the dramatic shift over just a couple of generations:

My theory is that during the Great Depression (instigated and worsened by FDR and his socialist mob), the leftist DemonRATS of the South moved north in search of jobs. They brought their liberals ideas to New England and turned it from the GOP to the 'RAT side forever. The Southerners who remained in Dixie were those of solid Christian and Jewish values, naturally Conservative and pro-America. And, IMHO, that's why the South transformed from DemonRAT to Republican. The so-called "Southern Strategy" has been discredited as a leftist fabrication, thus I attribute the change to regional migration of Southern liberals to the north.

You may be on to something. Certainly plenty of southern blacks moved north, but there were whites migrating too. Here in Chicago, for decades there was a pocket of southern transplants in the Andersonville neighborhood, and you can still go to their local bar, where the Confederate flag is hanging on the wall, and Hank Williams Sr is on the jukebox.

If you look at the Coolidge election Map.

Missouri and Michigan used to be more important than California.
