You didn't read my post, obviously.

Read your own post, dufus. I answered it in the order that you wrote it. You started out saying that yankees fled the northeast for the South in the 1960's and later in the post wrote some gibberish about yankee flight to the west.

It's up to YOU to keep your rantings in sequential order, not me.

I see. So the 80% vote for FDR - who was the textbook definition of a Northeastern Yankee patrician - was just a highly ironic postmodern protest vote against Yankees.

So, according to you, the South gets the blame for FDR?

Check the returns. Not only were all the states that ever voted against FDR Union states during the Civil War, the states that had the largest margins for FDR were the states of the Old Confederacy.

He carried Connecticut by a tiny 1% margin.

He carried South Carolina by a 96% margin, Louisiana by a 94% margin, Missisippi by a 90% margin, etc.
