I want you to think about something.
If it wasn't for us 'losers' being solid red state conservatives you yankees would be a bunch of commies.
Of course, maybe that's what you want.
Amen Bro.! You’re right as rain.
Interestingly, the Southern states only became reliably red states starting in 1980 - at precisely the same time as enormous numbers of white Northerners began heading South.
FDR had his ass handed to him in New England - he won the presidency again and again because he got up to 80% of the votes in the Old Confederacy. The New Deal was made possible by the Southern voter - the sons and grandsons of the Confederates.
The turning of the US to a more socialist way of living happened at the Southern ballot box in 1932.
It was solidified by the liberalization of the North - an shift that happened over decades as the original Yankees moved West with the expansion of the frontier and were outnumbered in the Northeast by new, post-Civil War immigrants.
