“ This guy is 180° out. The south became MORE republican because it became LESS racist.”

Yep.

True, but it started in ‘92 when GOP lost the White House but gained 9 seats in the House. This happened while Bubba swept the south except for Viginia.

Maybe the Southerners recognized him for what he was.

“Reagan and Bush carried numerous southern states in 1980, 1984, and 1988. Clinton won some back in 1992 and 1996.”

To this day, if Georgia is called for the Democrat early, it’s over on Election Night. Thankfully, that wasn’t the case this year.

And in the 1984 election, the Democrats didn’t even try to win, they ended up with Mondale who only won one state, Minnesota of which he was something like Governor, not sure about that, anyway he barely won that state. You might call that a turning point of some sort.

Indeed, Pres. Trump was right when he stated that we owe Carter a “debt of gratitude”.

Never mind that Democrats were the party of slavery, the Confederacy, segregation, Trail of Tears, Jim Crow, the KKK and lynch mobs.

So you can't think of anything negative to say about the democrats?

Obama did manage Florida and North Carolina in 2008.

The same tired old Republicans-are-racists meme. Whereas Democrats run the inner city plantations, and wealthy Democrats love that cheap, brown-skinned illegal labor.

Chevy Chase on SNL pegged him back in the day on Weekend Update:

Jimmy Carter said today that he doesn’t jusge a man by the color of his skin but by the size of his nostrils...
