1972 - Nixon wins every Southern state plus Texas.
1976 - Georgia governor Jimmy Carter wins the South back against Gerald Ford, a very weak candidate, and against the political chaos of Watergate, three years of high inflation, a 400% oil price increase, severe gasoline shortages, and the collapse of Vietnam.
1980 and 1984 - Reagan wins every Southern state plus Texas in two elections, except Georgia, Carter's home state, which Reagan lost once, in 1980.
1988 - Bush wins every Southern state plus Texas.
1992 - Bush wins Texas plus more Southern states than the all-Southern boy Clinton-Gore ticket.

You may not know how things operated in the South, but DEMOCRATS sure as hell ran Texas and EVERY OTHER Southern state FOR DECADES. While Republicans could usually win at the presidential level - this area was SINGLE PARTY DEMOCRAT RULE until only 20 years ago.
Whites in the South DID NOT vote 70-90 Republican, EVER, until LAST YEAR - at least not at any level below president. The idea that voting patterns will remain STAGNANT is TOTALLY DISPROVEN down here. You can count the elected white Democrats at the State House level and above on ONE HAND now. 20 years ago THEY RAN EVERYTHING.
You still HAVE NOT answered my question - WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
You seem to only say that we (collectively) screwed up and that you (and just about everyone else on this site) tried to stop the idiots running the Republican Party, but they wouldn’t listen.
So, WHAT DO WE DO NOW? If it’s simply give up, that’s not acceptable, not on this site. It’s usually considered trolling when someone tries to demoralize others on this site, although your earlier posts almost make me think you’re serious about throwing in the towel.
