Um, no. Did you not see where FDR never lost a southern state? They like their socialism as much as any other region.
Just because liberal northerners have moved into southern states and changed the voting patterns is no reason to denigrate what the south has done in keeping conservatism alive.
Actually the south has been more conservative relative to the rest of the country only lately. I'm not saying the northerners moving down there is doing it. I would say it's more the raging leftism of the major cities is causing to south to look more conservative due to their cities being smaller.
The Midwest has always been more liberal in its history (that book “What Happened to Kansas?” - I think that’s the title) explains it all very well.
Not during FDR's time. We voted against him at first. The south was his stronghold, then the war cemented his wins after that.
I must say we Union types are the biggest sore winners on the planet.
Sore winner? What is that? It looks to me that we have to straighten out the falsehoods of the sore losers. lol
How old are you? The south stuck with the party not because they liked socialism but because it had been their party for generations and they were loyal - just as today’s Conservatives have been loyal to the R party even though nothing has been done for them since Reagan.
I repeat: the Midwest has, in general, been much more liberal than the south - just check out the career of William Jennings Bryan. You don’t catch complete lunatics like Jesse Ventura or Al Franken being voted in down south.
