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.
Oh no, the south loves FDR, always has, always will. They sing his praises in songs like "Song of the South" by Alabama to this day.

Minnesota is damn near Canada. Hell, I live closer to Mississippi than Minnesota. And the south has always elected it's socialists like Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Do you people not know basic history?
