Anyone who doesn't realize the Dems of the 50's and 60's who kept the South Blue are the same as the Republicans who now paint it red needs to brush up on their history. JFK Democrat Bobby Kennedy AG Democrat Lyndon Johnson Democrat and the Nixon "Southern Strategy" is not difficult to comprehend......convince the disaffected southern racists that the Democratic Party no longer represented their beliefs.
Kevin Phillips, a Nixon political strategist shared the following in a 1970 interview....
From now on, the Republicans are never going to get more than 10 to 20 percent of the Negro vote and they don't need any more than that...but Republicans would be shortsighted if they weakened enforcement of the
Voting Rights Act. The more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans. That's where the votes are. Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.
