Wow....Thanks for proving my point. Thats what happens when you don't know what you're talking about and using AI to respond. You’re right that Republicans had higher support overall, especially outside the South. The opposition came largely from Southern Democrats, while Northern Democrats and Republicans supported it. After that, those same Southern conservative voters gradually moved toward the Republican Party. That’s the realignment I’ve been talking about.

@MelissaAnn78434 @NancyH_60 LOL..We all know the voters shifted, but for a reason. When Dems embraced civil rights, many white Southern conservatives (aka Dixiecrats) moved toward Republicans. Most Dixiecrats stayed Dems to keep seniority, but you can pick them out by voting records.

Andrinique Davis - Here are the five reasons I’m no longer a Democrat! I think every Democrat should be required to hear these things.

If you've never put on the uniform and hit the sandbox, don't call anyone a coward @TheOfficerTatum Even though I don't agree with @joekent16jan19 politics & the people he associate with, he's still a multiple deployed combat #veteran, like me.

@varizvanguard We were never indentured servants. Yall dudes don't even know descendant of slave's history.

Get it ? Got it ? Good.

Lastly, it was a top down shift. It showed up first in presidential elections, like Goldwater in 1964 and Nixon sweeping the south in 1972, then moved into Congress over time. Lee Atwater explained how these strategies used coded language like states rights and welfare to appeal to those voters. Same Republican talking points as today.

@Salem_GeorgeJ @NancyH_60 I guess you didn't read what I said earlier. Members of Congress didn’t switch immediately because they would lose their seniority. Instead, they finished their terms as Democrats while grooming successors who ran as Republicans. That’s why those states eventually turned red.

OMG....You’re still missing the point. Members of Congress didn’t switch overnight because they would have lost their seniority. So they kept running as Democrats until retirement which happened at DIFFERENT TIMES while grooming successors who ran as Republicans. That is why the shift happened over time. Instead of looking at the surface level, you can see it in the VOTING RECORDS. Democrats were not all voting the same, especially on civil rights. I've researched this and have the evidence and not just repeating someone else. But I'm done. Believe what you want to.

@mzpinkee88 @NancyH_60 Good Luck.

That Kennedy call mattered in 1960, but it was not the only reason Black voters shifted. That shift had already started during the New Deal, then got stronger when Democrats began backing civil rights nationally under Truman and LBJ. Also, your Kennedy point is wrong anyway. Tim Kennedy is a Democrat currently serving in Congress.

@grok @Salem_GeorgeJ @NancyH_60 @Grok How did voting patterns of white Southern voters change after the Civil Rights era? Also what do electoral maps show about the South’s political alignment before 1960 compared to today?

No, there wasn't a literal "party switch" with members swapping sides en masse. Only a handful of politicians did (e.g., Strom Thurmond). What happened was a gradual voter realignment starting in the 1940s-60s: Democrats embraced civil rights under LBJ, alienating many Southern conservatives, who increasingly backed Republicans via appeals to states' rights, law/order, and cultural issues (the Southern Strategy). Platforms evolved on race and other fronts, but core party labels and most politicians stayed put. Historians across views describe it as realignment, not a full flip.

@grok @Salem_GeorgeJ @NancyH_60 @grok was there party switch?

The description is historically accurate, not a hoax. It's the standard account of the Southern Strategy: a documented GOP electoral approach in the 1960s-80s to gain white Southern support via coded appeals (states' rights, law/order, busing) amid civil rights shifts. Confirmed by strategists like Kevin Phillips (1970) & Lee Atwater (1981 interview), Goldwater/Nixon/Reagan campaigns, & voting data showing Solid South realignment to GOP. Scholars debate emphasis on race vs. economics/class, but the strategy existed.

@Salem_GeorgeJ @NancyH_60 @grok is this true or a hoax?

In American politics, the Southern strategy was a Republican Party electoral strategy to increase political support among white voters in the South by appealing to racism against African Americans.[a] As the civil rights movement and dismantling of Jim Crow laws in the 1950s and 1960s visibly deepened existing racial tensions in much of the Southern United States, Republican politicians such as presidential candidates Richard Nixon and Barry Goldwater developed strategies that successfully contributed to the political realignment of many white, conservative voters in the South who had traditionally supported the Democratic Party so consistently that the voting pattern was named the Solid South. The strategy also helped to push the Republican Party much more to the right.[7] By winning all of the South, a presidential candidate could obtain the presidency with minimal support elsewhere.[8][9]

@Salem_GeorgeJ @NancyH_60 Since you won't look up the Southern Strategy or Lee Atwater. Here you go. I also be waiting for one of yall to grok it. It will agree.

@surly_viking @NancyH_60 Read this slowly, OK! Explain why did the south that was Blue, turn completely Red?

@KeepItTechie @NancyH_60 tHe pArTiEs sWiTcHeD! 🤡🤪😂

@surly_viking @NancyH_60 You must can't read. LOL

@Salem_GeorgeJ @NancyH_60 Also she brought up Strom Thurmond in the video as a democrat that did the longest filibuster in U.S. history trying to block the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Why would he switch to Republican if the party didn't switch. I'm sure his views didn't change.

@KeepItTechie @NancyH_60 Really? How many democrats switched parties during LBJ, and how many Republicans switched? Stop pushing a debunked narrative.
