[Quoting myself from another source:]
"Much political palaver has included references to the history of the Democratic Party in the southern states of the United States of America. Democrats such as Mr. George Wallace of axe handle fame are invoked. Yet, if we look at the current political map, the southern states are predominantly, if not exclusively, in the Republican camp.
"Little appears on political forums on how this has come about. The parts played by, to name two, Senator James Strom Thurmond and President Ronald Reagan, are not mentioned. The history of this party turn-around is very interesting. It says much about the mind of the south*. It can also be related to the current political tactics of the Republican Party as evinced by, for example, votes by Republican federal legislators.
"* The book, The Mind Of The South, by Mr. W.J. Cash, though originally published in 1941, is a good starting point for anyone interested in the political inversion."
Regards, stay safe 'n well.
