The 5 Dixiecrat States all voted Democrat again in 52. While Ike did make some inroads in the South due to a growing a middle class in some States.
Just like many of our Schools, history.com is pushing leftwing political propaganda.

Do you know how i know you are stupid?
Amy Coney Barrett would never have been seated by the SC if what you say is accurate and true since Trump picked her because he vowed he would pick a woman.

First of all, I can't think of an easier way to say that there is probably more than one qualified candidate, but perhaps only one best candidate.
These concepts are not in conflict, even minutely.
There's nothing to explain here--I'm just using English words in a totally logical and cogent sequence.
You don't seem to be grasping concepts that seem very straightforward too me.
Perhaps you are understanding and I'm the one misunderstanding your comments.
Second, these are not group decisions.
These are not societal decisions.
These are decisions left to one individual to make.
In evaluating qualities and qualification, the sole individual charged with making the decision
is going to prioritize the importance of each quality and qualification according to his/her/its personal values.
I would definitely have diversity on that list of important considerations,
and it would be well down the list below many things that I would consider even more important.
Those are my personal values.
Somebody else may have different priorities than I,
and in Newsom's case,
I was merely pointing out that I disagreed with his priorities.
Somebody else might on the other hand agree with his priorities.
Mainly, though, the concept that there may be several qualified candidates who could successfully fill the position,
and yet among them,
one checks the most important boxes in the opinion of the person making the decision
shouldn't be a difficult one to grasp.

In fact, racism was the reason the south went red. https://economics.princeton.edu/wor...the-south-bringing-new-data-to-an-old-debate/ They southern racists were the reason we have an acceptance of a bad wealth distribution.

Harris - make America a 3rd world shithole
From the interview, Lee Atwater said ...
"But the Reagans did not have to do a Southern strategy for two reasons.
Number one, race was not a dominant issue.
And number two, the mainstream issues in this campaign had been “Southern issues” since way back in the 60s. So Reagan goes out and campaigns on the economics and on national defense, the whole campaign was devoid of any kind of racism, any kind of reference."

And of course, Lee Atwater was a 17 year old HS student in 68.
Furthermore, you have absolutely no evidence that Repubs ever ran on "N,N,N" as Atwater implied. And no evidence that Nixon campaigned on a Southern Strategy.

You have one guys ABSTRACT ramblings against a mountain of contradictory evidence.
Nxion, Rev. MLK and Ike got the 1957 CRA passed. And IKE signed the 1960 CRA, too[/B]. Would you like to know the voting record on that bill?
the Senate approved H.R. 8601 on April 8, 1960 by a vote of 71–18. 42 Democrats and 29 Republicans voted Aye. 18 Democrats voted Nay.[20] No Republican Senators voted against the bill.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil...vil Rights Act of,attempt to register to vote.
Abolitionists were Christians and the first abolitionists were Quakers. Nixon was a Quaker and he ....
"During his years as vice president under Dwight Eisenhower, he sought to ensure minorities — especially African Americans — weren’t discriminated against in federal contracts. He also worked with Congress to spearhead the Civil Rights Act of 1957, sweeping legislation and a precursor to the landmark Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Voting Rights Act of 1965."
And ...
"The plan proved pivotal to the end of school segregation. In fall 1969, 600,000 blacks attended desegregated schools in the South; one year later 3 million had been integrated. By percentage in 1968, nearly 70 percent of black children were segregated from their white peers; by the end of Nixon’s first term it was just 8 percent."
https://www.nixonfoundation.org/2017/08/nixons-record-civil-rights-2/
So, you're trying to tell me that Nixon forced the integration of Southern Schools as part of a "southern strategy" to win KKK votes.
No wonder Democrats hate Nixon and Christians.
Nixon was a historic civil rights leader.

Of course there is something to explain here. So please do.
You and i are voters. OR we are tasked with choosing the next CEO on a selection committee.
In front of us are five candidates.
I happen to think factors - A, C, G, I and L of the items on the criteria list we have are the most important.
You happen to think factors - A, G, J, K, M of the items on the criteria list are the most important.
We have 5 candidates who tick almost all the other boxes that you and i agree upon but our disputs comes down to the criteria above.
We are two different people who just have slightly differing priorities and we must vote and majority will decide who the next 'hire' or 'govt elected official is'.
What makes your choice 'best' over mine or the people who agree with me... or what makes my choice 'best' over yours?
I need to take some time and explain, why one is BEST as opposed to a choice between equally qualified?
I do not think you are saying 'if i think they are best, then that is what decides it' like so many here would say so why do you believe there is a singular best? For instance one Candidate is super strong in domestic issues and only really strong in international whereas the other is the opposite. Super strong in international and only really strong in domestic. Which is BEST to hire, if you have different people who do not agree over which is the more important for the role, International or Domestic?

BEST is obviously subjective.
The elected governor was given the authority to use his subjective judgement.
We both value diversity, but we place it in very different places on the priority list.
With one person making a unilateral decision, that person's priorities--entirely by itself-- is what determines who's "best."
That's the subjective best as perceived by the person charged with making the decision.
We're not going to come across a mutually accepted definition of best--that's not how subjectivity--even in the process of trying to be objective--works.
If that person is in tune with his/her/its constituents, his/her/its choice will be well received.
Otherwise, it will be widely questioned in the manner that I question Newsom, a fellow Democrat.
In the end, anytime a choice is charged to one person, the only best that comes into play is the opined best of the decider.
Consensus is not required. If a person makes choices largely in conflict with the opinion of most constituents, he/she/it will not be re-elected.
That's also the problem with term limits. If a person performs in a manner pleasing to the constituents, he/she/it is still going to be term limited.
We term limit executives like mayors, governors, and presidents, but we thankfully don't term limit legislators yet.
