I don’t expect any democrats to change their tune on this topic despite being presented with facts do you?

Thanks for posting this.

The basic “Southern Strategy” myth, popularized by Kevin Phillips in the early 1970s, goes like this: under LBJ’s leadership, DEMOCRATS nobly and self-sacrificingly supported civil rights, giving an opening to opportunistic Republicans to crack the DEMOCRAT Solid South. Supposedly, following the support given by voters in some Deep South states to Goldwater in 1964, Nixon (a supporter of civil rights) developed a “Southern Strategy” to use "coded appeals" to southern whites, enabling him to win the 1968 election; and everything the GOP has accomplished since 1968 is "tainted" by a continuous reliance on that same alleged strategy to keep white southerners in the fold.

Like most myths, the Southern Strategy myth has some kernels of truth to it.

It’s true that LBJ changed his tune on civil rights in the Oval Office, and did so knowing that this would have costs to the party.

It’s true that Nixon, like Republicans as far back as TR, had the dream of adding Southern support to his coalition, and dedicated a campaign strategy to doing so.

It’s true that the South has, broadly speaking, been far more Republican since the late 60s than it was before.

The reality is quite different from the myth.

The truth, as a cursory examination of history convincingly demonstrates, is the opposite. The growth of GOP support among Southerners was steady and mostly gradual from 1928 to 2010, and was a natural outgrowth of the fact that Southerners were ideologically much more compatible with the Republican agenda than with the DEMOCRAT agenda.

It would be out of character for them to consider the facts and admit their error, in my opinion.

I suspect you are correct. Well, I can’t control that. All I can do is present the facts.

True. Let's face it - if DEMOCRATS weren't determined to avoid facts, they wouldn't be DEMOCRATS, would they?

This is another great read. I don't expect our friends on the left to read it because it has a lot of complex concepts and they use a lot of big words, but it is an accurate portrayal of the history and not the spoon fed lies of the left

Redstate. Lower right quadrant. Propaganda. Fake news. Lower right for the lower IQ.

"Sanger, who was arrested several times in her efforts to bring birth control to women in the United States, set up her first clinic in Brooklyn in 1916. In the late 1930s, she sought to bring clinics to black women in the South, in an effort that was called the “Negro Project.” Sanger wrote in 1939 letters to colleague Clarence James Gamble that she believed the project needed a black physician and black minister to gain the trust of the community:

Sanger, 1939: The minister’s work is also important and he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.

Sanger says that a minister could debunk the notion, if it arose, that the clinics aimed to “exterminate the Negro population.” She didn’t say that she wanted to “exterminate” the black population.

The Margaret Sanger Papers Project at New York University says that this quote has “gone viral on the Internet,” normally out of context, and it “doesn’t reflect the fact that Sanger recognized elements within the black community might mistakenly associate the Negro Project with racist sterilization campaigns in the Jim Crow south, unless clergy and other community leaders spread the word that the Project had a humanitarian aim.”

Wilson, FDR, and Truman would all be Democrats today. Hillary still is. It's clear you have no clue based on what each said and/or did.

You already have one reliable source. Do you need another to make the argument stronger?
