Roots of the Southern strategy (1963–1972)[edit]
The "Year of Birmingham" in 1963 highlighted racial issues in Alabama. Through the spring, there were marches and demonstrations to end legal segregation. The Movement's achievements in settlement with the local business class were overshadowed by bombings and murders by the Ku Klux Klan, most notoriously in the deaths of four girls in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing.[35]
After the Democrat George Wallace was elected as Governor of Alabama, he emphasized the connection between states' rights and segregation, both in speeches and by creating crises to provoke Federal intervention. He opposed integration at the University of Alabama, and collaborated with the Ku Klux Klan in 1963 in disrupting court-ordered integration of public schools in Birmingham.[35]


1964 Presidential candidate Barry Goldwater won his home state of Arizona and five states in the Deep South, depicted in red. The Southern states, traditionally Democratic up to that time, voted Republican primarily as a statement of opposition to the Civil Rights Act, which had been passed in Congress earlier that year. Capturing 61.1% of the popular vote and 486 electors, Johnson won in a landslide.
Many of the states' rights Democrats were attracted to the 1964 presidential campaign of conservative Republican Senator Barry Goldwater of Arizona. Goldwater was notably more conservative than previous Republican nominees, such as Dwight D. Eisenhower. Goldwater's principal opponent in the primary election, Governor Nelson Rockefeller of New York, was widely seen as representing the more moderate, pro-Civil Rights Act, Northern wing of the party (see Rockefeller Republican, Goldwater Republican).[36]
In the 1964 presidential campaign, Goldwater ran a conservative campaign that broadly opposed strong action by the federal government. Although he had supported all previous federal civil rights legislation, Goldwater decided to oppose the Civil Rights Act of 1964.[37] He believed that this act was an intrusion of the federal government into the affairs of states and, second, that the Act interfered with the rights of private persons to do business, or not, with whomever they chose, even if the choice is based on racial discrimination.
Goldwater's position appealed to white Southern Democrats, and Goldwater was the first Republican presidential candidate since Reconstruction to win the electoral votes of the Deep South states (Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and South Carolina). Outside the South, Goldwater's negative vote on the Civil Rights Act proved devastating to his campaign. The only other state he won was his home one of Arizona, and he suffered a landslide defeat. A Lyndon B. Johnson ad called "Confessions of a Republican", which ran in the North, associated Goldwater with the Ku Klux Klan. At the same time, Johnson’s campaign in the Deep South publicized Goldwater’s support for pre-1964 civil rights legislation. In the end, Johnson swept the election.[38]
At the time, Goldwater was at odds in his position with most of the prominent members of the Republican Party, dominated by so-called Eastern Establishment and Midwestern Progressives. A higher percentage of the Republican Party supported the Civil Rights Act of 1964[37] than did the Democratic Party, as they had on all previous Civil Rights legislation. The Southern Democrats mostly opposed the Northern Party members—and their presidents (Kennedy and Johnson)—on civil rights issues. At the same time, passage of the Civil Rights Act caused many black voters to join the Democratic Party, which moved the party and its nominees in a progressive direction.[39]

Georgia is a majority dumbass redneck state.

Dumbass rednecks vote Republican.

2 + 2 = 4.

Simple.

Snowflakes melting! lol

[PostmodernProphet]

So what?

Check the history of that district. The Republican has won the Congressional seat by an average of 30+ % every single election - for decades.

It's as solid red as a district can get. The fact that Trump won by 1% there shows that he IS unpopular - but Congressional elections still tend to be local.

/shrugs.....as we've pointed out.....the demmycrats didn't agree with you.......

/shrugs.....as we've pointed out.....the demmycrats didn't agree with you.......

/shrugs - and as I've said, you're talking about opinion, and not reality. The fact that Dems had wishful thinking about GA's 6th doesn't change anything about GA's 6th.

Ultimately, I don't care. Believe what you want about this week's results. I'm sure Dems were all giddy about winning the 1st 7 special elections of Obama's tenure, as well.

[PostmodernProphet]

so off the cuff stupid most of us are wondering why anyone even talks to you anymore

she's like a top.......if you don't give her a spin from time to time she falls over.......

so we can't gloat about the demmycrats being wrong, because the demmycrats were wrong?........

I would never take your gloat rights away. It is absolutely, 100% what you guys are best at.

Besides winning elections.

didn't your parents ever teach you that stealing and cheating is not really winning

[cawacko]

1) The federal and state and local gov'ts used redlining to not allow black Americans to purchase homes in certain areas for decades. That was finally outlawed but the damage was done

2) many of the same land use restrictions that were used back then are still in place today to prevent development and to increase the property values of the current white homeowners

3) this is occurring in California and in our most politically liberal communities

I said nothing about this starting in 2008. I'm speaking about the actual issue and talking about solutions. You don't want to discuss it for some reason, probably because it doesn't fit neatly with your all racism is right wing position you take.

Since you average calling me a racist about a half dozen times a day Desh feel free to tell me where you think I am right or wrong here along with where I'm being racist.

Mine certainly taught me that, as well as to fear God and to keep His commandments, to wash behind my ears, abortion is murder, never vote for a liberal, to make my bed, to treat others like I want to be treated...which I'm not doing right now because I'm trolling desh. Sorry Mom and Dad....

They've grown quite comfortable with it. Then again, their opponents are a bunch of screaming children in an airplane. Even their own parents don't want them.
