You do realize the Democrats had a lock on the South until the 70's, don't you? Prior to that, the only time Republicans controlled the South was during reconstruction. Guess who voted the Republicans in? Not white racists. Learn some history, Howey.
The conservatives had and still have a lock on the south. No matter what party you attribute to them.
This has been noticed by more than you and I Howey but the maps tell the story and you'll never get them to admit it.
Love your gif...LOL
Conservative (which isn't the libertarians or t-baggers) = evangelicals and socially backward folks. They're also hard dippers into the federal money...they cost us a lot of money. Dixiecrats went over to the cozy warmth of the republicans generations ago but these same people resent being called out for their overt racism.
But why does Howey attribute slavery and segregation to the GOP, the party that ended slavery, opposed Jim Crow laws, and passed the civil rights act?

Aside from Strom Thurmond, who recanted and apologized for his racism, do you have any evidence to support this assertion that Dixiecrats flooded into the GOP?
I guess the question comes down to would you rather face someone who openly dislikes you because of your race or go to places like Boston and others where they dislike you because of your race but keep it on the inside and pretend to be your friend on the outside?

Were there restrictions on voting in Boston? Voter ID laws...few machines, long lines? All those things and more (throwing voters off the rolls etc.) were happening in states with the GOP in control.
You project and I don't think you have a clue...stay the way you are and keep blowing your standard crap so the rest of you are equally as ignorant. We'll win next time too.
I'm afraid you're confused. Yes, the Republican Party of old did those things. Good for them.
The maps indicate that the states today that voted Republican are the same states then that voted for slavery and practiced racial segregation.
