This. I was going to correct him myself, and specifically mention LBJ, but sometimes I think I come off as a "school marm" by correcting posts too much.This is totally wrong. The "dixiecrats" changed parties when johnson signed the Civil Rights Acts. ronald the raygun had absolutely nothing to do with it.
The Southern Strategy, constructed by lee atwater and strom thurmond was implemented by tricky dick. Again, the raygun had zero to do with it.
Let's keep history factual.
Pretty much all Ronnie did was ride in on the work previous conservatives had done for him.
One minor correction though: the "Dixiecrats" started even earlier at the 1948 Democratic National Convention when Hubert Humphrey vocally supported a Civil Rights platform.
