Many,if not most of them.That was the exact purpose of the republican southern strategy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Southern_strategy Southern strategy "The Southern United States as defined by the United States Census Bureau In American politics, the southern strategy was the Republican Party's policy to gain political support in the South by appealing to the racism against African Americans harbored by many southern white voters"
Yes, it is. This is because the flag isn't about slavery, or wasn't until you snowflakes started pointing out how offensive it was.
You'll have to forgive Tony/AK Forty Seven. He found a new link on Wikipedia today and wants to show everyone.
I am against racism for various reasons... but I want to see a fair debate. I think we should recognize that the change in voting patterns is not just about racism. Most of my relatives in New York and New England switched from voting democrat to republican because democrats abandoned their values. It was not just the south in happened all over the suburbs everywhere. Many evangelical and Catholic voters were abandoned by the democrats. Any party that favors partial birth abortion is going to be seen by many believers as a party that is supporting infant murder. Many believers are going to leave a party with such a barbaric stance and many of those believers have families and live in suburbs. this part of the wikipedia shows it maybe more nuanced. In academia, "southern strategy" refers primarily to "top down" narratives of the political realignment of the South, which suggest that Republican leaders consciously appealed to many white southerners' racial resentments in order to gain their support.[5] This top-down narrative of the southern strategy is generally believed to be the primary force that transformed southern politics following the civil rights era.[6][7] This view has been questioned by historians such as Matthew Lassiter, Kevin M. Kruse and Joseph Crespino, who have presented an alternative, "bottom up" narrative, which Lassiter has called the "suburban strategy". This narrative recognizes the centrality of racial backlash to the political realignment of the South,[8] but suggests that this backlash took the form of a defense of de facto segregation in the suburbs, rather than overt resistance to racial integration, and that the story of this backlash is a national, rather than a strictly southern one.[9][10][11][12] The perception that the Republican Party had served as the "vehicle of white supremacy in the South", particularly during the Goldwater campaign and the presidential elections of 1968 and 1972, made it difficult for the Republican Party to win the support of black voters in the South in later years.[4] In 2005, Republican National Committee chairman Ken Mehlman formally apologized to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), a national civil rights organization, for exploiting racial polarization to win elections and ignoring the black vote.[13][14]
So southerners vote republican because they are racist. Then why do northerners vote republican? Or is it all republicans are racist and most of them live in the south? If I was a non racist democrat (which I assume most are) I would be very concerned about the increased racisim in Michigan and Wisconsin. Hopefully they will draw attention to it before the next election.
I would love to see Trump announce that if the Supreme Court rules against him, he will stop all immigration. Which he can do. In addition tell congress that if they refuse to fund the wall, he is bringing troops home from afghanistan, etc and putting them on the border. Our border. The one he is supposed to be protecting.
Trump Campaigns as Hawk then leaves Afghanistan like a Dove Millions Flee Before Wall Is Built. Trumps Low Approval Rating is forcing him to build a wall to keep millions from Fleeing says Center For Equality They should just let me write the headlines. Their's are so obviously biased.
