It’s not what Ty has been bleating.

'The Intercept'...a better source would be former GOP strategist, Stuart Stevens...among many others...who lays out the Southern Strategy for you.
Kudos for trying, Ara...
The people quoted are reputable. You certainly are not.
Southern Strategy,...here's and excerpt...
---------------------
Kevin Phillips, a self-taught ethnographer whose groundbreaking findings in the mid-1960s heralded what he called an “emerging Republican majority” in national politics, based on a so-called Southern strategy that would help the party win five of the next six presidential elections, died on Monday in Naples, Fla. He was 82.
Mr. Phillips was in his late 20s when he published his first book, “The Emerging Republican Majority” (1969), which, refining earlier studies he had done, predicted a rightward realignment in national politics driven by ethnic and racial divisions and white discontent.
With that book, he emerged as an influential, if controversial, conservative theoretician. (He called himself a “political analyst,” not a strategist.) He would be credited with predicting and even masterminding the Southern strategy, which in large part enabled Richard M. Nixon to narrowly win the presidency in 1968 by appealing to the grievances of white voters in the South who had historically voted for Democrats. (Nixon said he did not read the book until after the election.)
“All the talk about Republicans making inroads into the Negro vote is persiflage,” Mr. Phillips wrote.
In what many considered a cynical calculation, he recommended that Republicans not dilute the Voting Rights Act because “the more Negroes who register as Democrats in the South, the sooner the Negrophobe whites will quit the Democrats and become Republicans.”
“That’s where the votes are,” he added. “Without that prodding from the blacks, the whites will backslide into their old comfortable arrangement with the local Democrats.”
“The whole secret of politics,” he told the journalist Garry Wills during the 1968 presidential campaign, “is knowing who hates who.”

I've got a ton more sources that support the reality of the "Southern Strategy", Ara...way more than you'll ever find trying to counter it...but feel free to try and wiggle out of this ;-).

More tyronian horse manure.

You just coughed up fantasy manure from a “self taught ethnographer”
That’s hilarious.
expert than that...both of them acknowledge the reality of "The Southern Strategy". It's a bitter pill to swallow, but if you want to shed yourself of any racist stain, then own up to the reality and vow to do all you can to root it out.

Before Nixon the South was solidly KKK Democrats. Those were the ones that switched.
But in all honesty... both sides have exploited the race issue... albeit in different ways.
Exactly how did the Republicans promote racism in the South? The South became less racist.
The Republicans got the Civil Rights act passed.
I’m an independent. Ty is a lying dembot.
no one is controlling their votes.
