11. To paraphrase Edmond Rostand….
“Now, as I end my refrain, ……thrust home!”
Time to skewer the myth of a Southern Strategy….
By the numbers we can see who got the racist vote: Democrats
George Wallace:
“Segregation Now, Segregation Forever”
George Wallace votes went to Democrats.
Wallace was a Democrat, and the same people who voted for Wallace voted Democrat...
Slavers, segregationists, and other racists.
"Four years after Goldwater, the segregationist vote went right back to Democrats: Humphrey got half of Wallace’s supporters on election day. Nixon got none of ‘em.
“When the '68 campaign began, Nixon was at 42 percent, Humphrey at 29 percent, Wallace at 22 percent. When it ended, Nixon and Humphrey were tied at 43 percent, with Wallace at 13 percent. The 9 percent of the national vote that had been peeled off from Wallace had gone to Humphrey.” Pat Buchanan - The neocons & Nixon's southern strategy
Watch how Buchanan characterizes the Democrat Party:
"Richard Nixon kicked off his historic comeback in 1966 with a column on the South (by Buchanan) that declared we would build our Republican Party on a foundation of states rights, human rights, small government and a strong national defense, and leave it to the "party of Maddox, Mahoney and Wallace to squeeze the last ounces of political juice out of the rotting fruit of racial injustice."
What did the racist party….the Democrats….do?
They authored the Southern Strategy myth.
Some fools still believe it.
