    I figured you were confused by "Democrats" and that's why I posted a link to #SouthernStrategy that separates #ModernDemocrats, #SouthernDemocrats, #BourbonDemocrats, and #Dixiecrats here mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

    It is complicated, but the gist is summarized in the thesis that societies are neither static nor homogenous. See mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/1

    #KevinPhillips' book, “The Emerging Republican Majority” provided a blueprint for Southern Strategy ⬆️ #Republican Party adopted to win over #White voters alienated by #Democratic Party embrace of #CivilRights in 1960s. He pushed to exploit White racial anxieties. Beginning with #Nixon, it produced GOP majorities for decades

    I'm guessing you've conflated "Dems" above with #ModernDemocrats, #SoutherDemocrats, #BourbonDemocrats, and #Dixiecrats

    It's difficult to understand that societies aren't static. Times change. People change. Countries change. Their attitudes & policies change. Even more difficult to fathom is that societies aren't homogenous. Not all of #USA thinks the same way

    About societies being neither static nor homogenous
