At least you get it. Reagan knew how to capitalize on racial division: 1. Reagan launched his 1980 general election campaign with a speech lauding “states’ rights” outside Philadelphia, Mississippi — the site of the notorious “Mississippi Burning” murder of three civil rights workers in 1964. The bodies of slain civil rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman and Mickey Schwerner lie in an earthen dam June, 1964 just southwest of Philadelphia, Mississippi. James Chaney, Mickey Schwerner and Andrew Goodman were abducted and killed in Mississippi by the local Ku Klux Klan in June 1964 — a case that garnered enormous national attention because, as Schwerner’s widow said, he and Goodman were white. On August 3, 1980, Reagan traveled to the Neshoba County Fair, which a prominent state Republican had recommended as the place to find “George Wallace-inclined voters.” There — within walking distance of the earthen dam where the murderers of the three civil rights workers had surreptitiously buried them just 16 years before — Reagan delivered a speech including these lines: I know that in speaking to this crowd, that I’m speaking to what has to be about 90 percent Democrat. I just meant by party affiliation. I didn’t mean how you feel now. I was a Democrat most of my life myself. … I believe in states’ rights. … And I believe that we’ve distorted the balance of our government today by giving powers that were never intended in the Constitution to that federal establishment. … As columnist William Raspberry wrote upon Reagan’s death, his endorsement of “states’ rights” — the same phrase white Southerners had used for decades to justify Jim Crow segregation — was “bitter symbolism for black Americans” and “an important bouquet in [GOP] courtship” of Dixiecrats. The “states’ rights” reference was just one of many racist dog-whistles Reagan employed throughout his political career. During his unsuccessful 1976 run for the Republican presidential nomination, Reagan decried “welfare queens” and a “strapping young buck” who bought T-bone steaks with food stamps. In his 1984 reelection campaign he even returned to Philadelphia and declared that “the South shall rise again.” From: https://theintercept.com/2015/09/16/seven-things-reagan-wont-mentioned-tonight-gops-debate/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really need "evidence" that racists vote for democrats as well? @AuCivilEng1 clarified his remarks. I appreciate you jumping in though.

And it's not my job to "persuade" you, much less educate you. Educate yourself and read up on it. Heck, start with Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid_South (And don't forget the references list.) I think that's part of the issue. You "educate" yourself with wikipedia, the daily beast, snopes, vice, huff po opinion pieces, etc. Your cup of indoctrination is overflowing. Unfortunately, more times than not, it lacks congruency a fundamental, achievable aspiration afforded to all in our democratic society: the ability to persuade your fellow citizen. The form of one's argumentation is often commensurate with the density of their study. Brother Homer, dig deeper. I certainly think you're capable. I believe in you bud.
