21. No coincidence that the Southern Strategy involved absorbing the Dixiecrat
Further west, it becomes a bit more complicated. As far as the deep south goes, however, yes. It certainly isn't a coincidence.

I do believe, however, that racism isn't the pervading issue it once was. NOT that it doesn't play a factor, just that the southern states are deep red now much for the same reasons most of the plains and badland states are.
