Another lie.The "Southern Strategy" was not a myth. It is very much like the "Illegals Strategy" by the Dems today. The difference being that the Americans were citizens but the illegals are not until they make them so.The Southern Strategy is a myth.
They did not pander to racists to get votes, which is what the Southern Strategy is based on.
Republicans in fact used racist rhetoric to attract conservatives in the South to the GOP.
LOL!!! Rhetoric doesn't flip a dozen states for generations. And you are still lying. If you tried to back that shit up, you would cherry pick and misrepresent and lie.
For every statement that you could point to and claim "Wacism" I could point to a formal policy statement, BACKED UP BY REAL POLICY, that showed that the republicans of that era were just as committed to civil rights as the dems of the time, if not more so.
YOu want to go? Pick your best example to support your shit. Not a cut and paste truckload of gish gallop bullshit.
YOUR BEST EXAMPLE and I will counter it with POLICY STATEMENTS representing the formal policy positions of the GOP at that time.
THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY IS A LIE AND YOU KNOW IT.
