As business and industry grew along with communication sources, middle class citizens began to realize conservative values.
In the south, Nursing homes and college dorms are filled with democrats, everyone else is more conservative than your average liberal.
Its a common misconception that backwoods southern rednecks vote repulican. Those people still vote democrats along with the inner cities which in most cases are made up of a majority of minorities. LOL
The surburbs of the cities create the red states.

It was called 'the southern strategy' and it was designed to get the dixie democrats voting republican basically because they didn't like the repeal of segregation and all that this entailed. The republican party stole the racist vote, which is their modus operandi. Scrape the bottom of the barrel for votes, offer simple solutions to complex problems, get elected AT ALL COSTS and spread the blame when the time comes to pay the piper.
