“[W]hen Lyndon Johnson was president and signed the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act in '64 and '65, the very next election was Nixon's, and it was known as the {{w|Southern strategy}}... [I]f you look at the electoral map, the red and blue map... of almost every election (there are a couple of anomolies)... since 1968, the red states... sure look a lot like the Confederate States of America... After the Voting Rights Act, all the racist right wing Democrats joined the Republican party and that gave birth to what we have today.”
