I hate the GOP, but let's dispel with this fiction that Goldwater inspired racist Democrats to become Republicans. It's almost as bad as the myth that Northern Republicans wanted to abolish slavery because they were so magnanimous and righteous.

They are. The South went from 60% Democratic to 80% Republican thanks to Goldwater's racist campaign platform.

They are from Michigan, what else do you expect.
It must have gone back to solid Carter country because he out-racisted Goldwater, LOL.
No, that was identity politics. The Democrats ran a white Southerner who spoke in the thick drawl who was just like them.
