Best way for me to express my opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
What in the hell has the fycking civil rights act done to your profits?!
Did Nixon support the CRA? I was unaware.
Not every Wallace voter, at least outside the deep South, was a rabid right-winger or racist (though of course many were). Some were simply fed up (in 1968!) with the two-party system. Also, I have read that quite a number of Bobby Kennedy's supporters switched their support to Wallace after Kennedy's death.The vast majority of ACTUAL "right-wingers" (as in, people who held views on the far right of the political spectrum) voted for Nixon, obviously; there was nothing overly "right-wing" about Wallace unless you consider being racist a "right-wing" position of kind, but common sense and my life experiences have reinforced the idea that doing so is inexplicably stupid.
As for the CRA, Nixon almost certainly supported it. I remember reading several comments about his about how he needed to target Southern voters by not being obnoxious on issues like busing, but he would "never be able to reach the Wallace voter."
