You never had Republicans more Left than Democrats in the early 1960s.  That is just revisionist propaganda.  They were all the same. 

You're then probably asking: why did (some) whyte Southerners vote for JFK in 1960 ?

Easy.

If you read ANY literature or media piece from the time, everyone spoke of the "declination" and degeneration of America under Eisenhower's leadership.   In hindsight, we view the 1950s as an era of peace and prosperity.

But that was not the consensus viewpoint in late 50s America.
