The '''Southern strategy''' was a term used to describe the alleged strategy used by the [[Republican Party]] to win the [[White House]] by winning support in [[The South]] rather than the media centers of [[Boston]] and [[New York City]]. In the movie ''[[Death of a Nation: Can We Save America a Second Time?]]'', [[Dinesh D'Souza]] points out that this alleged strategy was actually one of winning the support of the [[Sun Belt]] rather than the Deep South. He also points out that as the South became less racist, it became more Republican.

[[Liberals]], repeatedly unpopular in the South, have tried to attribute this strategy to racial politics.  The reality is that liberals have always played the [[political card|racist card]] far more often than [[Republicans]] do.
