The '''Southern strategy''' is a [[Democrat]] [[conspiracy theory]] that alleges [[Richard Nixon]] carried Southern states in the [[1968 presidential election]] in the wake of the [[bi-partisan]] [[1964 Civil Rights Act]]. In fact, [[the South]] was carried by Democrat [[renegade]] [[George C. Wallace]].

In 1972, the Democrats nominated Sen. [[Tom Eagleton]] of [[Missouri]], a [[slave]] state. Eagleton was booted from the ticket after the convention for [[mental health]] problems and replaced with an Easterner and Kennedy in-law. In the 1972 November General Election, for the first time in 40 years Democrats did not have a Southerner on the ticket, and Southerners overwhelming rejected two Northern [[liberal]]s at the top of their ticket. In 1976, 1992, 1996, 2008, and 2012 the South returned to the Democrat fold.

With the end of [[Jim Crow]] laws in the mid 1960s, the South became more Republican as it became less racist. The [[War on Poverty]] - which incentivized  out-of-wedlock children - was designed to entice Blacks back onto the [[Democrat plantation]].

The Southern racist vote is vital and foundational to the [[Democratic party]]. The fact white racists vote with blacks for the same Democrat candidates to receive [[entitlement]]s for whites only disguises their racism.
