There's a great reluctance on the part of the repubs to discuss or even
acknowledge the "Southern Strategy." Without that bit of racist
strategy, the modern GOP would have ceased to exist.

In brief, until 1964, much of the "deep south" apparatus of the
Democratic Party was in the hands of the States' Rights Democratic
Party, aka the Dixiecrats. Segregationists. Beginning in 1964, the
national Democratic party stopped seating segregated delegations to its
national conventions, and southern white racists left the party to join
up with the Republicans, who, via Richard Nixon's "Southern Strategy,"
played on the racial fears and hates of many white southern voters, and
their opposition to civil rights and desegregation.

The GOP is still using the Southern Strategy to instill racial fear in
the simple-minded.
