Democratic party transformation from the party of the deep south, to a hipster, liberal one in just around 1 decade is truly remarkable.
Remember, Carter won the vote in 1976! Just few years after the Vietnam war.
- pjc50 5y ago.. I put that at about a five decade period? "Hipster" wasn't really a thing until about the Obama era, and the "party of the deep south" ended round about the Civil Rights Act? Carter lost due to (a) oil crisis inflation driven by OPEC and (b) the botched military operation in Iran, neither of which outcomes were really within his control. (The emphasis on Benghazi used against Hilary Clinton was clearly driven by this strategy having worked previously)
- serf 5y ago>"Hipster" wasn't really a thing until about the Obama era, and the "party of the deep south" ended round about the Civil Rights Act? is hipster now some politcal term? the meaning I'm familiar with is from the 1940s, it just became in vogue again recently.
