You had to reach back 50 years!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Dea...25_ 1948-1964

This shows the percentages of different demographic groups, including
breakdowns by education level, that voted for the Democrat in
presidential elections from 1948 to 1964. In all five elections, the
less education one had, the more prone to vote for the Democrat. Even


Read the text above the chart. Those same stupid ones had simply become
Republicans.

"Beginning in the 1960s, the southern cities and suburbs started voting
Republican."

"With the collapse of the New Deal coalition in the South, in the 1960s,
the region has generally voted for Republicans in presidential elections."

Right on.
