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

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

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