Lyndon Johnson killed the democratic party's popularity in the south.
Lyndon Johnson accurately predicted that welfare dependence would destroy African American communities and win their votes for decades.
Lefties claim he was just 'acting' super racist behind closed doors to trick the dixicrats in the party... but they achieved all the racist outcomes that were promised.
All of Democrat's policies since has 'inadvertently' smacked down African Americans.
Right until Lyndon Johnson the relative wealth of African Americans was rising faster than for whites, though there was still a gap. Afterwards the rate halved and the gap remains, especially in cities that have been Democrat controlled for decades.
-Marriage rate crashed from the highest to the lowest
-Abortion rate became the highest thanks to planned parenthood
-Stable jobs that required a high school diploma or less were all outsourced
-Migration was massively increased to depress the job market especially at the lower end
-They tricked communities into reverse amortization home loans and average equity crashed
-Biden's crime act deliberately set mandatory sentencing at 5x times the rate for African American communities.
- Democrat controlled cities use school funding zones to massively restrict funding.
- Dems encouraged looting which has devastated African American small businesses first and is now destroying communities as big box stores exit.
Lydon Johnson was such a good actor at being racist that everything went according to his plan.
The issue wasn't 'abandoning the south' it was abandoning rural areas for the cities which were swinging elections. LBJ disliked the poor whites as much as he disliked African Americans and switched focus to the cities. That is literally current Democrats in a nut shell.
