  1. Started voting Republican in 1964 because of Barry Goldwater’s… economic policy, right?

    It’s super interesting how red New York was given FDR was the friggen governor there *at the time* and that’s where he was born and spent most of his career up till then.

    Edit: ok FDR won New York 54% to 41%. NYC is dense lol

  3. FYI: FDR won NY, NJ, MA, RI

    He also took KY, TN, VA, and NC.

    And IL, OH, and MI

    And everything west of PA.

    I like how there are a couple of counties in east Tennessee that, no matter what permutation of policy, have simply never voted for a Democratic party nominee in the entirety of their existence. Doesn’t matter if it’s a conservative, moderate or liberal Democratic candidate, they just won’t. Maybe if they’d existed when Andrew Jackson ran, but they were formed after he left office IIRC.

  5. FDR was the turning point. He was the first Democrat to capture the black vote (mostly in northern cities). It began the 40 year process of southern whites switching to the Republican Party.

  6. Farmers used to be at the center of US progressive politics.

    Decades of brain-drain, incomprehension at which party is on their side against the corporations, and manufactured outrage on partisan media, and they now vote against their own interests 70% of the time.
