The next phase of Southern politics is most famous: the dissolution of the Democratic hold on the white South, beginning in 1948 and ending in 1968. But WV really wasn't part of that swing, shown here in the swing from 48 to 68. In fact, WV votes Humphrey *and* doesn't shift R https://t.co/2l5u4uMg6D — PolitiTweet.org

(I don't think swinging Dem during the New Deal makes WV politics non-Southern, btw; But I think *becoming* Dem during the New Deal is a story more like, say, western PA) — PolitiTweet.org

I should also note that WV was entirely unpersuaded by Wallace in 68 (Thurmond wasn't even on the ballot) https://t.co/SmoafRyMYj — PolitiTweet.org

The fifth strongest correlate of Trump support was percent supporting segregationist George Wallace in 1968 https://t.co/aicc40hMo0
