both filthy rich
both will say anything to get elected

the female keeps people down by making them rely on the government for a place to live and food to eat
the male keeps people down by making them work like slaves

You do realize that those racist southern democrats you are talking about, threatened to switch their party affiliation to Republican if LBJ passed the Civil Rights bill back in the mid 60's. He did, and they went through with their threat. So the racist Democratic party of yesterday is the racist Republican party of today...
The Southern shift is a little more complex than that. Obviously some voters did switch because of the CRA and voting rights act but a lot of it had to do with white flight to the suburbs and those folks becoming more Republican as well as Nixon and Reagan both crushing the entire electorate, not just the South. Both Clinton and Carter did pretty well in the South well after those bills were passed.
The Republican's really didn't start crushing the south on a consistent basis until 30 years after the CRA (1994) so it is a little tough to attribute their entire success in the region to the bill. But yes, obviously some people did switch based on it and that helped Goldwater.
