The democratic party was a mixture of Northern Liberals and Southern Conservatives who flocked to the party more out of tradition than anything else (Vote for the Party of Lincoln). You have to realize that this was the time of Pork. The Candidate that could bring home the bacon typically won re-election. This meant that a lot of democrats would vote on republican bills if they put enough pork in it. Republicans would vote on Democratic Bills, if they got the pork. The whole thing meant massive spending around the country, and a generally centrist government.
Nixon ran in 1968 with a dog whistle campaign to attract the “Silent Majority.” That continued the break of the Solid South from the Democratic party. Nixon was quite a divisive figure. He ran an “Us Vs. Them” campaign, and worked hard to make sure his “US” was enough to win. A very shrewd politician.
Carter was a Southerner, and that helped him in ‘76. But the Economy and Failures in Iran sealed his fate. Reagan put together the modern coalition that the Republicans rely on now. Religious social conservatives who care more about making sure everyone “acts” right, and Fiscal Conservatives who make sure that “THEY” can’t get anything from the government.
