In this thread, I will compare a few states in their 1988 form vs their 2016 form.
Blue=republican
Red=Democrat
First up; LOUISIANA
1988:
2016:
next up: OKLAHOMA
1988:
2016:
Next up: Kentucky
1988:
2016:
Next up: IOWA
1988:
2016:
Next up: SOUTH DAKOTA
1988:
2016:
Next up: west virginia
1988:
2016:
Next up: missouri
1988:
2016:
MY POINT: there were many people who the left now calls racist hickish rednecks who were card carrying democrats in RECENT american memory.

a Republican freed the slaves.
Dems had a lock in the south for over 100 years.
Began to change in the 80s with the moral majority.

California is clearly racist for this fact alone.

Point would be even stronger if you did 2008 and 2016. Maybe not as many color changes, but it would show a fair number of ebil racist Trumpkins voting for O.

Also, the Louisiana map you post from 1988 is unlike the others in at least one respect: the Cajuns took longer to go Republican than rural whites in those other states, and probably because they were discriminated against because they were Cajuns.
Look at this map from 1964:
Part of this was love for JFK. But I suspect there was some Cajun identity politics going on that led them to vote for Democrats for the same reason blacks and Hispanics do today: they sub-consciously looked at the Democrats as the party who stood up for minorities.
