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:

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.
