Cliches like "white backlash" and "southern strategy" are inadequate to explain the conservative turn in post-1960s politics. ... Racism has not been overcome. One might say rather that it has become redundant. One of Lassiter's many fascinating demonstrations of racism's superfluousness is his recounting of the actual use of the "southern strategy." The strategy obviously failed the Dixiecrats in 1948 and the GOP in 1964. The only time Nixon seriously tried to appeal to southern racism, in the 1970 midterm elections, the South rejected his party and elected Democrats like Jimmy Carter and Dale Bumpers instead (pp. 264–74). To win a nationwide majority, Republicans and Democrats alike had to appeal to the broad middle-class privileges that most people believed they had earned. Lassiter suggests that the first step on the way out of hypersegregation and resegregation is to stop indulging in comforting narratives. The most comforting narratives attribute the whole problem to racists and the Republicans who appease them.</q></cite><span title="ctx_ver=Z39.88-2004&amp;rft_val_fmt=info%3Aofi%2Ffmt%3Akev%3Amtx%3Ajournal&amp;rft.genre=article&amp;rft.jtitle=Reviews+in+American+History&amp;rft.atitle=Did+Racists+Create+the+Suburban+Nation%3F&amp;rft.volume=V+35&amp;rft.issue=1&amp;rft.pages=89-97&amp;rft.date=2007-03&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.semanticscholar.org%2FCorpusID%3A144202527%23id-name%3DS2CID&amp;rft_id=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jstor.org%2Fstable%2F30031671%23id-name%3DJSTOR&amp;rft_id=info%3Adoi%2F10.1353%2Frah.2007.0004&amp;rft.aulast=Chappell&amp;rft.aufirst=David&amp;rfr_id=info%3Asid%2Fen.wikipedia.org%3ASolid+South" class="Z3988"></span></span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Elliott_County-167"><span class="mw-cite-backlink">^ <a href="#cite_ref-Elliott_County_167-0"><sup><i><b>a</b></i></sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Elliott_County_167-1"><sup><i><b>b</b></i></sup></a></span> <span class="reference-text"><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1238218222"><cite id="CITEREFNelson2013" class="citation web cs1">Nelson, Ellot (May 10, 2013). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/solid-south-democratic-party-kentucky_n_3151539">"Democratic Party Survives in Rural Elliott County, Kentucky"</a>. <i>Huffington Post</i><span class="reference-accessdate">.
