As a consumer of textiles for quilting and home decor, I wish it had never left. The fabric for sale is either highly overpriced or just crap. The prints on the textiles that used to be characteristic of America such as calico look like they were designed in a Chinese kindergarten. You can drive a truck between strands of the weave in the affordable broadcloth or muslin. Traditional fabrics like batiste or cotton voile have been adulterated with fillers and polyester. There's no love there anymore; it's just how cheaply can we make it, and how fast?
All the talk of impeachment has them reaching for their "nyah nyah, yours was the worst" defenses.
The so-called southern strategy is a myth concocted by liberals. There wasn't one program created by the '64 civil rights bill that Nixon stopped. There were no covert, subliminal appeals to racist southern whites to vote for Republicans. The fact was a very socially liberal Nixon was not as radical as George McGovern.
Blacks loved Kennedy, that’s what put them in the Democratic camp once and for all.
Nixon’s biggest crime?
Lemme see now, Nixon created the EPA - - - did he do something worse than that?
“It’s an old & simplistic calumny - that Ku Kluxers switched to the Republican Party”
Exactly. Considering the fact that the republican party voted in favor of the 1964 civil rights bill in larger percentages than the democrats, why would those ku kluxers leave the democratic party for a party that voted in favor of civil rights by larger margins?

Memo to washington post: I’ll be happy to replace richard cohen for you and I’ll work for a smaller salary than what you are currently paying him.
George Wallace won the deep south in 1968. Some southern strategy that was. Humphrey won Texas. These libs deal in canards.
“The Democratic Party showed racists the door.”
Anyone recall the democratic party showing racists the door?
Anyone?

I had at least a couple undergrad polisci professors, both veterans of the Civil Rights Movement, identify the tipping point for Blacks as then-candidate Kennedy calling MLK Jr. as he was sitting in jail.
The crux of the Liberal “Southern Strategy” argument is that the Republicans didn’t match Dems action for action on Civil Rights. IOW it positions the Civil Rights Movement as a political bidding war where the GOP couldn’t and wouldn’t pander and bribe to the level Dems could and did.
The big lie, once again.

You have the causation reversed. Increases in the minimum wage and more stringent OSHA regulations, among other things, made labor too expensive for domestic firms to manufacture most textile products and apparel at prices affordable to the middle class. You can still buy a hand-stitched shirt made in the USA, but be prepared to pay close to $100 for it.
