If i may piggyback on this. In the 60s-70s the Democratic party underwent massive change. Dixiecrats to more modern democratic party values. How did they reconcile this with the voting public? How did they, in a sense, "rebrand" themselves?

Hi everyone,

Threads about 20th century American politics always get a lot of attention, but those upvotes represent interest in the question, and there may not be an answer yet when you click that link. It can often take time for a good answer to be written. This is not an invitation for you to share your speculative views in the meantime. The mission of /r/AskHistorians is to provide users with in-depth and comprehensive responses, and our rules are intended to facilitate that purpose. We remove comments which don't follow them for reasons including unfounded speculation, shallowness, and of course, inaccuracy.

Of course, we know that it can be frustrating to come in here from your frontpage or /r/all and see only [removed], but we ask for your patience and understanding. Great content is produced on this subreddit every day though, and we hope that while you wait, you will check out places they are featured, including Twitter, the Sunday Digest, the Monthly "Best Of" feature, and now, Facebook. It is very rare that a decent answer doesn't result in due time, so please do come check back on this thread in a few hours. If you think you might forget, send a Private Message to the Remind-Me bot, and it will ensure you don't!

Thank you!
