There have been multiple realignments, the relevant one there was Nixon and the Southern Strategy.

Don't suppose you can point to a comprehensive list of the realignments?

[–] Armok_the_bunny@lemmy.world 7 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Comprehensive? Lord no, but Wikipedia does have a decent enough list here.

Looks pretty comprehensive to me. Appreciate it!

Though the "Other possible political realignments" section feels a little liberal in its definition of "realignments", what with approximately every other election since 1964 being labeled as a realignment.

That's kinda why I called it not comprehensive, it seems a bit too inclusive for me to think that word quite applies.
