Did Republican troubles in the north start in the 70's?

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

Yes, due to Vietnam War. The Solid Dems in North split with Nixon Dixiecrats in South and pushed through the War Powers Act. In opposition to Nixon and escalation of Vietnam.

As the RFK Dems were the ones pushing through the Legislatice Veto.

In addition to that, the Southern Dems were pushed out of party leadership, as cmtee chairs, and power was put back in Speaker during 1976 Reforms. Most of the remaining Dixiecrats like Richard Shelby & Phil Gramms of TX, joined the GOP, after Carter admin, as Brady Bill, passed in 1994, further divided the North from South

Woodrow Wilson who was the predecessor of FDR and student of Bryan-Jennings put Karl Marx socialism to good use when they placed the Income tax on Wealthy, to each according to need, Transformed the Democrats to Labor movement, enroads in Philly, NYC

Carter also supported nuclear disarmament of USSR, and was the only president we didnt have military combat. To his detriment of the hostages of Iran.

The prior post was more accurate, as sentimemt towards Vietnam grew, the North began to merge from the South

As far as the income tax in 1916, the gap between rich and poor began to take effect and in 2008 realignmemt with Obama, as incomes fell, and no real wage growth, the North votes solid Democrat. And away from GOP.

Yeah, Social Security has failed to keep up with the rich, as the cap on SSA tax  havent been raised and needs to, as Boomers retire.

[Amenhotep Bakari-Sellers]

I didnt say that I am entitled to rich income. Poor people pay over 1/3rd of income in SSA, Rich people only a 1/4th. Boomers are taking all of SSA taxes. Our Generation isnt going come close to taking that type of money out of treasury.

The GOP has not trouble in North, but boarder South for exception of IN, without Kasich, they dont win the Potomac, like OH, and Trump has lost ground in OH. I think Clinton wins OH.
