I know it's not trans related but I dono who else or where else to ask this question that has puzzled me for 10 years. During his Re-elections Eisenhower won Louisiana by roughly 15 points. In those days Republicans were lucky to win the upper south and slightly less Democratic states like Florida in the Deep South (which was still a huge Democratic state then). Texas I can understand Eisenhower winning but the Deep South was uniformly Democratic during Eisenhowers elections, expect LA that voted for him. given LA was massively Democratic back then (be the equivalent of a Democrat winning North Dakota today) why would LA ditch the Deep south transition and vote for a moderate northern GOP person back then? Does anyone know? Thanks!
