Of course, Nixon was going to Nixon, and his historic success was short-lived and largely forgotten. Sure, the sank his administration, but I think Nixon's popularity doesn't come up a lot because it might draw attention to his , , and the Democratic Party SWITCHING to "the party of Black people".

16/23 But the biggest tipping point (and the one most conveniently forgotten) was 1972. Ready for this?

, a Black woman, ran for the Democratic presidential ticket โ€” the horror!

Phillips said: "White Democrats will desert their party in droves the minute it becomes a black party."

Education was cool, until schools were desegregated.

They eschewed gun control, until strapped up.

They were Democrats until ran for the presidential ticket in 1972 powering Nixon's landslide victory, the biggest in US history.
