Yeah, it's something that he leans into by the time you get to the build-up to the 1968 run. He says that he learns from the Goldwater campaign that you can't win with just conservative votes, but you also can't win without them.

And he takes that lesson and he folds it into his political approach as he is eyeing, potentially running against Lyndon Johnson.

It is such a pivotal moment in the history of the two American parties because the Republican Party had thrown an enormous amount of support behind the Civil Rights Act and the Voting Rights Act. The Democratic Party was split down the line because it had so many Southern Democrats who were opposed to black civil rights.

But in the 1964 election, Lyndon Johnson, the Democrat, was the champion of the Civil Rights Act and Barry Goldwater opposed it. And that really created a kind of opening for the Republican Party to woo disaffected white racist voters in the South. Because Barry Goldwater only wins a handful of states. He wins his home state of Arizona and then those deep South states.

So Nixon is looking at that map. And the Republican Party, which had not been competitive in the South since the Civil War. Yes. He looks at that and he says, there is a real opportunity here.

And so he develops what becomes known as a southern strategy to try to figure out a way to woo those white voters in a way that is clear to them that he is going to support them in the realm of civil rights, but is not so obnoxiously racist that it is going to drive away voters in other parts of the country. And that is sort of the line he toes.

Sehr genau. Und du weißt, Nixon kommt aus Kalifornien, könnte in einer Art und Weise sich von den Kriegen über die schwarzen Zivilrechte und die Rasse im Süden auslösen, um sich als jemand zu positionieren, der diese Dynamiken nicht auslösen musste. Und er engagiert sich nie in Segregationist-Politik. Wenn er Rasse-Baiten macht, ist es immer tieflich in der Sprache von Gesetz und Ordnung.
