Read your history. Who really passed the Civil rights amendment? Was it the Dems in the 60s or the Repubs? Whose side was Johnson really voting against? I think you will find it was the Dems in the south that favored segregation and that was their Waterloo. What are now considered Republican and Democrat core issues have switched remarkably since then.

In vast swaths of America not called NYC or LA, Liberal is still a dirty word. Especially in the south. Texas and Florida are just as big as NY and CA voting wise and the demographics favor the Sun belt. Not to mention the giant swing in local elections that will decide the borders of congressional districts. There is trend here that looks a lot like 1994, but it seems the Repubs have learned and are specifically targeting Obama unlike Clinton.
