No I really can't follow it. I have no idea what drugs have to do with this dicsusssion. I can't believe you're seriously claiming that white southerners would leave the democratic party for the republicans because kids in the sixties were taking drugs? I gave them credit for more brains than that when I claimed it was over civil rights for blacks.
I count Maryland as a southern state because it was only kept in the union by force and because Jim Crow laws prevailed there along with the rest of the south.

One more time...real slow...Drugs were part of the moral decline taking place in America in the 1960's, along with war protesters, the burning of the American Flag, draft dodging, free love, etc. Most of those that participated in all of this were liberals and associated with the Democratic party. Put all of that together with the civil rights issue and you'll see why so many jumped ship to the Republican Party.
Those of us in the Deep South don't count Maryland as a southern state. It may be south of the Mason-Dixon line but it wasn't part of the CSA so they're Yankees to us.
