Of all the Deep South states that are likely to flip Blue after Georgia, I think Mississippi is next. It doesn't attract RW retirees like Florida or South Carolina, and the native demos don't look good for the GQP.
The Missus watches that show occasionally. They seem like a nice couple, and Laurel looks like a pretty town, but you couldn't pay me enough to relocate my Jewish self to a small town in Mississippi. I don't like burning crosses as lawn ornaments.
This is great, but then I think of OK this last election cycle. Their governor was a corrupt buttplug that everyone hated and poles showed him behind, but he still won in the end.
It’s not like the state has failed to provide it’s one city drinking wate……….oh
The state has the highest population of minority black voters in the country, and has never elected a black person to statewide office largely because of the Jim Crow style popular+ representative vote it just repealed in TWENTY TWENTY. It could be (eventually) democratically competitive now that the state is making incremental 20th century progress with its voting laws.
Let's go Brandon!
Maybe I will have to move to Laurel, Mississippi and have Ben and Erin fix up a house for me.

Mississippi is really going places. I mean they ratified amendments from the 19th century in the late 90s now this! Hoo Boy!

I know! I looked up the voting statistics of the town and there is NO way I would actually ever live there no matter how cute it is. :)
"...Mississippi has a soft spot for hoods."
I am slain to death!If there's more article after that, someone read it aloud at my funeral...
Wow, looking at that guy I'm reminded of lines from a Banjo Patterson poem:
"Their eyes were dull, their heads were flat. They had no brains at all "
You mean they might repeal Prohibition in our lifetimes?
