    Cracks me up how the progressives always scream "RAYCISM!!!" and Nixon Southern strategy as to why they can't win in rural America. Fuck all that bullshit. The Civil Rights Act was signed in 1964. Dems Senators were regularly winning in red meat states well into the early 2000s. Tom Daschle was from South Dakota for Christ's sake. If they hadn't become exclusively big coastal city liberalism this wouldn't even be an issue.
    Its also pretty hard to define red/blue states once you start to look into it. Do you go by governor, presidential elections, or state legislatures?

    Texas had NEVER had a Republican governor until 2000 with Rick Perry

    West Virginia had ONE full term Republican Senator elected in 1942 and then never had another republican senator until 2014

    Mississippi from 1882 - 1978 (almost 100 years) did not have a single Republican in ANY of its executive offices. 2007 was the first year since 1878 where Republicans held a majority in one of the states legislature.

    The party labels have become next to useless for me personally. They mean next to nothing.

    I see the elitism of the west coasters here in the tug all the tim - many here always make derogatory remarks about the hicks in the Plains and South.







    No need to go that far on the map - could just direct it down here in SW Warshington

    But are we going with our modern day definition of the Republican and Democratic parties here?

    Present day southern red states were NOT down with the “Party of Lincoln” until probably the early 1950s.

    Also in Cheyenne: drive through liquor combined with tatty bar.


    Just realized I've had lunch at that Hope Solo.

    Not really a question, but I could’ve worded that poast better.

    It just makes sense that Mississippi didn’t have a Republican in any executive offices for almost 100 years as they were hated for their role in Reconstruction and support of civil rights.
