Okay but what do you mean they flipped KANSAS AND potentially MISSISSIPPI.
Hell. In Texas they flipped something like 20 seats in the state legislature—when in the Democrats' _wildest_ dreams they were talking more like 11—they flipped every single one of those gerrymandered districts that were meant dilute the democratic vote and remove democratic seats, and every state position in Texas flipped from red to blue overnight. I just saw a Republican politician down there describing it as an "extinction." Not "we plucky little stragglers are holding strong against the socialists" but an _extinction_.
That would be huge by itself.
But Kansas and potentially **Mississippi** as well?
Like okay. This won't mean much to more than 3 people who follow me, but:
Natchitoches Parish went for the Republican by +3 in this election.
**Natchitoches** went +3 for the Republican.
Yes, the Republican won both in Natchitoches and the state, but what I need you to understand is that:
1. The white population in Natchitoches is _deeply_ racist to this day.
2. The margin for Trump in 2024 was +22.
3. The republicans took nearly 62% of the vote in the senate race in 2022.
