The only female member

First female in the Caucus for a few years.

yep.

Freedom Caucus are a bit faggy.

Far too concerned about budgets and deficits, rather than more important issues like immigration.

But they're a welcome bulwark in protecting the 2A.

and Lesko said she'd vote for a wall, so that's good

that's a shame

I was hoping we'd keep the border open for eternity and declare a Mariachi Empire.

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 It's incredible how many of these WV Republicans were ex-Democrats.

Probably the last stronghold of the Dixiecrats before it fell to the GOP.

This Jenkins looks like our best bet.

Unseated someone from Congress who was incumbent for 38 years.

The Georgia Governor, Nathan Deal, used to be a democrat too

Oh and West Virginia's Governor only recently switched the Republican Party

Really symbolic of the death of the White Southern Democrat

yep.

With the minor exception of Doug Jones' accidental rise to power

who WILL lose.

he's not a dixiecrat, he was brought to power by blacks

Jones is a centrist who was never meant to win.

And he will lose come reelection.

yes

Hopefully, this will be a wake-up call for White Southerners that they can never skip an election

if Joe Manchin loses in November, it's the final end of the "Conservative Southern Democrat"

Dixiecrats are now known as Republicans.

@FLanon very true

These men are all cowards who stick with the Democrats.

Clinging to their stupid Dixie tradition.

Yes, Schumer holds the reins tight, he doesn't care about that tradition

White Southerners must understand, they cannot afford to stay home. Ever.
Blacks WILL jump upon every opportunity they can to seize power from the White Man and use it against them.

goodbye forever

The slow and painful death of the Dixiecrat was a result of the signing of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. It was a national, existential reordering that resulted in serious jitters, even panic, among Whites across the South. Leading to a enormous backlash with the surge of support for George Wallace.

@🎃Boo-ton🎃 Manchin was repeatedly given the opportunity to become a Republican.

And now he'll lose his senate seat.

@[Lex] It's not lookin good

He's gunna keep it at this rate

Assuming Blankenship loses, of course
