To be more precise
All of my grandparents, great-grandparents, etc. have been Democrats as far back as I know.
My aunt is Republican, but all of her brothers and sisters have been lifelong Democrats.
So I'd say probably
even though my family votes Republican now
And we were actually involved in getting Catholics in southern Louisiana to vote Republican, too, but that was after Long died I think.
do you know much about Long
that documentary is pretty interesting
Not really.
My Grandma knows the saying "chicken in every pot" but she and grandpa weren't born yet in his time.
If Grandpa & Grandma on my dad's side were alive in the 30s, I think they were serious union people, so they'd probably support Long.
Not sure about my paternal great-grandparents though; they actually owned businesses.
But my mom's side of the family has been in business since the 19th century or earlier
And they were Democrats, so it's not unrealistic to say that dad's side of the family would be pro-Long too.
The guy was governor and senator at the same time
He had control over everything
Basically the dictator of Louisiana
No other politician has ever had so much control over one state
Basically was the Mussolini of Louisiana
Indeed.
He wasn't actually Senator while being Governor though.
He just effectively continued to rule the state.
Actually @Julien Blanc
If you thought Huey Long was interesting/good
You should look up Leander Perez.
<@&414673861280399391> What do you think our chances are of unseating John Bel Edwards next year ?

He's almost Baker-tier.
Like a conservative Phil Scott
But he has raised taxes, and in many ways hurt our economy.
John Kennedy and Steve Scalise are the only two who I think could defeat him.
His increases to welfare will probably save him though.
I think Billy Nungesser could do it too, but I'm biased.
I have to say I don't hate jon bel...
Prolife progun not illuminati...
Scalise is a superhero
We need him in Washington
Scalise is great.
Jindal is a creep.
The main thing with John Bel Edwards is that even though he's bad, he's not so bad he's really going to remove himself from office. He raised taxes and welfare, but not enough to really agitate everyone.
It was annoying when I had to pay taxes on my phone bill though.
