wow, that's certainly silly
Indeed.
Feels like this state is the only one without any elections right now and yet here I am
well, it's good of you to bring up your extensive political knowledge, promoting you to admin
also, I see you're an admin of that forum - ekunia
it seems like more of a blog though
how many other users are on it
Basically
It's been dead for too long.
So, do you guys think John Bel Edwards will lose his next re-election bid?
Yep.
so what's he unpopular for
I think the trend of democratic governors in LA only continued because of David Duke running back in the '90s, right?
Doubtful.
David Duke actually brought Louisiana to the right.
And a lot of mainstream right-wing talking points on race today--most prominently affirmative action--were brought into the national discussion by David Duke.
The majority of white voters supported him, but when I was very young, many Catholics were afraid of the KKK in no small part because of the fact we almost had him as Governor.
That said, the only reason he lost was that he founded a KKK frat in college
Most Catholics were not aware of the fact his "KKKK" admitted Catholic members and many regarded his "White Christian" constituency as including only Protestants.
It's regrettable that Catholics voted for Edwin Edwards, but at the same time, they were afraid that David Duke would kill them.
"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the state of Louisiana and to the motto for which it stands: A state, under God, united in purpose and ideals, confident that justice shall prevail for all of those abiding here."
Today I learned that Louisiana has its own Pledge of Allegiance.
