@jamellebouie: Midterm Recap Part II: The South Has Something to Say In part II of my midterm recap, we think through the seismic results in Texas and throughout the South in terms of one of the signature political events of the 1990s.
Lifelong Texan here. You are saying what I have, but this is also tied to the school system. The voucher system was decimating schools, which was hurting our most vulnerable. It was a top campaign issue for Gina.

I live in SW Kansas. The backlash here to the ICE raids was intense. And then we went and elected blue all over in our region. Unthinkable 6 months ago

Florida used to be a swing state; I remember Bush V Gore!

Kavanaugh stops needs to be look at with the same exact eyes that Dred Scott was. Codified racism.

Have you ever had a conversation with the amazing Heather Cox Richardson? I would love to hear what the discussion that would take place.

Jamelle, thank you so much for your videos. You’re one of my most trusted, entertaining, and informative voices on my social media.

Lifelong Texan and Democrat here. Anecdotally, the things that were swing issues for Republicans in this most recent election: 1. The full throated gutting of public school schools by Greg Abbott, 2. The extremely visible support of data centers in Texas by Greg Abbott. 3. Gas prices — it will be interesting to see how subsequent polling bears out, but the machismo culture of immigrant communities still seems to pull towards Donald Trump. I have worked as a volunteer with immigrants rights organization since 2016 and anecdotally have really not seen much more care or compassion for undocumented people despite the literal war crimes that ICE is committing, even by others in the Hispanic and Latino communities.

Specific to Texas, it also didn’t hurt that Paxton and Bo French were both some of the least appealing candidates they could’ve gone with.

I grew up outside of LA and I’ve seen so many jaws drop when I tell more recent transplants that the CA I grew up in was Reagan country.

in the Clint Eastwood movie In The Line Of Fire (1993), the climax takes place at a fundraiser dinner that the president can't cancel because it's in the crucial battleground state of California

1994 was the year I graduated from high school in San Diego, and Pete Wilson & Prop 187 are big reasons why I’m way over on the left now.

Always appreciate how historically rooted your analysis is even as so much of this feels unprecedented in our lifetimes

I would add Arizona's recent history with SB1070 and Sheriff Joe Arpaio. Arizona has turned pretty blue since then.

Data centers seem to be another factor in the seismic shift of the electorate.

Thank for the video, showing the people that these tactics have been used again and again and do lead to consequences. Political rules still exist.

I was in high school when they did the walk-outs over Prop. 187. But I was homeschooled, and I didn’t get to walk out of shyt. 😞
