The ‘Land Mass’ Times: Republicans, Flags, and Hurricanes

It that time again for your local WASP to venture back into the fray of modern commentary and borderline journalism, delivering that dose of anti-equality you know and love. While a number of Southern states would certainly provide us with examples of the incompetence of the Party of Lincoln and the insanity of modern media, no one does it better than the Magnolia State, also known as the Land Mass between Louisiana and Alabama.

To kick this off, I would like to begin by saying the Southern Republicans are doomed. They are blithering incompetents or outright communist sympathizers masquerading as opposition. Generally speaking, the Party provides more of a hindrance to the Right than it does in actually opposing the Left. What separates the Democratic Party from the Republican Party is the number of factions. Whereas Democrats have a multitude of factions, the largest being the Hispanic and Black caucuses, there also consists a number of milquetoast whites and communists, all of whom have their on respective representatives. On the other hand, the Republican Party has worked diligently to crush its feuding factions in order to more easily subdue its conservative leanings, a move not made by their Whig predecessors which led to its downfall. What this has generated is a largely divided, factionless party whose days are numbered. Seldom does a party survive stark discontent and feuding between voters and their elected officials. All the major Republican officials lean to the left of their voters.

In Louisiana, the GOP sits atop thin ice as an incumbent Democrat was re-elected, Governor John Bel Edwards, in last year’s state election, oddly enough due to his more conservative stances when compared to his carpetbag, Republican opponents. The previous governor, Bobby Jindal, crippled Louisiana’s GOP due to his utmost ineptitude. In South Carolina, Republican Senator Lindsey Graham stands to possibly, and very likely, lose his seat to Democrat Jaime Harrison. Alongside that, the strongly Republican state legislature under former Governor Nikki Haley unwaveringly, and without hesitation, supported the removal of the Rebel Flag from state capitol grounds. Let us also not forget to mention Virginia has flipped, Florida is straddling the fence, and Texas has already purpled, with areas like Dallas presiding over some bizarrely left-wing court rulings and having a weak GOP governor. Say it with me, “the GOP is collapsing in Dixie.” The Party hangs on by a thread only because of an obnoxiously devoted voter base of the elderly who have historically neglected party primaries in favor of whoever wins the GOP nomination in the general election.

A key point of the MS GOP’s incompetence exists as the current Mississippi flag debacle. It is of no secret the loudest outcries for the 1894 flag removal came from Republicans, most notably House Speaker Phillip Gunn and Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann. Additionally, the Republican establishment supported the change, including a majority of the GOP in the state legislature, the current chairman of the state GOP, former Governor Haley Barbour, Senator Roger Wicker, and eventually current Governor Tate “Tater Tot” Reeves. This backstabbing act, and subsequent mockery of their own voting constituency, places the MS Republican Party in an unstable position. Jim Hood barely lost to Reeves in last year’s gubernatorial election, and the Democratic Party continues to grow despite its communistic state of psychosis. The flag situation has proved a volatile social issue, and any trip to social media proves the dissatisfaction between voters and their representatives, many calling for a boycott of the GOP. As an interesting side, Mike Espy has closed a wide gap between himself and incumbent Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith in the upcoming senate election in the state.

Lastly, let us discuss hurricane season. The gulf coast is in the middle of it. Not long ago, the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina came and went, and as such, only the memory of New Orleans remains despite Mississippi receiving the worst of the weather. Entire sections of the MS Gulf Coast were totally wiped off the map. To make matters worse, weather stations notoriously had Mississippi simply labeled “Land Mass” on maps. Anyhow, the current wave of hurricanes has weather studios carrying on with their regular shenanigans. One such example manifested as a station forgetting how large Mississippi is and gave Alabama to it. It’s odd that all these places, which denounce the 1894 MS Flag, could not otherwise be bothered to know anything else about the state.

That’s all for now. I am sure there will be more news to report and analyze later. I am interested in an irregular series or style of writing like “The ‘Land Mass’ Times.” Be sure to comment below on your thoughts.

  1. In “modern” Amerikwa Dixie is just a land mass, an easy picking orchard for the Republicucks.

  2. Being a life-long Mississippian, I found this an interesting essay. A Miss. State football player really got the “ball ” rolling on flag change, declaring he was not playing ball this year if the flag was not changed. Boy, did this ever get the attention of the spineless politicians. In just a matter of days, the deed was done. They will likely remove the statue of MSU’s first president, CSA General Stephen D. Lee very soon, and replace it with a statue of Very Important Football Player Kylin Hill.
