Caging the City Birds

If Southerners are to continue to hold statewide sway, we must be willing to evolve our political systems to fit our will. This is especially the case in Georgia and Texas, where more carpetbaggers, Indians, and Central Americans flood into large cities like Dallas and Atlanta. The issue in these states is that large masses of foreigners have made a home in our states and swing them “bluer and bluer” every election cycle. If they manage to win our states over, they will purge our heritage and oppress our people, just as has been done in Virginia. 

Georgia’s history provides a clear system to “Crush the Urbanite” that has been rarely mentioned or talked about. That is the “County Unit System” which was used in Georgia from 1917 to 1962. This system set up a county based electoral college which gave three classifications to Georgia counties with votes going to each. There were urban counties with six votes, towns with three, and rural with two. With a total of 410 votes, the winner of primaries only needed to win 206 of these votes to win the election. Otherwise, it would go to a runoff election between the largest two top contenders. This system helped Georgia ruralites maintain power in the state for several decades and blocked the rise of urbanite Atlanta progressives in 1946, when Talmadge won the majority of votes against his big business, city boy opponent who won the popular vote. 

This system worked to hold back progressives while ensuring small town Southerners largely held the state in their grasp. As stated before, the system helped Tom Watson and the Talmadge political machine maintain Southern traditionalism in the state at a time when Atlanta started fully embracing post-World War 2 liberalism. It should be said this system was challenged, then destroyed, by the Supreme Court. A ruling made more ironic by the fact that the court claimed the County Unit System was protected under states’ rights arguments in the 1940s and 1950s only to flip flop in 1962. They, of course, used their federal logic to somehow justify it. At the time, Georgia had a notorious liar and backstabber, Ernest Vandiver, as governor, who in 1958 had campaigned on the County Unit System and segregation (despite folding on both when push came to shove).

Not to get off topic, but it is well and about time we begin nullifying the rulings of the Supreme Court. Given the pedigree of people like Sotomayer and that not one Protestant Southerner sits on the court, I have no issue with defying these haughty, plutocratic judges. Polling has been increasingly showing that I’m not alone in this sentiment, as the general public is losing respect for the Supreme Court as an institution. Truly the only thing keeping these people in power is compliance from fellow lawyer politicians in the GOP and submissive limp wrists who still want to give the SCOTUS their total submission. 

So, is this plan realistic and how would it work out? For starters, we need to look to see if this plan is even worth the struggle, as it would certainly be pushed back from blue-haired cat moms and transplants. I would say both Texas and Georgia should realistically wait to implement this system until Republican governors have firmly won the 2022 elections. Pushing for it now will likely cause a massive backlash that could help end GOP control of these two states. It’s doubtful, at this point, they could quickly implement the County Unit System before the November elections. Thus, it’s best to wait until 2023 to put this positive election reform into law. However, once it’s implemented it will be almost impossible for Democrats to ever challenge the Republican Party on the state level in Texas and Georgia. I’ve included maps from Twitter showing how these systems would have played out in 2020.

Given Biden failed to pick up any counties in Georgia that weren’t won by Hillary in 2016, it goes to show that transplant Democrats aren’t expanding enough to win outside their handful of dysfunctional cities-counties. Both in Texas and Georgia, there are plenty of rural counties with Southerners opposed to the rising tide of urbanite lunatics. I think given the likelihood of a 2022 “red flood,” not of the communist red variety, that Republicans will likely have the majorities needed to implement these controls (if there’s enough voter support).

This reform isn’t about saving the GOP, as both state parties have largely failed their Southern voter base; rather it is about saving their respective states from becoming progressive-run dystopias. Considering that both state legislatures are run by Republicans – in theory, this is possible to pass. If we are successful, we can at least know Democrats won’t be in charge of two of the largest Deep South states soon. This would also allow Southerners to focus on crushing the remaining neocon politicians on the state level and passing whatever we wish. Furthermore, if implemented it would largely make secession more of a viable and likely outcome for Texas and Georgia.

In this scenario, no one could flippantly say: “Well, demographics show that Texas and Georgia are turning blue anyway. Nothing we can do.” No matter how many foreigners flood into Atlanta, Houston or Dallas, it wouldn’t give them the political edge to oppress our states. Where there’s a will, there’s a way. The County Unit System will work for us, if we have the political will to implement it.
