Democrats captured only 20 percent of the vote in the lieutenant governor race, 30 percent in the secretary of state race, 30 percent in the attorney general race, and 32 percent in the treasurer race.
The truth is that low-turnout races are what wave elections are made of, and Louisiana's electorate Saturday night was probably the best-informed and smartest the state has seen because there wasn't a massive amount of out-of-state money poured into the fray.
For three years, state Rep. Blake Miguez, head of the House Republican delegation and a founding member of the Louisiana Freedom Caucus, brought that bill only to see Edwards and his flunkies in the legislature kill it either with a veto or parliamentary skullduggery.
There will be just one white Democrat left in the state Senate and, conceivably, only three in the House.
State Democrat Party Chair Katie Bernhardt is almost certainly going to be ousted at that party's next meeting, and word has it that there is a bloc of Democratic Socialists of America members who will make a strong run at a takeover - which would absolutely end that party's relevance in the Bayou State.
So far it's a wipeout both of Democrats and the "Moderate" Republicans, an earthquake of such magnitude that informed observers are pointing to a brand new era of governance in Louisiana and a long-overdue end to Huey Long's populist-socialist paradigm, which has persisted even as the state has turned red largely because of social issues, wherein its very religious population categorically refuses to accept the woke pieties of today's Democrats.
All of which means Louisiana might finally be joining the ranks of Southern states worthy of participating in the Great Sorting, the massive immigration to red states from the leftist dystopias of California, New York, Illinois, and others.
