"Mississippi has not voted Democratic since 1976. Since that time, Republicans have dominated the state's political elections, and so Trump was widely expected to win the election."
"Aside from 1964, California was a reliably Republican state in every presidential election until 1992, when it was carried by Bill Clinton. The state has voted Democrat in every presidential election since 1992, usually by lopsided margins."
" West Virginia was once a solidly Democratic state; it voted Democratic in every election from 1932 to 1996, except for the Republican landslides of 1956, 1972, and 1984. However, in recent years it has drifted to becoming solidly Republican, and has stayed that way since it was won by George W. Bush in 2000."
Mississippi has been Republican for a while longer than California Democratic, and West Virginia changed to Republican not that much longer after California switched.
That was probably the first time Republicans controlled all 3 branches of Miss's state government.
Does anybody believe Miss is worse today than it was when Democrats controlled the state government.
the reason California is overwhelmingly Democrat today is poor legal and illegal immigrants flooding in.
this is why liberals love open borders so much...they want to transform the electorate to Californicate the entire country so Democrats are a Forever Party.

Well, if anyone would know about a "disgrace to our country" it would be Trump. He's the definition of the phrase.
disgrace is San Francisco, Detroit, Chicago, Baltimore etc. in addition to democrat legislators who nurture and maintain those inhumane embarrassments.
Trump is not an embarrassment.
J casto, AOC, and many of the dem prez candidates are an embarrassment.

Well, going by your link, Dems had full control (Gov, House, Senate) for four total years, Republicans have had total control for six total years (a streak that continues to this day), so they’ve had control longer and if things had vastly improved, we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation.

I believe Democrats had control of at least 2 of the 3 until 2012. 2012 may have been the first time Republicans ever had all 3 branches.
The same thing is true in other southern states. Republicans in SC didn't have the trifecta until the mid 90s and I don't think any sincere person will say that SC has gotten worse since the 90s.
Their chart used to go back to at least 1980. I think they changed it b/c conservatives often link their website to make the the case against the Big Switch political theory advanced by leftists.
It shouldn't have taken until 2012 for a big switch based on racism to happen.
So hard to blame anything bad in Miss on Republicans.
When it had segregation it was run by Democrats who had the trifecta.

My wife and I had the wonderful opportunity to visit South Africa, and I'll never forget our guide explaining to me that he was doing everything he could to get his daughter admitted to a university in California. Not easy for a South African. Part of his reasoning was that his daughter could never achieve her potential where sexism was such a problem in Africa, even for a white woman.
Too bad so many Americans take so many of our most fundamental advantages for granted, to understand how California is the envy of not only the third world but the modern world too, including much of America. Advantages that lots of less fortunate people would "kill" to make possible for their family...

I don’t know why things changed on the link you posted, that’s out of my purview. The point stands though, the last six (continuing) years have been under full Republican leadership, and things look exactly the same to me, and I’ve been there this year. You can’t give the Republicans a pass on how things are while towing the “bad Democrats” line, I know you want to, but to do so would be extremely disingenuous.
