Shock election result in Baton Rouge: Republican upsets 2 term incumbent Democrat in mayor's race

Soon, everybody will be getting exactly what they've asked for. Good luck with that, people.

god save the rest of us.

Just the beginning. Expect more red wins in blue cities.

It's no shock: people of color nationwide have made disastrous voting choices this year. They'll soon see the horrific error of their ways.

r3 Communities of color are disproportionately impacted by violent crime. This man made that his campaign focus. A lot of voters in these communities see the Democrats as weak on crime and they're tired. I don't think high-earning, White liberal elites, who mostly vote Democrat, will be able to win those voters back by ignoring that. It's extremely important to those who have lived in these areas and personally been affected by this oversight.

This was from 3 years ago in MN. Communities of color can't afford a weak on crime leader. And if they perceive the current leader to be exactly that, they will choose the opponent if for no other reason than to try something new in hopes of things changing for the better. That's what happens when you feel like you have nothing else to lose.
