Let's Go(,) Brandon!: 2023 Mississippi gubernatorial election
Let's Go(,) Brandon!

The 2023 Mississippi gubernatorial election took place on November 7, 2023, to choose the next Governor of Mississippi. Primary elections occurred on August 3, 2023, while runoff elections were held on August 25, 2023. The Democratic Party nominated Public Services Commissioner Brandon Presley against minor opposition, while the Republican Party renominated incumbent governor Tate Reeves after a contested runoff against former representative Steven Palazzo.

The campaign focused primarily on the ongoing Jackson water crisis. Presley lambasted Reeve's response to the crisis as incompetent, pointing to skyrocketing water rates and water rationing measures. Reeves would commit a major gaffe when he blamed "those Jackson urban people" for causing the crisis, a remark many Democrats castigated as racist. Reeves would rectify his comment as being directed towards federal government officials advising the city, but his general attitude towards the crisis was viewed as uncaring, which was extremely unpopular with voters.

The results were a major upset from historical expectations, with Presley winning by 33,127 votes (or about 3.4% out of over 974 thousand votes cast) and becoming the first Democrat to sit in the Governor's Mansion in 24 years. Among other factors, the results of the election were commonly attributed to extremely high turnout in Jackson and the Democratic nominee's "populist progressive" agenda, which resonated with voters in the Mississippi Delta and low-turnout voters in general, as well as incumbent governor Reeves' poor reputation in the state, stemming from a reputation of corruption and fund misuse in addition to the dominating water crisis.

This election is considered by political historians to be the beginning of the Democratic Party's "Second Southern Strategy", as well as the beginning of a period of Democratic dominance in Mississippi.

Nadir: TIME Persons of the Year
TIME Persons of the Year, 2036-present

  • 2036: Bruce Wayne, President-elect of the United States
    "Man of the Hour"
    • "Not just the first openly-gay man to be elected president, the former Governor of Illinois seems to be the torchbearer for a new era of politics. His bellicose style, ardent public following, and effective use of local grassroots machines are seen by many to be the culmination of the modern 'progressive revolution', and his full-throated embrace of transformative policies like urban agricultural reform and mandatory union membership demonstrates the sheer scale of evolution of the modern Democratic Party. Like the last non-incumbent Democrat to win a presidential race, Wayne faces a nation deeply divided: even now, the incumbent president screams of fraud and far-right activists declare an overturning of democracy to be the only way to 'save America' ... "

  • 2037: Paul Ziemiak, Convenor of the European Constitutional Convention and President of the European Commission
    "Father of Elysium"
    • "While the European Union has long been the 'third power' of the world alongside America and China, the stars of the two leading superpowers have both dimmed - America by reactionary insurgencies, and China by years of demographic strain. According to many - not least of all Paul Ziemak - this vacuum can, and must, be filled by a united Europe as a bulwark against revanchist regimes, terror groups and natural crises alike ... "

  • 2038: The Bauhinia Movement and its predecessor movements (Yellow Umbrella protests, Anti-ELAB protests, 4TSC demonstrations, Curriculum protests)
    "An Indomitable Cause"
    • "While many in the west had thought democracy in Hong Kong dead, the protestors of the Bauhinia Uprising proved them wrong - whether through the megaphone and (blank) placard like the students enraged at the internment of a university professor, the rifle and grenade like the freedom fighters in internment camps, or subterfuge like the handful of principled bureaucrats, the year of 2038 - to Hong Kong's 6-million-strong population - has been a year of long-awaited mass movement ... "

  • 2039: Brace Belden, Leader of the John Brown Brigade and U.S. Representative from California
    "The Red Napoleon"
    • "First rising to prominence by volunteering with the YPG, the union activist, 'dirtbag leftist' and leftist idol has been instrumental to the success of a series of pro-democracy uprisings across the globe. Belden - a committed democratic socialist - has long been a symbol of ridicule by the American establishment, but his efforts to relieve human rights crises and support pro-democracy forces both at home and abroad have won him praise, a Presidential Medal of Freedom, and perhaps most importantly, a position within the political mainstream ... "

  • 2040: Zach Reitano, CEO of Icarus Technologies, Inc. and President of the Samaritan Foundation
    "Will Hindsight Be 20-40?"
    • "Many '40 Under 40' names flame out in their later years, content with simply making piles and piles of money and less with visionary ventures. This is where Reitano differs from his contemporaries: his first act at Ro defined him as a financial player, but his second and third acts - reviving the private spaceflight industry at Icarus Technologies and working with the Samaritan Fund to support reconstruction efforts in the ruined Gulf States - seem less like a series of lucky decisions and more the fruits of a decades-long effort to change the world ... "

  • 2041: Mauricio Domingo Abella, Pope Gregory XVII of the Roman Catholic Church
    "Pope For The New Era"
    • "Pope Leo's sudden death shocked the world and shook the Vatican to its core; now, the first Pope from Asia in the long history of the Catholic Church faces an ardous task of leading the traditionalist institution into the modern age, as well as widespread criticism of the church's official condemnation of transgenderism, sealing the reexposed cracks within the Vatican, and scrutiny over his ties to the Duterte military junta in the early 2030s ... "

  • 2042: Zhao Luihai, General Secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and President of the People's Republic of China
    "The Dragon Rises ... Again"
    • "In stark contrast to the likes of Hu Jintao, Ding Xuexiang, and the revolving-door of leaders during the Chinese Winter, his first appearance after emerging from the fractious 24th party congress has been dominated by a new kind of leadership: Zhao has engaged with the public across China's provinces, liberalized a series of laws controlling freedom of expression, greenlit pushes for local democracy, and met with leaders in still-disputed Hong Kong. Time will tell whether Zhao's leadership is a turning point for a more open, freer, compassionate People's Republic of China than that of Xi Jinping ... "

He's better than just a liberal - if you start watching him as a liberal, you're like "oh, another milquetoast lib commentator"

Then three episodes in you go "oh shit, I'm a leftie now"

hence why he's a based individual. my moms is a faithful viewer of Oliver and u can literally watch his disillusion with his previous moderately liberal views happen in real time.
