Not surprisingly white supremacy has won this evening as Cindy Hyde-Smith was declared the winner of the Mississippi senate runoff. As of now the results are saying Cindy has won with 56.1% of the votes and Mike Espy has received a total of 43.8% of the votes.

Even after publicly saying, “If there was a public hanging, I’d be on the front row.” in a video during her campaign run Cindy Hyde-Smith still managed to secure more than enough votes to retain her seat. Recently it was also revealed Hyde-Smith attended a segregated academy in the 70’s where she was a cheerleader.
I guess she still isn’t too much far off from what she used to do. She’s using her platform to cheer on white supremacy and gain their support.
Not to mention that just recently Hate Signs and Nooses were found on the Mississippi State Capitol the day before the runoff election took place.
Before I hear anyone say “more black people needed to get out and vote for Espy”, there are more white people in numbers who will show up and show out to retain whatever power they can when it comes to voting. Even if that power is immoral and keeps everyone from progressing forward with new ideas for improvement.
Let’s not also forget in a last ditch effort to rally up the white supremacists in the state, The Head Cheeto in Charge paid a visit in Mississippi and fired up the Republican base to get them amped up. In a clip he said, “How does he fit in with Mississippi? How does he even fit In?”
It has been reported that Mike Espy has conceded from the race and wished Hyde-Smith prayers as she heads off to Washington D.C. to join up with the Senate. Mike Espy also tweeted some tweets that will help to keep hope alive for potential elections to come in the state of Mississippi.

Although the Democrats have lost another senate seat in congress we still were able to overturn the house and bring in a lot of new people in congress who will hopefully represent what we want to see change in America going forward.
As for the rest of the country a change is coming as more and more people are becoming politically aware and knowledgable of people’s policies and the outcome if they vote a certain way. Now we just have to wait and see what our next hurdle will be.
