This is the first time they put it into practice and were rewarded for it (murdering Charlie Kirk and Jay Jones getting more support after the leaks where it said he wanted to murder Republican babies)
you think the Jews alone swung it?
It's mostly posters who only come here during elections. The outcomes tonight were about as expected. R's were hoping for UPSETS, not wins in swing elections and most people who aren't just trolling seem to know that.
They could at least try running candidates with some sort of message other than, "I'm a black female Republican!" but that's too much to ask, I guess.
Yeah, this is about what I was expecting, personally. This is part of the natural push and pull of our nation's politics. I fully expect the Dems to get a house majority in the mid-terms too, honestly, the GOP lead is too small for them not to, IMO.
Do the deportations, and crack downs on H-1bs mean nothing to anyone in this thread? 2 million illegals are already gone.
I have yet to see a convincing argument to why the gop would win the midterms aside from
Neoconservatism's first heyday was the 1970s. The second big resurgence was after 9/11. Reagan wasn't President either time.

Agreed 100%. Giving a shit about optics when the other side doesn't AND never is penalized for it is how you lose and eat shit constantly. Lets not go back to "principled" conservatism please.
I'm waiting on the redistricting court case to settle before giving a definitive prediction on the mid-term, but for this race... yeah, not sure what everyone was expecting.
The VA GOP has been openly fighting its own voters for about 10 years now, doing everything it can to prevent the voters from moving the party to the right. They ran the most useless, pointless candidate they could find as a giant fuck you to their base, who is predominantly rural. They don't read this as a big defeat, they read this as them having to take extreme measures (running a born loser) to neutralize their base.
Exactly. I lived in VA immediately post 9/11 for a few years, I cannot stress how much NoVA fags were hated by actual Virginians, but because commuting two-hours to DC each way every day was acceptable to people, the swamp was just constantly spreading throughout the state. Also the state GOP have always been borderline useless. Yes, the Harlem Globetrotters beat the Washington Generals, everyone is very shocked.
I dunno, ask Kentucky.
Kentucky I think it’s ideological capture by lolberts and neocons
It's worse on X. But there, I suspect, it's an act for numbers. There's only a few pundits etc who are like "yeah no shit." Everyone else is all "OMG LOOK WE NEED TO RALLY FOR 26 THIS IS IT GUYS!" None of this was shocking.
That's nice and all, but it's not enough to overcome the GOP's problem. Namely, they only have a handful of seats over the Dems in the house. A pretty standard mid-term reversal gives the Dems a house majority fairly easily, given that.
