We apparently are not on a roll with some kind of conservative momentum. Leftist Democrats of the worst kind made inroads into political power yesterday.
— NYC elects a radical Muslim. — Virginia threw out all reason and elected radical leftists to the Governorship and Attorney General, who had made violent threats. — Democrats flipped two red seats in MS breaking the Republican supermajority. — in my neck of the woods, Texas senate district 9 is going to a run-off after a DEM bested two Republicans for a plurality of votes.
This was surprising as the polling place I revisited was packed to the gills in an off-off-year election in a conservative area. Overall, there were no spectacular Republican victories to make inroads into Democrat comtrol. I don’t think this bodes ill for the 2026 mid-terms.
Here in Arizona I got an “I voted” sticker.
It was in English and Spanish.
Nope...a wake up call though....It’s all about getting out the vote!! And maybe having decent candidates.
Complacency.
With Trump in office, nobody donated.
These most recent election results are a punch in the gut, for sure.
“I voted” sticker”.
.
I save them, and wear ALL of them to the polls.
:)
The victories were well outside the margin of fraud.
I think the big problem is we have a huge swath of Trump voters, that are just that, Trump voters, if he is on the ballot they vote, if not they stay home. The big problem for 2026 and 2028 is going to trying to figure out how to get these people off the couch and to the polls when Trump is not on the ballot.
Not too worried about it. Truth and noral people tend to prevail, and even whe they don’t, fearlessness attaches to those who kbow where they came from and where they are going.
Too much Free $#!t to the foreign invaders and too many Karens *feeling* the need to take care of the world’s vagabonds.
Very true.
They need to quickly pass a big, fat EXIT tax!
You lose your shit too easy. We’re fine. Blue candidates won in Blue states and cities. It only proves Dems have a pulse which isn’t sayin much.
Do we Reds have to win every election for you to fee warm and fuzzy? Knock it off, act like a man
Trump is cutting-off their COCAINE..
His economic performance has been good for the country but not particularly good for the middle and working class voter.
How quickly they forget how bad they had it, under Briben?
A couple of things happened, the candidates in NJ and Virginia ran traditional Republican races and distanced themselves from the MAGA movement and Trump, Trump was barely involved in either race, when he’s not on the ballot and Republicans run away from him then the marginal Republican voter stays home.
The Dems have a pulse. Who knew
The new standard is voters like free stuff...lots of free stuff... and it is the Economy stupid and Trump doesn’t grasp that idea...
Leftist democrats are still leftist democrats.
And conservatives need to learn to get off their butts and VOTE en mass.
