Granted, we lost badly Tuesday. However, it must be remembered that both Sears in Virginia and Ciatrelli in New Jersey ran not as MAGA but as moderates. Both underperformed Trump by 10 percentage points. If you look at pro-Trump counties, the turnout drop was worse there than in pro-Kamala counties. Compare deep red Ocean County, NJ with super blue Hudson County, NJ.
New York City was a lost cause but Trump was critical of the Republican (Sliwa) in the mayor's race even though he was more MAGA than Sears and Ciatrelli. The ground game by the GOP even in purple states like Pennsylvania and red states like Mississippi was poor, with little contact with potential voters. Additionally, don't discount fraud in the urban counties of New Jersey, Northern Virginia, Richmond and the Hampton Roads area. The Democrats may have had a win in the two East Coast states but wanted to run up the score as some sports coaches will, to add humiliation to defeat.
When you have this big a loss in professional or college sports, the coach is fired. President Trump must assure that competent people run the Republican National Committee and their counterparts at the state level.
First, you never mentioned “The Great Replacement Theory”.
The democrats accelerated that program on steroids by importing between 10 and 20 illegal aliens (some say the number is higher) under Biden. These were not the doctors, nurses, teachers, engineers, scientists, etc. from many third world countries—they were the unskilled and the uneducated. The democrats were playing the long game here—knowing that there will also be an even larger number of illegals through chain migration of relatives.
They have banked millions and millions of future democrat votes with this outrage. Trump will only be able to deport a small percentage, maybe a couple million at most— as the democrats will fight tooth and nail (with federal judges on their team) to minimize deportations.
As an anecdotal example, you mentioned 1964. The Replacement Theory has already achieved its goal in CA—as when Reagan was elected Governor in the 60s, CA was over 90% white, and now its less than 50%.
Second, the muslim population is increasing at a higher rate than other demographic group in this country—as their birth rate is the highest of any group. They now have NYC, with Minneapolis, Detroit, and Seattle next in line, and Portland is in the on deck circle with a couple other cities (not to mention what is happening as we speak in Europe with its muslim problem). This is another aspect of my first point above.
To sum up, this is an entirely different country than the two examples you cited in 1964, and especially 1936, so I don’t think anything that far back can be fairly used for comparison purposes.
Anyway, thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciated your post—just trying to expand on it here, and put it in perspective
