In middle school there were all these cheeky euphemisms for menstrual cycles. You might say that Aunt Flo was visiting, or that the crimson tide was coming in, or that you were riding the crimson wave. God forbid you called your period what it was, or said anything that could make boys aware that you had a body to tend.
I was thinking of this, these euphemisms and this body apologia, late into the night of the midterm elections Tuesday. TV pundits remarked with apparent shock that the anticipated “red wave” — the Republican influx expected to overturn control of the House and the Senate — didn’t seem to be happening. Yes, Democrats looked poised to lose the House, but the margins weren’t nearly as dire as prognosticators had warned. They appeared poised to hang on to the governorships in Michigan and Wisconsin and Kansas and Pennsylvania, and they’d picked up a crucial Senate seat in Pennsylvania. Why was this so? Weren’t voters angry about inflation? The economy? Where was the red wave?
Buddy, it was right in front of you. The red wave rolled in with Aunt Flo on a longboard.
We’re going to be dissecting the midterm results for the next several days, breaking down polling into demographic bites. But this is one way to read what happened: The midterms were about abortion, and about women tired of having to fight for their own bodies. They were about this resolutely and emphatically, gas prices be damned.
The midterm results were about women, and the people who care about them, turning up at the polls and saying: No. No, we do not believe that reproductive issues can wait until later. No, we are not willing to compromise our rights and our personhood. No, we will not vote for an

Look at 18-35 women. The Republicans ignored the issue but this is what won many races and got many more within the reach of their fraud.
The libtard author can't get enough of herself and 'living her best life'. Is it any wonder she cares not for the innocent unborn?
I knew that this was going to be their bull$hit excuse WEEKS before the election for the Dem pad. Is there ANY issue NOT associated with abortion?
Allowing women the right to. vote was a mistake
Abortion and student loan payoffs were a lot bigger factors than I expected. Those got people to the polls who probably wouldn’t have voted without them.
Surprised at what passed in Montana. Infanticide
There are many one issue abortion voters on the other side who might have stayed home since Roe v Wade was history.
Women who claim a right to murder babies are unworthy of a right to vote.
I’ll take the political hit in order to save babies lives. I will sleep with a clear conscience tonight not advocating for a pro-abortion platform for the GOP.
SCOTUS just had to do it right before the election...
To me, American corruption and evil now far, far outweighs any virtue in the country or it’s history (that country of our history simply doesn’t exist any longer).
As far as I care, this country can simply go to Hell, the sooner it is gone forever, the better.
The American people are will to take anything…open borders, fentanyl, crime - even against themselves - emptying the jails, $10 foe a dozen eggs, unaffordable gas, joblessness, cheating in elections - anything at all…as long as you let them kill their children, all is good.
That’s America. That’s what the American people want. Why would anyone with any sense at all want this nation to survive?
So, torturing infants in the womb is a winning issue?
Amazing a group of 18-35 year old whores who don’t possess enough responsibility to keep their knees together get to decide the direction of this country.
Don’t worry “ladies” eternity is waiting for you. It just pisses me off you are dragging everyone else with you. Irresponsible and Selfish, one HELL of a deadly combination.
It wasn’t SCOTUS. It was Lindsay Graham threatening a nationwide abortion ban.
Ironic that these women, so concerned about their looks, dress and appearance have their moral fiber rotting and are decaying from within. Not only are they celebratory about the unrestrained killing of pre born human life but they are enthusiastic about the legalization of marijuana and hallucinatory drugs. A civilization with such values will not last long.
Beautiful
Women are being treated like dirt by the woke left
They will put up with anything as long as they have right to abort
There must have been a good reason why some states didn’t allow women to vote.
Nope too narrow
It was single women defending the perks and benefits of gynosociety to women.
If abortion is murder, why shouldn’t there be a nationwide ban?
