A Republican Victory Could Drive the Left to Bedlam
The American Spectator ^ | November 01, 2026 | Lou Aguilar

Posted on 11/02/2026 11:26:37 AM PST by Red Badger

In 18th century London, the Bethlehem Royal Hospital, better known as Bedlam, was a popular attraction. Visitors paid a penny to walk the halls staring at, and often taunting, the inmates. They found entertainment in watching powerless beings manifest their madness, some in a hostile manner. American patriots may soon have a similar experience, absent the spectatorial cruelty.

There are countless reasons for voting red down the line on Tuesday, starting with saving the country from people who despise it and the values that built it. But there’s a less noble yet no less satisfying reason. If the Republicans hold both houses of Congress and win some governorships, Leftists won’t be able to handle it. They will actually go berserk. And that will be amusing to see, with the proper safeguards such as the cell bars at Bedlam.

But if they lose on Tuesday … and the GOP keeps the Senate and House — it will not only be great news for America, it will be bedlam for Democrats.

Because the danger liberals pose in their lunacy is quite real. It almost killed Donald Trump, killed Charlie Kirk, and wants to kill all who supported both. You need only watch the video of Isabela Lemgruber, 19, at a University of Texas at San Antonio Turning Point USA event with her feminist-mandated oversize glasses reading a poem she wrote celebrating Charlie’s assassination:

“The flags were hung proudly/The memes all on deck/As we solemnly remembered/A shot to the neck. The podcast grew weary/For tomorrow, dear friends, is the great Kirkversary. That’s all,” Lemgruber added, smiling smugly. “Are you happy with yourself now?” event speaker Christian Collins asked her. “Baby, I’m thrilled,” she preened, adding, “You’re brave or being out here, you know, no protection, no nothing, no like neck brace …”

It wouldn’t be much of a drive. Their lunatic fringe has become their core.

If the Left doesn’t get full control of Congress they will go absolutely bonkers. The Antifas and BLMs will go berserk in the streets and start burning everything in their path. They will head for the residential areas this time and leave the business districts alone................

Anyone who doesn’t have any guns or ammo needs to stock up on both and learn how to use them.

Yes they are pretty damn bad but the problem is Republicans stand up to them very little. They’ve created this mythology that conservatives are evil meanwhile we’ve allowed them to get away with horrible excesses.

May this comment age poorly, but I don’t think a GOP victory is in the offing. Nor do I think a blue wave is either.

I still think they are calling it a blue wave so that after Republicans win, they can call out their black shirts to riot and destroy. They will insist that Trump cheated with the help of Elon Musk and all heck will break loose. The media will point to the polls to prove their point. “They couldn’t all be this wrong”, they’ll insist.

Sorry, but they have no off switch. They will keep coming until we have to put them down.

Tuesday night is going to be comedy as one by one we see democrats losing House and Senate seats and governorships across the country.

They will go in with false hopes, and go away as a defeated party and the loser laughingstocks of politics.

whatever God chooses to use to wake the Left up, is fine with me.

I wouldn't waste any time worrying about it.

Bedlam?

I worry it would drive them to violence way beyond what we've seen so far. They may even have contingency plans.

Your house could be one they torch. If You don't care about other property destruction then I think I understand.

Have you ever had a home invasion? I have had one.

I think what he meant was that Republicans won’t win, therefore Ds won’t go crazy because they lost.

They won’t get far in this residential neighborhood, I can tell you that.

No bag limit.
