Republicans not named Donald Trump actually did surprisingly well this election.
If you go lurk over at Democratic Underground, you'll see that they're despondent. This was not the blue wave they expected. They can't explain the Republican gains in the House and in state legislatures. They're worried over the inroads Trump made among minority voters. They're not optimistic to win in the senate run-offs in Georgia. They're terrified of redistrictings.
Here's the future: The GOP fights like hell to win in Georgia. We flip the House in '22. Continue to make gains in state legislatures where Republicans grow the spine they'll need to put laws in place to protect voter integrity, laws that should've been put in place a long time ago.
Biden will be one and done. There will be no Green New Deal, no gun control, no packing the courts, no DC or Puerto Rican statehood. He'll get nothing accomplished. This election was actually devastating to Democrats.
in 2024 we run a young, focused, and disciplined MAGA candidate, someone like Ron DeSantis. We can win again.
Bless you. Why can’t we have more people like you on current Free Republic. It’s wierd- I’m as much of a Trump voter & defender as any of them- but I don’t have my head up Trumps butt & I don’t see him as a last hope. His issues were great, his fighting spirit & patriotism were amazing. But he had flaws & downsides too. We did pretty farking amazing this election: house, Senate, redistricting, state legislatures, minorities & 75 million votes for our president. Even in getting fewer votes than Biden, we almost won the presidency during a pandemic & hiccuping economy that we were being told we would lose by double digit percentages 😉
