Trump is clearly in control and the left is desperate to change the narrative, and manipulate the public. They are resorting to the same old playbook that has worked for decades, but its not likely to work this time.
When you demonstrated yourself 100% in the pocket of the DNC during the 2024 election, there is no reason to play nice with you now.
The better news is that they seem utterly incapable of changing a single thing about their platform or their ideology or their divisive approach... as any change would be an admission that they were wrong, and their oceans-deep sanctimony could never allow that to happen.
2026 and 2028 and 2030 and 2032 could be a massive opportunity for us to clean out the Old Guard GOP, and get TRUE Limited Government Constitutionalists in their place.
The democrat party and the media told us Joe Biden was at the top of his game.
Once again, they are counting on their far-left propaganda “media” to pull their chestnuts out of the fire. It worked so well with the Jamaican and the Minniesoooooda freak that they worked so hard at they to get elected that they’re going to try to make it happen again. Americans aren’t falling for the crap spewed by the chimpanzees in the “media”. With the far-left media so far out of control and lying through their teeth, where are their fart checkers?
Yeah, the democrats are out there lying their arses off. Trump has been actually at the helm only 8 whole days and all at once, he is why food prices are high, and he is why drug prices are high, and supposedly Trump wants that if you listen to them.
Does the GOP ever come out in vicious mode and fight back at the lies these vermin democrats spin?
2026 will be interesting, with the slimmest majorities in the house, and the historical patterns, and Trump not being directly on the ballot odd the GOP keep the house are low.
The Senate is probably safe, the GOP may lose some seats, we shall see.
It will be interesting to see how the next 2 years goes. Clearly the establishment media’s influence is waining, but that doesn’t mean the left won’t adjust.
So far, Trump on the ballot is a huge net win for the GOP as he almost always outperforms the GOP as a whole and brings in voters they just can’t. When he’s not on the ballot they do worse.
It will be interesting to see how 2026 plays out. Currently Trump is more popular than he’s ever been, at least in opinion polling since becoming President in 2017. The false veneer the establishment media has been keeping in place to protect and project the far left world view as the majority has fell away, and fell away quickly so it will be interesting to see where things stand in 2026.
Trump and MAGA have successfully removed many Uniparty/Establishment hacks, but don’t kid yourself, there are a lot left.. its unlikely they will all get purged in 1 or 2 cycles. Political reality is, there will be some of them around for a long long long time to come no matter how popular Trump or MAGA are.
I am excited and intrigued to see how 2026 is going to play out. Trump currently is riding high, the left is in complete disarray.. but don’t think they won’t regroup. Also don’t kid yourself, there will be mistakes... its only a matter of time before a US Citizen gets caught up in a raid, or some other thing.. you can’t do anything at this scale and not have mistakes happen... the question is really how the Public will react to it.
So far though, the shift in the public is huge, and if Trump is able to keep that momentum and support, 2026 certainly could break the historical trends. We will see.
They will have plenty of help from weak Republicans.
Keep going. No huddle offense. Be in control of the tempo. Keep their attorneys responding to last month’s initiatives while you’re throwing out today’s actions.
Think like George Patton.
Change “the” narrative? There are seventeen narratives happening at once.
They can’t keep up.
Genius strategy by Trump.
This is not to impugn your analysis, but it would be wonderful if political analysis could include the obvious presence of fraud in American elections. Some states are doing more than others to address it, or have entrenched, already existing fraud (like Georgia) that may be impossible to overcome.
Trump will not be on the ballot in 2026. That will probably restore fraud to its rightful place as more of a decider of elections in the US. However, Trump seems to be working nationally, at least in one area so far, to combat it.
Thanks for your terrific work.
Trump needs to put himself on the ballot.
He should trumpet every initiative--as he is already doing. Next, he should hold an oval office address frequently to highlight the successes--especially the big ones on immigration and the economy. Make it very clear that this only continues if people send him a Congress he can work with.
Nationalize it. Make it about continuing the MAGA agenda by highlighting the improvements. Draw a sharp contrast to the Democrat agenda and their failures.
Exactly.
Yes, some states have done more to curtail fraud than others.
The problem with alleging that Republicans lost GA say in 2022 simply because of fraud, is that folks like Kemp was re-elected comfortably.
I am not saying fraud does not exist, and I am not saying fraud didn’t happen in 2020, but when, the right just says, Fraud is why Walker lost the Senate... without hard evidence, its hard to sell it outside of the far right, because the obvious response is, well if fraud is why Walker lost, why did Kemp, another republican, win huge?
Honestly the one state that worried me in 2024, based on what I saw going on in 2020, was PA. This is a state that did NOTHING to even look into any allegations of malfeasance in 2020. If there was a state where fraud could have taken it away from Trump in 24, PA was the one that I had concerns about. (No, not because of the 2022 election of Fetterman, honestly anyone who thought OZ had a prayer of winning that election is just IMHO just utterly ignorant of PA politics as a whole. I know it was a popular mantra on this site, to claim Fetterman won because of Fraud, but reality was, OZ was a utterly terrible candidate, absolutely wrong fit for PA in a statewide race, let alone trying to carpet bag himself in... and as much as people on this site didn’t want to hear it, Fetterman, is very competent and popular politician... He understands his electorate and like it or not, short of a huge sea change, he will be the Sr Senator for PA for a long long time to come.)
WI did do a lot, though the press ignored it, to address fraud and other things after 2020... MI not so much.
We will see what happens in 2026, fraud always happens, the question is the scope and scale. It will be interesting to see if Ossoff can hold on, it was a squeaker for him in 2020, but now he is an incumbent, so with that comes a few points generally in the polls automatically. Currently the race is viewed as a toss up, and the GOP I don’t think even has anyone officially named as a candidate, though there is discussion of Kemp possibly running.
We will see.
2020 there was massive fraud all over the place, and BOTH parties (at least the establishment class of both parties) wanted Trump gone, so they were happy to turn a blind eye to it. You don’t have that dynamic in 2026, so we will see what happens.
For example, from my local Propaganda News Media Channel:
The Doomsday Clock is closer to Midnight Than EVER!
They’re serious this time.
Chyna Joe and the Side Ho are gone, Bath House has lost his mojo, not many people left to believe the Hollywood Democrat Propaganda Complex, and most of all, Daddy’s home.
Time to roll out the doom and gloom and funeral-like expressions.
I told ‘em to piss off.

Why can’t he hold rallys? He’s good at it.
Great suggestions! Also, Trump needs to begin now to groom a successor, be it JD or whoever... steal a march on these communists, speaking, like Ronaldus Maximus, directly to the people through his bully pulpit...we love that!
What needs to happen in 2025-26, is to investigate vote fraud in 2020 and 2024, with an eye to dismantling the Democrat fraud machine as much as possible for 2026 and 2028.
Republicans need to field good, competent candidates for every seat.
Yes. Exactly. Think like George Patton. Hit them. And while they have that dazed look on their face, hit them again. As they stumble and stagger, hit them again.
Be like Mike Tyson in the first round of an overmatched opponent.
Be like Lombardi’s Green Bay Packers running the Packer Sweep again. And again. And again. And as the opponent, between plays lines up, hands on hips, exhausted, looking hurt and confused, do it yet again.
They will probably get their feet under them at some point, but this will buy time. It would be great if it brought about two years, but it will probably be less. But I want to see how much can get done in that time.
It is a certainty that the putrid Leftists are having heated meetings on how to respond, and every day, another thunderbolt comes down from the sky and starts another wildfire in their forest of un-American Leftist policies.
