Overall a Horrible Election Day. What Happened?
Self | Nov 5, 2025 | Fwdude

We apparently are not on a roll with some kind of conservative momentum. Leftist Democrats of the worst kind made inroads into political power yesterday.

— NYC elects a radical Muslim. — Virginia threw out all reason and elected radical leftists to the Governorship and Attorney General, who had made violent threats. — Democrats flipped two red seats in MS breaking the Republican supermajority. — in my neck of the woods, Texas senate district 9 is going to a run-off after a DEM bested two Republicans for a plurality of votes.

This was surprising as the polling place I revisited was packed to the gills in an off-off-year election in a conservative area. Overall, there were no spectacular Republican victories to make inroads into Democrat comtrol. I don’t think this bodes ill for the 2026 mid-terms.

Whatever happened, looks to me like he has a plan.

Heavily Blue states - disappointing
but not totally surprising

The Democrats love ABORTION and LGBTQ+

We keep on fighting...

While this all happened on the East Coast in lefty enclaves, it is indicative of a much larger problem.

Democrat/leftist voters are just fine with endorsing political violence. They will vote for whoever has the D by their name, and will crawl over broken glass to do it. They voted overwhelmingly for a candidate who wished his opponent’s children dead.

So, what’s the answer? The only way forward for us is to stop letting perfection being the enemy of good enough. Staying home and not voting because you only agree with about 60% of a R candidate isn’t going to do anything but get the D elected.

They Ds faced no consequences for their celebration of Charlie Kirk’s murder. They actually blamed it on the assassin being a Republican and got away with it. There was no consequence for the leftist who tried to kill ICE officials and ended up killing illegal immigrants.

The left is facing no consequences. They are emboldened. There’s only one way to resolve this, and we saw this on election day in ‘24: motivating turnout. There were people wearing trash bags on them while voting because the democrats called us trash. My wife, one voting age son, two minor daughters, and I all went to the polls together and prayed together before we went in.

Make no mistake. As soon as the democrats get 51 votes in the Senate, the filibuster is gone. They will pass gun control, increase taxes, spend even more into deficit, allow men in your daughters’ dressing rooms, silence your voice, and on and on.

Scott Pressler has the template. But it does no good if we don’t show up. I am going to get involved in my small county’s Republican Party to start registering voters and motivate turnout. We’re deep red, but the democrats are still working in our county. We can’t take anything for granted.

this may not be the biggest reason, but this is VERY much on the minds of people these days:

Job openings in October slumped to the lowest level since February 2021, Indeed measure shows

We can't expect an R-sweep if the job market continues to cool as it has (and no, this is not necessarily R's fault)

Hello

Are you clueless .

It was all Dem states and Dems won .

You fell for the psych ops from a DEM pollster and Media setting you up
with ridiculous expectation .

A Trump pollster stated it was going to be a Dem election sweep in the NY Post
on Monday .

“The Democrats love ABORTION and LGBTQ+”

The way I see it the mosques in NYC will have “Queers for Palestine” coming daily and they are not going to like it but they will dare not complain. IF they do things will go South quickly.

The real shocker was the 47% vote for a Democrat in my TEXAS Senate 9 district. Of course, Republicans split the vote with 2 candidates, but the Dems only need 3 points to win, and they have massive motivation now.

R voters didn’t bother to vote. Should be a wake up call for the midterms. There is still time to rescue 2026.

I do not belive the vote counts. They don’t make sense.

At all.

If you don’t fix the voting methods you will never have good clean elections.

I am more surprised people think this was going to be different.
Heavy Blue states, off year election, none went for Trump. Not sure why people were invested in this anymore than as a long shot for team red.

This is really a nothing burger though the media will propagandize this as if it is some kind of ground swell. See through the lies, this was expected and is nothing more that status quo.

Can you read?

I said Mississippi’s supermajority legislature fell when two red seat went to Dems.

A super red Texas Senate district is going to a run-off after a Dem got 47% of the vote against two republicans. This should never have happened.

What ever it bodes it was the choice of the voters.
Good or Bad.

Tribal colonies from all over the world have taken over our elections. America is finished. The muzzie attacked America, killed 3000 Americans, destroyed the World Trade Center and that azzhos living here decided to elect them.

The Democrats were motivated to vote. Both Republican gubernatorial candidates trailed Trump’s 2024 performance by 10 percentage points. While New Jersey is blue, it had been trending toward moderation in this decade. Virginia has become South Maryland, a Democrat run one party state. The Trump Administration has triggered AWFUL voters to show up in large numbers. His economic performance has been good for the country but not particularly good for the middle and working class voter.

The plan is to get our election integrity back.
Democrat cities and democrat states can not be trusted not to STEAL to achieve political victories.
I think we saw 2020 again last night only this time the down ticket was the ticket.
