The Democrats can’t let go of the tired and played race card, so my optimism about November is at an all-time high.
Here is a prediction. The GOP holds the House in November, wins Michigan’s Senate seat, and the balance of power doesn’t change much. Don’t bet your house on my prediction, but I feel pretty good about it.
Why do I feel good about it? Because the Democrats are getting crazier by the minute. Let me explain by sharing this from Jamelle Bouie, who I believe used to frequently appear on MSNBC panels, before they changed the name to whatever it is now. Here is Jamelle’s take:
The immediate consequence of the Supreme Court’s decision in Louisiana v. Callais is that Republican-led states in the South can destroy their majority-minority districts and, in turn, deprive their Black residents of federal representation by politicians of their choosing…
Shad White, the Mississippi state auditor, also posted on X: ‘We’re fighting so that Bennie Thompson’ — who represents the state’s 2nd District — ‘and Hakeem Jeffries are not in charge. We’re fighting for a country that is safe, where our taxes don’t go up, where our border is secure.’
To watch this whole spectacle is to put the lie to the idea — seen in the court’s opinion as well as among the court’s apologists — that the South has changed so much since 1965 that a strong Voting Rights Act is no longer necessary.
There you have it. We are still living in 1965, or something like that. I guess that Jamelle sees everything through the race lens. It’s always about black and white rather than character, as someone said in a famous 1963 speech.

It is still going to take organizing to get turnout.
While racist is still popular, fascist is coming on fast. I heard it from democrats three times yesterday in one show.
They’re not getting crazier - they’re just letting their mask slip more and more.
It's because Marxists Democrats realized that, in America, their chosen victims can't be poor oppressed workers. Thanks to capitalism, those darned workers kept making more and more money, and refused to play victim.
So they flipped the script and made their victims black people. That works beautifully because a lot of black people already loved to play the victim card.
So in the new revised Marxist playbook, the evil oppressors are, voilà, white people.
But, oops, since the Marxist Democrat party is made up mostly of white women, they had to further narrow their focus to just white men.
-——The Democrats can’t let go of the tired and played race card-—
The Race Card is existential.
Absent 90% of the Black vote, there is no Democrat Party.
Bad as they are, Blacks must have their asses continuously kissed or the Democrat party simply ceases to exist.
For a Democrat, racism is necessary to exist
Democraps used to at least have some awareness of looking too crazy with their ideologies that they’d attempt to tone it down a little, spin it in a good direction, or just not talk about it.
Now, they are PROUD and LOUD about their insane ideas. I hope they keep it up.
There are huge profits to made in playing the race card.
If MLK’s words about us finally being just human and forgetting about race.
If that happens, the race hustlers lose out big time.
It’s racist to not give blacks special treatment.
In everything.
Very true.
A big problem here is that conservatives are like the old-time minutemen in that once the pressure is off, all they want to do is go back to their farms and get back to their own business, leaving politics alone.
Looks like the dems will blow the election? Good! No need for me to vote, I’m staying home and (insert past time here).
This is so different from the liberal mindset of winning is EVERYTHING and if one loses an election, one must not eat or drink or smile again ever until that is rectified!
Democrats don’t seem to mind when geographically smaller urban centers dominate entire state’s politics and thus policies. Illinois has two democrat state senators, mostly because of how big Chicago is, despite most of the rest of the state (spatially) being red. Everyone in upstate New York has to suffer because of how dominant NYC is, and you can drive ALLL over the state of Pennsylvania and assume that Trump is the most popular man on earth, but that state’s politics are overwhelmed by Philadelphia and Pittsburgh’s influence.
The balances in our electoral college, among other things, should not be used selectively.
Democrats want to complain when they can’t carve out districts to put a minority in power, but they love it when they are the majority and the other side can’t get representation.
Here is my take on the mid-term chances for the democrats:
Pro
1. History is on their side ... the president usually loses in the mid-terms.
Con
1. Millions of voters are leaving blue for red. Last number was net 4.5 mm voters changed parties.
2. People are leaving NY, Chicago, LA for Tx, Tenn, Fla, etc.
3. Voting rights act decision by SC means minority districts are breaking up.
4. Redistricting looks like it will yield a net 10-12 new red districts.
5. Money. Democrats are in the hole. Big donors were mad at Kamala campaign for wasting a billion or more. They have said they are reluctant to give to a party that can’t control their finances and wastes all their donations.
6. Case in point - Virginia redistricting election just wasted 60-70 million.
7. Act Blue and other democrats money-laundering schemes, if not totally shut down, have had serious brakes applied. Thus, 5. above.
8. 3 to 5 million illegal aliens deported. Their votes erased.
These things may not be enough to yield a republican mid-term victory, but their chances are better than mainstream media would have you to believe.
Regarding money, it is simply not possible to judge the total impact of the destruction of fraudulent absorption of money into the Democrat party.
The theft and redistribution of tax money throughout the layers of the democrat political entity is so enormous that understanding is nearly impossible. But,when gone, motivation is removed and action ceases.
The result of the catastrophic loss of the illegal money will be measured and realized in hindsight.
I agree with you. But as much as the act blue was an enormous money laundering scheme, I believe the greater impact was the squandering of huge sums by the Kamala Kampaign during the 2024 election.
During the campaign, donors were complaining about her using large sums to buy celebrities’ endorsements (Beyonce, etc.) that swung the needle NOT A BIT. After the election, many big-time donors said don’t call us, we’ll call you. The head of the DNC, Ken whatshisname is reportedly having trouble getting any of the big donors to pony up.
