The midterm math

Posted on 11/10/2026 7:20:30 AM PST by MichaelRDanger

Maybe somebody can explain this to me.

What I have seen shows the number of Republican voters remained consistent with past elections going back several cycles. Slight increases and decreases here and there and the same holds true for democratic voters. If Christian voters stayed home in large numbers, as well as young men, there should have been a decrease in the number of Republican voters but the number of voters remained largely consistent.

What we see is a sharp increase in democratic voters. 19+ million. Who are they> Where did they come from? Christian voters staying home cannot explain this. Young men turning on Trump cannot explain this. Did every voting district in Texas really turn blue?

There are many, including VDH, trying to explain this from a position of moderation but the numbers do not add up.

But why would they do this in some election but not others?

the number of Latinos who are eligible to vote in Texas has doubled, to 6.3 million.

The Latino share of the state’s electorate now stands at almost 32 percent.

Soon, the Latino vote will be the majority vote in the USA. Republicans cannot be blind to that and need to recruit top notch Latino candidates.

Tens of millions of illegal votes.

I don’t know what numbers you’re looking at, but there were 51.4million votes cast for Republicans in this election but 77.3million votes cast for Republicans in 2024. So your question as posed is simply wrong from the get-go.

Now, are you comparing midterm numbers? So 2026 versus 2022? Well, it was 54.2million votes for Republicans in 2022, so still down over 3million compared to 2022. That’s not small by anybody’s analysis. So, even in context, your assertion still isn’t quite right. But the point is, Democrats showed up in numbers like it was a presidential year. And this wasn’t a surprise. Everyone knew they were getting the vote out. Republicans didn’t step up. They even stepped down more than 5% from 2022. 5%. What was a typical margin of victory for most Democrats? If we’d *just* showed up at 2022 levels, it would not have been a wave. If we’d stepped up to a couple of percent HIGHER than 2022, less than half the amount we stepped down, we would probably still have the Senate.

You can’t handwave numbers. You have to look at them in detail.

Trump is a polarizing individual. He is viewed as not likable by many. Increased voter turnout was in part prompted by a visceral desire to vote against him. Add to this things such as gas prices and the Iran War, and you have a perfect storm.

Why would they do what? Are we supposed to guess?

Let me guess you mean, “why would they turn out in such high numbers for this election and not others?”

Because the party *correctly* sensed that Republicans were embracing the stupid in this election and their numbers would be down - so they had an opportunity and worked it hard. They won because we gave them the opportunity.

Texas “Mexicans” vote for other Texas “Mexicans”. Texas isn’t like California. Native Texans like born and bred Texans. The Texican usually votes for people like them, regardless of their policy. Ken Paxton was thought of as corrupt by many Texans. It was really stupid for him to run.

Yep. And we need a full scale educational effort to teach conservative economics and values to them. Churches ought to be helpful in this - some churches anyway. And we need a “farm team” system to elevate young conservatives through local and state elected offices to gain experience and exposure.

It’s a shame Rush didn’t actually create a “center for advanced conservative studies” because that’s about what is needed.

And, explain how TalaFREAKO “won” the Senate race BEFORE any Election Day votes were even cast.

And…how did 97 out of 254 TX counties have well over 100% of actual citizens “voting”.

That map doesn’t take into account the growth in Texas’ population in recent years. The data is out of date. You’d find the same thing in the counties that voted Republican. Nothing more than clickbait. 🙄

I would like to ask this question for anyone who has the data: What percentage of ballots cast were in-person vs. mail-in, for mid-term elections in 2026 to 2024? Use any state, but of course TX is the one that looks most suspicious.

If there was fraud in the mid-term from registering illegal voters, that is where it would show up

In most states the Independent vote is larger than either the GOP or Dems.

They will swing one way or the other.

I find it interesting how a lot of GOP folks don’t seem to understand how fickle those voters are…and they underestimate how much people dislike Trump.

Remember “Clinton Fatigue” in 1996 and 1998? Trump fatigue makes that look like a head cold.

In order to comprehend that, Trump supporters need to take a step back and look at things objectively. Many have done that. Many others are so engrossed by the man and his rambling rhetoric that they cannot. If THOSE voters remain entrenched in the Republican base and drive the primaries in the next cycle…the GOP will be tossed onto the dust heap; joining the old Democrat party.

2026 The First AI Election – DNC Deployed the American Accountability Network

November 10, 2026 | Sundance

It all seems harmless until you sit down and map out how nefarious characters would utilize the capability.  In the old version of the game there were “bots” and “fake accounts,” which most people are familiar with.  However, in the modern iteration of the ruse Artificial Intelligence comes into play and the AI term “agents” create a new dynamic.

An AI Agent is a created persona utilizing the massive data capabilities of AI to review and create a personality.

The task set looks something like this:

Create an AI agent and give it a name, say Frank.  You tell Frank to review all of Nick Fuente’s social media posts, videos, presentations and online manifests.  Then you instruct Frank to create a psychological profile of what Fuentes believes, how he expresses himself, how he interprets information and the specific vocal and inflection pattern used to share information.

Once Frank has that profile established, then you instruct Frank to build out a community of like-minded sub-agents, who hold the same worldview -each with individual characteristics and nuance- that articulate issues and points of interest in support of Fuentes.  Frank [parent agent] creates a community of 50 [children sub-agents] who can push the Fuentes ideology independently, each re-referencing the originating parent’s continued update, patterns and ideological expressions.

Now you have Frank leading a group of 50 online personas (1 agent and 50 sub-agents) to create the community and boost the messaging of Fuentes based on current issues and events.  Each agent and sub agent creates an account on the favored (targeted) online platform. The instructions tell them the general direction of where they are to go, but in the largest measure the sub-agents can be unleashed to run autonomously, 24/7 with no need for rest, checking back with Frank occasionally who is giving constant feedback based on your instructions.

Suddenly, the opinions of Nick Fuentes seem to be popular, and the Fuentes perspective is boosted within various platforms.  All of the children hitting the social media pages to share and support the Fuentes message.  They like his content, resend his messages and even engage with responses if needed, while they articulate debate based on the education from their parent, Frank – the lead AI agent.

One human creates one AI Agent and in turn that creates 50 AI sub-agents.  That’s just one arbitrary example.

What is the reality online amid this self-promoting group of AI agents?  It’s not the ‘real world’ it’s all online, within a universe entirely created and manufactured. However, it can give the illusion of widely held opinion online.

Make this process exponential by asking real people to sign up and register their support.

“The American Accountability Network is a powerful consortium of advocates, content creators, organizers, and influencers who together have formed an ecosystem that has the ability to shape political narratives, reach the public at scale, and mobilize people to take action.

Our core network online consists of thousands of advocates, including many who have hundreds of thousands and millions of followers.  Across all the major platforms our network reaches an average of 200+ million people each week.” {SOURCE}

Now, those who run this network don’t need to tell each participating “real person” the specifics of how their content will be boosted within the ecosystem to shape the political narrative at scale.  They only need the originating identity, so that an AI Agent like Frank can be assigned to it.

 

[SOURCE]

This collective amplification then shapes the opinion and narrative perspective online.  Some of it from real people, actual content creators, but most of the opinion from the concentric circles of AI Agents operating independently to boost parent messaging.

The era of AI creates this opportunity to manipulate public perception at a level unheard of before.

Replace the Nick Fuentes instructions with another personality profile created in the abstract with the goal to drumbeat “affordability,” “gas prices,” or “tariffs” and the cost of the Iran war.

1,000 parent AI agents now assemble their 50,000 sub-agent children with the training and tasks accordingly.  Now, you have a never sleeping online narrative distribution network operating in real time across all social media platforms.  All of it fabricating a reality online that does not exist in real life.

Cue, Van Jones to talk about it; or, more accurately, to talk about part of it without mentioning the AI Agents of course. (prompted)

JONES: Listen, we’ve got a bunch of Democrats that I think ran for the right reasons. Also, it’s not just about the people who are elected to office. Now it can be told.

Now it can be told. How did we win the narrative on affordability? Was it just these nice little Democrats out there running for office and going to… No. The Republicans never figured out what we were doing. There’s something called the American Accountability Network, tens of thousands of online humans, not bots, coordinated to make the affordability message a winning message online. 32.5 million people hit on Instagram every day. 88.8 million hit on Twitter, X, every single day. And 185 million Facebook hits every single day. And they never figured it out. The Republicans could not understand it wasn’t bots. It was actual human beings.

The most effective online organizing campaign called the American Accountability Network flew under the radar screen, never been told before.

COLLINS: And they were talking about the issue or they were saying you need to elect Democrats to deal with this?

JONES: Driving the kitchen table affordability message and tying that to Democrats on a positive and Republicans on a negative, the Republicans never figured out what we were doing. And what that meant was everywhere you go, people were talking about affordability and they were talking about kitchen table issues. They couldn’t get any traction on these cultural war issues anymore because we figured out how to get around all that.

So it’s not just all the door knocking that was done, which is amazing. It’s not just our amazing candidate quality. We had something called the American Accountability Network.

Don’t get mad at me. I was given permission to reveal this. They never figured it out. And that network is going to continue to push for kitchen table issues and hold our Democratic lawmakers accountable.

There’s much more to this.  I will be sharing and highlighting more information about specific areas where this is showing up at a later date.  For now, it’s worth thinking about the ramifications to this type of political information shaping operation.”

In the originating example, Frank’s AI messaging taskset can be designed and tailored for Michigan or Texas.  The children can be tasked to a very specific level of audience, all the way down to fellowship level (ex. collegiate alumni).  All of the data to accomplish these tasks was collected, downloaded and used in the training of the AI frontier models.

They have it all.  Now, people are exploiting it.

AI Agents can also register to vote and request absentee ballots.  The system has no effective physical check on the return to ensure that a real-life person filled out the ballot.

This creates a never-ending expanded number of American voters.

Undocumented voters.

Seriously, if the numbers were real, Democrats would brag about mobilizing millions of historical nonvoters. This is a case of “the dog that didn’t bark.”

Instead, they spin superficially plausible explanations like high-price gas (which was higher in the Biden midterm without driving up the vote count) and the virtually bloodless Iran war that has no impact on 99% of voters, and that people are extremely bothered by illegals being deported (at levels lower than under Obama, and focused mostly on violent criminals).

People are grasping onto semi-plausible rationalities because they will be ridiculed if they suggest “the emperor has no clothes.”

But do they really want to cut off their nose to spite their face and go back to open borders, crime, countries taking advantage of us in trade, forcing people to make everything electric, sending our goods to be made in foreign countries, etc.?

Talarico’s vote from mail-in ballots and early voting had him a winner before ALL votes were counted...
