How the GOP lost control of Washington, and what comes next...

Unless GOD in His mercy intervenes, the outlook looks dim. A godless crew is running this nation.

What are the consequences of nations turning away from God?

We have gone past the point of no return.
The enemies of freedom own the entire “election” process lock, stock and barrel.
There is no voting our way out of this.
Tragically, CW2 is dead ahead. Plan and prepare accoringly.

Hold on now, that cannot be legal! Everything is legal now for Democrats. The courts will back them up 100%

Basically a good piece by Solomon, but he left out the corruption/cowardice of the courts. The Supreme Court’s failure to correct the blatantly unconstitutional activities of Deep State operatives has opened the door for the foundational disintegration of this nation.

How many Senate seats has the GOP lost since McTurtle assumed “leadership” of the caucus?

I count at least six, including the results from Georgia.

Yup. I reject any plan to rebuild the GOP or somehow “fix” it.

The GOP is every bit as much of a problem as the Democrats. I am now an Unenrolled (Independent) voter. No more GOP support from me. All done.

I will also say that we’ve been limping along under the Uniparty for decades. Things are bad, but haven’t been bad enough. I think we could limp along for another hundred years (frog in the simmering pot syndrome). Now that the Communists seem to have complete control of everything, maybe we will stop limping and maybe we will race full-speed ahead into disaster. That might be the only way people ever wake up.

The GOP Legislators in Battle Ground States had a window of opportunity and they failed us. In those States where the legislative branches do not meet after an election unless the Governor calls a Special Session, they needed to challenge the illegal activity in Court before the election to set the stage for lawsuits if the cheating happened. The State legislative branches that met after the election, waited to long and failed to take control back before the vote was certified.

Get on your State legislators demand they change the rules regarding elections. Write the rules in such a way that the courts will intercede if those rules are not followed. Limit absentee ballots to military, civilians overseas, students living out of state attending a university, elderly and handicapped. For elderly and handicapped individuals they have to be legally cognizant to vote and their ballot witnessed by their Guardian. Make ballot harvesting and voter fraud a felony with fines from 50,000 to 100,000 dollars and/or 2-5 years in prison. Make it a higher level felony under state law to harvest votes from handicapped or elderly people in nursing homes and institutions. If you can read a ballot and understand it but are unable to write, that is one thing, if you no longer can read and understand a ballot that is abuse. Some college student trying to be smarter by half, fraudulent voting in two States if convict will have a felony on their record. Make sure that is highlighted on absentee ballots.

In States with RAT Governors, write the rules and give them no way to circumvent the rules with an emergency order. NC forced voter ID on a RAT Governor who opposed it but now it is the law and it was upheld by the Appeals Court.

Republican legislatures need to exert control? Um, they tried and were overruled by Democrat governors, courts, and even election boards that changed the rules as they saw fit.

Assuming Democrats don’t further stack the deck in their favor now that they control Washington DC—a very big assumption—Republicans must employ the same ballot harvesting tactics. There are more registered Democrats than Republicans, but we still have millions of Republicans who sat on the sidelines this last election. Those Republicans must be contacted and encouraged to vote—not in person but by mail as too many voters are apparently too lazy or busy to vote in person anymore.

That’s why the Democrats win mass mail in balloting. Normally, many of them wouldn’t bother voting, but when harvesters show up and make voting as easy as possible, these unmotivated voters will submit a ballot. Of course there’s also fraud—no one can know it wasn’t enough to change the 2020 election—but these mail in ballots and ballot harvesting are what’s really killing the GOP.

Welcome to the dark side. I do not know about you but I found it actually a relief. Now I follow my own path.

The only part of the headline that’s stands out: “the GOP lost...”

If it were just a matter of incompetence, the party might be rehabilitated, but as it has been demonstrated, the party lost on purpose. It no longer has a reason to exist.

Good bye WhiGOP. Hello MAGA.

The Democrats “leapfrogged nothing.” They had to step over a few lazy drunkards lying prostrate in the streets begging for a handout.

Rose, are you hearing any serious talk of Texas secession? It's an unpleasant thought, but it may be time to start thinking about it.

I would hope if Texas did secede, they would allow other freedom loving states to join in with them to form a new country.

Imagine a place where Leftists have no control over public policy.

Correct. And how many Congress critters are in office today as a direct result of down votes for Donald Trump? How many are in office today because Donald Trump threw his support behind their campaigns?

Unfortunately for all those people who think we will regain the house and or senate in 2022, they fail to realize there is no reason for us Trumpers to go out and vote for any Republican.

George Wallace was right:
