Throughout American history there has been events in the country were things were so precarious that the voters decided en masse to change things. Below are a few graphs I created, to give you an idea how the American voters responded to these bellwether moments. These graphs offer a glimpse at how the political landscape can change, if we the voters truly want to stop the madness we see going on with our leaders.
To get a picture of what we are facing today, I chose to focus on the 1994 mid term election, the 2010 mid term election, and the 3 elections following the Stock Market Crash of 1929. These elections give us a glimpse of how the voters reacted to events effecting their lives, which they perceived are caused of the politicians running things. I am also including the shifts in governors races along with state legislatures of "1994" and "2010", and two maps to help you see how the states are looking in this election. All this to show how the voters turned their anger on politicians locally and nationally. Which we will see happening again this November.
I'll begin with the most recent election of 2010, when President Obama and the Democrats in Congress were destroying the economy while threatening to take over the healthcare industry. The result was the most devastating defeat for a political party in 78 years. It was in 1932 when Republicans lost 99 seats in the House and 11 seats in the Senate. Under Obama, the Democrats lost 64 seats in the house and 6 in the Senate. It must be stated that after the 2010 election, the Democrats defied the American voters demands, by passing Obamacare with a lame duck Congress. So after we defeat the Democrats in November, can we expect them to double down on stupid before their term is over?
Then we go back to the 1994 election which was 2 years after the Clintons won the Whitehouse, and the first time a big push was made by a political party to take control of American's health care system. This debate exacerbated the many problems voters had with the Clinton's and their allies in Congress. Which led the voters to show up in droves to make a change in 1994. In what was officially called the Ditto-Head caucus, the Republicans took control of both Houses of Congress. Other than 79th Congress of 1947-1949 and the 83rd Congress of 1953-1955, the Republicans were used to being in the minority for most of the second half of the 20th century.
Now we come to a couple elections when Republicans found themselves on the wrong end of a historic defeat.
While doing my research for relevant election cycles I realized that the anger of the voters at Republicans over the financial woes of the country just kept gaining steam as the Depression set in. People began looking to the government for help, which led to many Socialists getting elected. A similar thing we see the Democrats hoping they can create again as they try their best to duplicate the misery of the Great Depression for their political gain. Sadly, it is at times when the government becomes the most intrusive upon our lives that our misery becomes more rampant. So the people do look to the very government that put them in misery to help solve their financial woes. OH what a vicious web of dependance our leaders weave for us to be trapped by, just to satisfy their lust for power.
Following the Stock Market crash of 1929, it took 3 consecutive elections from 1930 to 1934, for the Democrats to gain a super majority of the government. In 1929 the Republicans controlled 30 Governorships to 18 for the Democrats, 53 Senate seats to 39 by Democrats, and 270 House seats to 165 by the Democrats. When the dust had settled after the 1934 election, the political landscape had changed drastically with the Democrats controlling 38 Governorships, 69 US Senate seats, and 322 House seats.
Over a four year span, the voters held the Republican Party responsible for the policies which led to all the financial woes of America. We can debate who was responsible, but regardless of what the facts are, I offer a glimpse of the results of how the American people saw things and what they did to change course. One reason it took 4 years for things to settle is that news traveled slow and many citizens were not as in tune with the election process. However, as the depression lingered, the effects it had on the mindset of Americans was quite evident by the time 1934 election was complete.
Today we are 22 days out from another election that historians will be studying for years to come. When you look at the mood of the voters, it is evident that by the time the 118th Congress is sworn in Republicans will gain both chambers. It is no longer a question of "if", but rather how big the sweep will be. In the graphs I put together, you will see that I made my predictions, and highlighted them in yellow. I am convinced the Republicans will win much bigger than many believe.
Here are just some of the ancillary evidence to take into consideration for what this election will most likely turn on.
As of today, the numbers of early voters are down historically, which means Democrats could care less. Republicans will not send in their vote by mail unless forced by law. We will crawl over broken glass to vote in person, as we did in 2022.
Independent voters are overwhelmingly telling liberal pollsters they will vote Republican.
Black men are angry at the Democrats, and even liberal polls are showing this.
Hispanic voters are the fastest growing conservative group in America. They are leaving the Democrat party in droves. Mostly because they are the biggest pro-life, pro-Christian, anti-gay, anti-Socialist demographic group in the country. They will be mostly voting Republican.
States where Democrats seldom see opposition are now confronted with many, many female voters who are telling pollsters,
"I am pro-choice, but I am voting Republican to protect my children."
Yes, those are quotes being heard time and time again across the country in strong Democrat areas.
I offer two maps to help you see how the states are looking in this election, and when you consider past elections you begin to understand the ramifications this election will have on the federal, state, and all the way down to school boards and even dog catcher if anyone is running for that job.
I hate to say this, but I don’t think November 8th will be a “GOP Blowout”, as so many pundits predict. We’ll win some seats, but the braindead leftists, socialists, communists, Marxists, anarchists, liberals on the demonKKKrat party, aren’t flocking to the GOP, for any reason. Independents are, to a degree. Most blacks aren’t; they’re still slaves to the demonKKKrats, as they’ve been since the 1700s.
Just pray that we can take a votable majority of the US House and US Senate, by a decent margin. If we don’t, America is irreparably doomed over the next 2+ years. Light a candle.
I hope and pray you are right....
“Throughout American history there has been events in the country ...”
Throughout history there has never been a time when the steal and cheat has been so successful.
I agree with you.
McTurtle will be deeply saddened.
The Leftist have taken over tech and no doubt voter fraud will be bigger than ever this election. I too believe it will NOT NOT NOT be blowout. If we grab the house for 2 years that will be a stunning victory in today’s times.
The gains in the house are possible, I think he is too optimistic about the senate-I see more like 52 to 48.
If the votes are properly counted, your predictions are likely to be true, if not understated.
A very interesting analysis. It almost had me leaping with joy in anticipation EXCEPT for one factor not considered: MASSIVE CHEATING SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED IN 2020!
With Mail in ballots still a major factor in 2022 and other similar anomalies, I cannot help but wonder how you can be so confident in your predictions when it all but assumes that the 2022 mid-terms will be relatively fair and honest…
.
We come up with similar #s for US Senate, House, Governor
MAGA Dittoes this.
Cheaters always cheat, only difference is now they gloat.
Pretty optimistic prediction. Note the state legislatures gained. What’s the number required for a constitutional convention, 37 or 38?
I said a long time ago that GOP will win big, 80 seats +/- in the house and I’d the wind blows just right may even hit triple digits.
Senate they will take as well comfortably at least 5 seats on the low end…
And that was based on nothing more than the double digit generic ballot advantage they had back in the spring…
Roe being struck down temporarily blipped the numbers but completely failed economic policies has moved things back on original trend.
We will see.
PA is the bellweather if the craptastic wizard of OZ wins PA… then the election is 100% a rejection and repudiation of Biden and the Dems from the top down… candidate quality or even stands won’t matter. Expect GOP wins in places no one, nor even the most optimistic Republican pundits, are talking about. If oZ wins PA we are basically in a cycle where a ham sandwich will win as long as it has an R by its name.
If OZ loses PA, will still be a good night for the GOP, but it won’t be the complete domination it could have been.
34 states
“We’ll win some seats, but the braindead leftists, socialists, communists, Marxists, anarchists, liberals on the demonKKKrat party, aren’t flocking to the GOP, for any reason. “
Sadly, I agree. Throw in the massive cheating, and it won’t be what we’d like to see.
+7 in the Senate and +72 in the House is nonsensical.
It’s very, very, very difficult for either party to break 250 in the House.
+7 in the Senate would be a possibility in 2024, but not this year.
This type of “prediction” and setting expectations unrealistically high is not helpful.
240+ in the House and 53-54 in the Senate is doable.
285 in the House is just fantasy.
That is if they don’t conveniently lock everyone down before because of the new gain of function covid strain our own mfers in Boston made for Biden to release in case of massive democrat removal prospects.
Remember, they only stole a few federal seats. House seats are more difficult to steal. State seats are easier, thus my low 6 seat win in the US Senate.
The closer you get to the voter, the harder it is to steal the vote.
