To Win The War For America, The GOP Needs To Realize It’s Happening
The Federalist ^ | November 14, 2025 | Nathan Stone

Posted on 11/15/2025 1:48:16 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

The reactions to last Tuesday’s elections can be broadly divided into two camps. “Why is everyone losing their minds over leftists winning predictable races in blue states?” and “The GOP had better wake up or we’re toast in 2026!”

If it had just been predictable races won by predictable people, the first reaction would be understandable. But when the GOP loses its supermajority in the Mississippi Senate (a state President Trump won last year by 22 points) and when both GOP incumbents in Georgia’s statewide Public Service Commissioners races are ousted by Democrats for the first time in decades, some deep soul searching needs to take place — and stat. 

Probably the best take came from Scott McCay’s reaction to the elections, in which he said the left has defrosted the cold civil war we’ve been in since at least 2015 (and probably since the 2000 presidential election) and that the right is still acting like it’s 1996. It’s not just that Senate Democrats took the country hostage for 42 days or promised to eliminate the filibuster as soon as they get their hands back on power. It’s not just that Eric Swalwell has publicly promised that Democrats will investigate every group that worked with Trump, or that James Carville fantasized about goose walking Trump voters and allies in orange jumpsuits through D.C., while “patriots” spit on them.

It’s that someone as vile, immoral, and death-mongering as Jay Jones was able to win his bid to be Virginia’s next attorney general. When only 46 percent of polled Virginia voters say Jones’ murderous fantasy texts are “disqualifying,” the problem is more than DEI racism and groomers disguised as teachers (bad as those...)

The democrat communist party must be disbanded or America is doomed when they cheat their way back into power. All of the good things being done will be undone overnight.

We can’t beat the democrats until we beat the republicans.

Why do people continue to assume/pretend the GOP is on America’s side in this?

That’s where I think people haven’t taken enough relevant math in HS

What are the possibilities.

That is one strong one. Look at what the GOP does. How they act. Cmon

It’s a Uniparty. The Democrats and Republicans are in the game together. And they both work against Trump, because he is not part of the Uniparty.

Correct. If they take power again they will destroy us and show us absolutely no mercy while doing it.

And that includes our personal finances.

“We can’t beat the democrats until we beat the republicans.”

One of the most realistic things I have read in a long time. Thank you... Absolute fact... Until we get a handle on our own we are just spitting in the wind... Blind unquestioned loyalty is a huge mistake... And it will be our downfall...

It would be nice if Federal Government’s powers were so small, there would be nothing to fight over.

Sadly, the opposite is true - The empire in DC controls nearly every aspect of the citizen’s life, and is piling up huge debt and distributing massive amounts of money doing it.

Therefore, its literally a life-and-death struggle for control.

The slimy, sycophantic, stinky RINO GOPeahen enablers of the DEMONcrats MUST be PURGED. The era of the Rockefeller Republicans, “Team Mitch,” The Bushes, Cheneys, Pence, Paul, and the rest of the Uniparty rats must end or we are done as a nation. Look at the National debt, it is because of their complacency that we are bankrupt as a nation and the American taxpayer has been robbed blind. Where did all of the money collected in taxes PLUS $38.2 TRILLION DOLLARS GO? I have a good idea…

We’re not going to have a downfall. We elected Trump for this. He knows everything that’s going on

I have patience with him myself

And on H1B visas… not one dope of a usurper corporatist GOP candidate will be able to run on it. Not even that H1B visa prince, Ted Cruz

Not Cornyn

Never have I heard everyone from Laura Ingraham to liberal young people to Tim Dillon on one side of an issue. And not on an immigration issue like this. They’re all screaming stop the visas. Stop the influx

Is Trump trolling this?

My father was a big business man from queens also a mil acad like Trump

He was a troll

He’d take us to the country club men’s grill room for Saturday lunch so my mother could stay home alone. lI housewife’s dream

On Saturdays kids could go to the grill room but only Saturdays.

Eight kids

We all had a coke with a maraschino cherry. He’d have us tie the stem in a knot in our mouths without touching it with our hands. He’d show us how he could do it

Now I can see he tied it, put it in his mouth then had a second one for the trick

We were twisting, murmuring, tilting our heads, competing. Our mouths closed

If you want to know how to keep 8 hungry kids quiet for ten minutes while the waitress gets you set up and ordered, that’s one way.

Trump does this kind of thing. It’s in a way a Queens thing. I imagine Dan Bongino could explain why

The only way the Republicans will win in '26 is if people go into the voting booth with an overall belief that things are better. That inflation is down, crime is down, illegals are deported, there's jobs to be had, homes to buy, etc.

And not just being told that things are better. That's what the Democrats tried to do. They need to actually feel it.

And you don’t win if your only message is “We Suck Less!”

I’m astonished these guys are astonished.

It’s not like a commie got elected the day Marx’s manifesto came out.

The GOP has been marching along arm in arm towards the totalitarian left for decades.

We call them RINOs.

It doesn’t matter whether we like Trump or trust him or not. It is a non-issue. Fact is he will lose all control almost exactly one year from now at the midterms and our Republican reps will hand the Democrats the win...

That is a fact... Bet on it... This is all a scripted play, bad cop-good cop, bad cop-good cop, bad cop-good cop...

I see no evidence that the GOP wants to win. McConnell always set it up that they would be minority. Why wouldn’t they want this? All the money non of the responsibility

Bet on it? I didn’t ask you to tell me how to bet. What are you? My bookie

Mark this 11-15

I’m betting on Trump pulling us ahead in spite of the congress and judiciary, the governors the state houses and state legislature s all being GOP and-all primarily Trump haters.

Blind foolish trust in the system. The system has NEVER earned trust... Not for over a hundred years...
