It's not exactly clear how it happened. No one expected it, least of all the media and pollsters. But that promised big blue wave of Democratic victories across the country turned instead into a red tidal wave from coast to coast. Most progressive ballot issues in the states -- from tax increases to racial preferences -- also came crashing down.
A big reason for this turnaround in the election was the massive turnout for President Donald Trump on Election Day. The irony is that Trump's coattails pulled hundreds of Republicans over the goal line -- but as things currently stand, they didn't save him from a razor-tight defeat.
So, how deep were the losses for the Democrats? In the U.S. House, Nancy Pelosi thought her troops would gain 10 to 12 seats. Instead, they lost, at last count, nine.
But the real carnage was in the state houses. Hold on to your hats; here is the latest from our allies at the American Legislative Exchange Council. The GOP gained a total of 192 House and 40 Senate seats. Republicans flipped control of three chambers.
As a result of these big and improbable wins, Republicans now have majority control in both House and Senate chambers in 31 of 50 states. Democrats have control in only 18 states. That's a map of the USA that looks awfully red throughout middle America, with only the rusting Northeast and the West Coast colored blue.
What is truly stunning about this story is that Democrats and liberal/progressive donors (Michael Bloomberg, George Soros, Mark Zuckerberg, et al.) poured hundreds of millions of dollars into the states to take over legislatures with unprecedented spending in Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania. The American Legislative Exchange Council president, Lisa Nelson, estimates that Democrats outspent Republicans "at least 3-to-1 in the states." And all they got was a lousy T-shirt.
Money just doesn't buy you love with voters.
Speaking of money, voters don't want politicians taking more of it from them. In Illinois, Colorado and California, major tax hikes lost, and tax cuts were approved by voters. Racial preferences, rent control and pro-union measures went down in flames in California -- the cradle of progressive wacko ideas.
Even Democrats admit that their party's embrace of socialism was a major turnoff to voters. Rep. Abigail Spanberger from Virginia won her race, but she isn't a happy camper. "We need to not ever use the words 'socialist' or 'socialism' ever again," she says. Democrats, she angrily continued, "lost good members because of that."
Though litigation is ongoing, Republicans appear to have lost by a razor's edge the prize of the White House, which is a stinging defeat for conservatism. But no one in modern times has turned out voters like Donald J. Trump. Even USA Today admits that it was the big "Trump turnout" that swung state and local elections in a conservative direction.
If the Democrats govern as the party of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, they can expect even deeper losses in 2022. They may even suffer their ultimate nightmare, a return to the White House by Trump in 2024. Trumpism and putting America first are still alive and well.
I have to disagree with your premise.
Should Kommie become President (and if Biden wins we all know she will), you’re going to see a crackdown on us conservatives like we’ve never seen. The Communist Dems will not allow us to have any kind of free or fair elections ever again. There may be elections, but it’ll all be smoke and mirrors with the outcome decided in advance.
The only alternative we will have, should the Commies manage to win, is actual civil war where tens of thousands will have to die in order for freedom to survive.
And I do not believe I’m exaggerating.
Either President Trump wins this or we ALL lose.
If this doesn’t get fixed, we’re going to end up having to shoot our way out of this.
“I’m not impressed. It’s what the Republican majorities do that matters”

Take off the rose colored glasses and step into reality.
You forgot EDUCATION. Our teachers are indoctrinating our youth and they ‘are our future’. They are a big majority Left voting bloc now. My son, who is ‘Millennial Conservative’ actually said to me that he didn’t think Biden would be too bad as President.
Doesn’t matter, the left is stealing all power from the people. We will allow ourselves to be enslaved because our lives are too precious to us. We will leave our children and grandchildren to Stalinist communists. Forced to all sorts of evil perversions and subjugation. So, play on your computer while uou can. Soon you will only be able to suck the dick of tyranny, enjoy.
Actually, we’re not. Fraud aside, about 70M morons legitimately voted for Biden. And it doesn’t mattert who votes, just who and how they are coumted. There is no integrity in our electoral system.
I should have included education with academia.
...and then, there’s still 2024
So what. Elections are selections. The American people have no representation. The coup is complete.

You beat me with those great points. Need to scroll down more before posting.
Sweetest victory for me was that a return to AA preferences was defeated in California decisively.
“ The irony is that Trump’s coattails pulled hundreds of Republicans over the goal line — but as things currently stand, they didn’t save him from a razor-tight defeat.”
Sorry Mr. Moore. This idea is not even logical.
Now that they own the voting machines, why should they care?
“Fraud aside, about 70M morons legitimately voted for Biden.”
That’s what is really scary. Even if it wasn’t 70M, it had to be near 60M. That’s a lot of morons running around loose.

<><> and the redistricting apparat is safely in the hands of Republicans.
The massive turnout for Trump proved those ralliers vote in droves. Yes, Trump's coattails pulled in hundreds of Republicans --
but Dems rank vote fraud gave Americans a senile, half-cocked President who heads a Crime Family of greedy, practiced grifters.
The first thing to do is to elect a pro-2nd amendment, constitutional sheriff in your counties. That will give you the armed and legal muscle to protect your communities and your families from leftists. Many sheriff elections are held in the spring when only 10% of the electorate show up to vote.
Trump lost because of women voters like my wife selected neither for president.
Your argument is conflicted.
On the one hand you argue correctly that future elections will be under complete control of Democrats, actually Socialists.
On the other hand you criticize those who will not vote in GA.
I agree it’s confusing to sort out. The question is why would it matter to vote in GA if the election is rigged by machines? There’s no good answer.
I have taken no position because there’s no good answer to the vote-not vote question but if the voting is cyber rigged in GA, what does it matter?
Seems to me we have to first seize all machines everywhere and destroy them. This needs to be done quick.
I follow news to see patriots in GA are organizing to at least watch and stand guard over the machines.
