Savoring the brutal election lessons for Democrats: Expect all hell to break loose within the Democrat party, with powerful key factions at each others’ throats

Expect all hell to break loose within the Democrat party, with powerful key factions at each others’ throats. Voters in multiple states repudiated the radical wing of the Democrat party that had seized control of the party’s agenda.

Republicans swept the statewide offices in Virginia, a state that had recently tantalized Democrat hopes of national dominance by swinging from red to purple to blue. Even if Phil Murphy ends up winning the governorship of New Jersey as troves of mail-in ballots are added to the totals when counting resumes in the morning (a story replicating what happened in some swing states in 2020), the message is clear: the public does not want to enact the vision of the Squad as our new reality.

Minneapolis voters rejected replacement of the city’s police department with a social worker-laden Department of Public Safety by 12 point margin. This in a city that has twice elected radical Ilhan Omar. Buffalo, NY voters corrected their mistake in a low turnout primary election that nominated radical socialist India Walton as the Democrat candidate for mayor, and wrote-in the name of incumbent Mayor Byron Brown by a large margin. Voters do not want the radical agenda enacted.

The prospects for the Democrats’ Build Back Bankrupt bill ever becoming law just became vanishingly small.  As Charles C.W. Cooke asks the right questions:

 Why on earth would Senators Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, Maggie Hassan, and Catherine Cortez Masto continue to acquiesce with their party’s extraordinarily foolish attempt to shove a set of FDR-sized spending programs through a 50–50 Senate? Such as: Why on earth would a swathe of moderate House Democrats agree to go along with it, when, by all appearances, they are already going to have their work cut out for them next year? (snip)

Yeah that is a good point. McAwful is a long time DC Swamp thing. He had all the big guns out for him. They lost big time.

"As Charles C.W. Cooke asks the right questions:"

Wow - NR is charging people to read their articles?

Charles is an interesting writer, one of the last at NR - but they should be paying us to click on their site - AVAST!

Hell, that's the best part of all.

Sweeter than the Virginia victory last night.

As Napoleon once (supposedly) said:

"Never interfere when your enemy is in the process of destroying himself!"

"A random Nascar wreck propels an underdog to a victory and a conservative battle cry is born."

Life in funny like that - especially in America.

As your awesome post shows, the American people are rejecting a party whose SOCIALIST SOLUTIONS are about as “democratic” as those of Hitler’s SS!

Have Democrats learned a lesson or will they go back Jack and Do it Again?

Oh, they'll do it again - with the same tired playbook - tie the Republican candidate to Trump, scream about how violent "White Supremacists" are our greatest threat and tearing the country apart, and insist they know how to educate indoctrinate your children better than you do.

Letting Democrats eat each other alive and keep pushing their warped values is a winning strategy for the Republicans.

The problem is can we keep Republicans from stopping this process?

The Demagogic Party is the Party of the Single Party State, as they've shown all down the left coast. Naturally there's a move on to benefit all the entertainment industry nitwits who help finance and popularize it.

Short term wonder if Joe Manchin is going to jump parties. From WV he has to have seen all that red in VA.

Throughout the 20th century, the considerable commie wing of the rat party has struggled to get out of their cage and take over the party. My hope is that the leadership of this vile organizations gets the canines to stuff the hard core loonies back in the cage for a while.

Is it possible send weapons?

How about like the corrupt “ballot harvesting” boxes along the street? Dump your leftover knives, ammo, etc: “Free to Demos — Up the revolution!!”

Go kill each other if you like. It is what all commie regimes do.

So let me get this straight.

The VA voters who elected Obama 2xs, elected the 1st Latina AG in VA history, the 1st Black female LT Gov in VA history but voted against an old White male Clintonite thug are now “racists”

I am updating my prior prediction of a GOP gain of 40 seats in the House. Now believing in a +60 seat swing during the 2022 election.
