How bad the 2022 election was for the GOP, historically speaking
The Washington Post ^ | Nov. 10, 2022 | Aaron Blake

Posted on 11/11/2022 7:03:30 AM PST by GrootheWanderer

This would be the first time since 1986 — and only the second time since 1934 — that the opposition party has had a net loss of governor’s seats. Only once in the past 100 years has the opposition party lost both Senate seats and governor’s mansions: 1934. Republicans could feasibly do that. The opposition party has gained state legislative chambers in every midterm election held since 2002, flipping an average of more than 12 chambers. Republicans have currently lost at least three chambers — both chambers in Michigan, and the Minnesota state Senate — and appear as though they’ll lose the Pennsylvania House of Representatives, as well.

If ANYONE is buying in to this BULL$HIT from the "compost" then you're in need of a lobotomy.

Although it was NOT the epic Red Tsunami that was predictsed it was VERY POSITIVE for Conservatives and Red State voters across the Country.

In states like Pennsylvania VOTER FRAUD is still very much in play.

Please tell me in a Country where 75 to 80% of its citizens say we're "headed in the WRONG direction" would thhey vote for a Fetterman?

The answer lies in "WHY was Florida so successful?"

Here's the answer.

Ron DeSantis displayed gutsy leadership in confronting COVID, enduring taunts as "DeathSantis" and far worse as he refused to cower before the might of Dr. Fauci, the medical establishment, Big Pharma, the media, and Democrat politicians. As a result, Florida prospered as other states closed down their businesses and schools. (The other governor who resisted the panic, South Dakota's Kristi Noem, won with an even bigger margin: 26.8 points with 97% of the vote counted.)

Voting integrity systems were put in place in Florida after the state became a national laughingstock in the wake of the 2000 presidential election, and "hanging chad" became a symbol of questionable vote totals. Florida permits any registered voter to request an absentee ballot, but the request has to be received by the office of the local supervisor of elections by the close of business ten days before the election. Only the voter or an immediate family member can make the request. There are NO mass mailings of vote-by-mail ballots

FIX the BROKEN State's Voting Systems.. or SUFFER the CONSEQUENCES of FRAUD in the Future.

I know Beck lost his mind a while back but he's right here

And it's not just the democrats. It's the RINOs and also a lot of what we normally would consider right wing news outlets. Everyone's on board with this; Let's you and him fight" narrative.

“Why do citizens vote to support Demo-Crazy, Demo-Crime, Demo-Demolish-the-Nation?”

Because, the collective American mind is darkened. Having chosen to turn its back on God, God has rendered His judgment. He has given them over to a reprobate mind. Abortion, transgenderism, grooming of children, fostering a climate where crime and corruption flourish, not enforcing laws, punishing good and rewarding evil. America is being judged by God as His restraints against ungodliness and moral corruption (his Spirit, an effective church, the God-ordained family, moral government) have been rejected by the people.

“Two words explain it

Trump and Abortion”

93% of those candidates endorsed by Trump won. Abortion we are being played on...but even if not to overturn Roe Vs Wade at the federal level was worth it. Now we need to work on those evil states promoting the holocaust on our children.

From My Daughter ..

GA had 251 statewide races yesterday. Many seats. Republicans won 144 of those.

There were 23 fed/state level races. We won 17

GA had massive wins. We need those seats filled by Republicans. People got it done. Many races won by large margins.

GA as a whole. Republicans won 60% of all the races held.

Media is distracting us from some important points, but getting us to focus on other points leading to the ever popular purist circular firing squad. They suggest our vote was "inefficient" because we ran up large margins in red states via red voters fleeing blue states. Yes, but (1) the Democrats urban blue base is even more concentrated and thus "inefficient", and (2) if red voters were fleeing blue states for red ones why weren't Congressional representations in the House and corresponding electoral votes switching to follow them?

The real problem was that the deep state conspired to steal Trump's Census and much of the gains it should have provided. IIRC they admitted under Biden they'd given four House seats to blue states which should have gone to red ones. But 'sorry, too late to fix that mistake. You're stuck with it until the next Census we steal, after four more elections.' There are plenty of surplus red votes in the robbed states. All those stolen seats could have been gerrymandered to the GOP.

Republicans won the House and possible the Senate because of Donald Trump. If we lose the Senate it is due to fraud. The democrats are trying to create enough ballots to get control and it is taking days AFTER the election to do so. No luck so far.

“Just every 2 or 4 years, instead of “slavery”, remind them of “backyard alleys” to keep them on the Dem plantation.”

Funny, but sad thing about this is if the Republicans decided to go with the Democrats on abortion, next election cycle the Democrats would be against it and would accuse the Republicans of wanting to kill babies. Same with any left wing narrative.

“As a national party, we’re on the verge of being exiled to the wilderness for a generation.”

It won’t happen.

We now have ‘Moses’ DeSantis to lead us to the promised land.(Sarcasm)

His economic gains, conservative policies, America first foreign policy and court appointments in 4 years were more substantial than anything the establishment GOP delivered since 1989, with their godfathers GHWB’s election.

We suffered through endless promises, aka lies from the establishment GOP from 1989-2017 and you all want more of that BS? Since BiteMe’s Selection with GOP establishment support the GOP has promised nothing other than vote for us we’re not Democrats and I’m going to ditch Trump for these lying peckerheads again? No.

I will vote Trump in primary or general. I might vote DeSantis-might. Those same POS ‘s in the establishment supporting him now gives me pause. The pedo’s in the Lincoln Pervs group have endorsed him, the little shit Ryan has, major red flags!
