There is one issue that may lie behind the strange midterm outcome: If this is indeed the reason that Republicans barely scraped a win, it is a terrible indictment of the American people

I don’t trust the results of the midterms. I suspect I will not be confident in election outcomes until verified citizens must sign-up during a short registration period immediately before elections and the voting only takes place at the polls on Election Day. It could be a long wait.

The reports and common-sense indications of fraud are everywhere. Mail-in ballots are, once again, the primary suspect but voting machines and corrupt officials seem to be implicated as well. Anecdotally, Kari Lake was up by 10 points in the run-up to the Arizona Governor’s race. She ended up losing by a hair’s breadth. Never mind that the polls almost always oversample Democrats, or that her opponent oversaw the election and refused to recuse herself from that process, or that the machines in Republican districts mysteriously stopped working. I know you can’t trust the polls, but those are some pretty big issues that certainly help feed the narrative of election shenanigans.

Putting aside the question of fraud, what could have driven people to elect even more incoherent and corrupt politicians? Those who will drive inflation higher, push violent crime to new heights, pursue insane conflicts abroad, accelerate the invasion of our southern border, further the erosion of the bill of rights, and drop trillions of taxpayer dollars into the corrupt climate change black hole?

The answer is obvious: Abortion. It was the single issue that dominated the talking points and advertising of every Democrat candidate. It was also a top issue in the exit polls. That this single-issue strategy may have worked speaks volumes about where we are as a nation.

This is the first article I've seen attributing abortion to the midterm fizzle. Dems LOVELOVELOVE baby murder but the rest of the country is negative on it. Yes, young women 20-29 tend to support abortion but that is because they think it's some magical way to keep from having a baby, rather than the bloody tearing of limb from limb of their own child. Older women know better. I blame McConnell, RINOS and the RNC for sabotaging the midterms overall. Vote harvesting is a major thing in states that allow it. Then we have the obvious steal in AZ.

Election fraud and abortion go hand in hand .

There certainly was a significant pro abortion vote but the reality is that the country is divided on abortion but the majority of Americans, around 55%, are opposed to abortion.

Furthermore, the demographic most in favor of abortion are women who overwhelming vote Democrat.

A very probable impact of the abortion issue was the mobilization of significant numbers of highly motivated and committed abortion partisans to engage in Democrat ballot harvesting operations.

If this thesis is correct, Republicans had damned better well come up with a better strategy to face the issue with because the 21st century will be characterized by various reactions to the freedom from want, toil and oppression inherent in SURPLUS DRIVEN economies. Technology has created a world in which survival is not the dog eat dog war against nature that it once was. Nature and its Malthusian/Darwinian imperatives have been conquered; that battle has been won.

All humanity now has access to the privileges and possessions once affordable only by the wealthy; the average human now possesses wealth beyond anything imaginable ot 19th century and earlier societies throttled by SCARCITY DRIVEN war lord feudalism. The problem is that along with that new found wealth comes the mentality of the wealthy - a aesthetic of bling, ornament, upmanship, conspicuous display
and peer pressure to conform, i.e., the fruits of pleasure seeking. Pleasure seeking primarily revolves around sex or its many symbolic sublimations and we end up with the diseases of the idle rich - hedonism to the point of debauchery, sadisms, eccentricity, irratiional New Age spiritualisms, narcissistic body worship, self righteous egomanias, etc., all of which typify leftism today. To sum up - leftists exhibit the aesthetic of the ruling class.

Therefore any battle ground over abortion should announce the fact that contemporary “radicals” have adopted the value system of what they hate.

In case you were wondering what an alternative to the ruling class aesthetic might be - begin with the phrase “form follows function”.

What a horrible indictment!

You may be right……..God have mercy
America has been fed for 50 years on the ‘right’ to kill an unborn child
It has seeped into our conscience, our souls…..

God will have mercy on whom He will have mercy……..and we had better pray for mercy!!

Our nation is being embarrassed every single day by the present administration…..we are truly a laughingstock….
Will God save us from our ourselves, our corporate sins.
PRAY!

Engineered “Election”

2020 was proof-of-concept.
2022 was crafted for specific outcom

People keep making stuff up, like abortion was a bid deal, when anybody with a brain knows is ballot harvesting gone wild.

2024 is the End Game.

2026 no voting allowed.

Yes, trying to find an excuse for the existence of such a lousy political party.

Which you have evidently no evidence of. Tell me this? Why did we win so many close California races? If there’s fraud everywhere, how did we win those?

Yes.

Every "election" cycle, the Democrat Media, working hand-in-hand with the national DNC vote fraud machine, crafts various Narratives to explain the various vote fraud schemes running that cycle.

They hammer these home throughout the run-up to the "election", then point to them after Miraculous Results are obtained.

I detected this pattern with the use of my Obama 2008 Vote Fraud Detection tool.

Either we deal with it, or that's it.

Pretending that compromising with the Devil is the path to saving America is a blindness that can only expedite our destruction.

Wait. That sounds familiar. Didn't Winston Churchill say something like that (re Britain) about Neville Chamberlain?

If he didn't, he should have.

They let California go, they let NY alone, except gov race- they lost Long Island, upstate and lost the democrat leader, Mahoney, in Hudson Valley. That was a shock to them

they left California alone, thinking they were lock ins

They left Florida alone wanting RDS to work with them

They let the school board elections go- they went tsunami

They want us to think abortion is a hot item. It’s not. No sale The kids don’t want it and the depressed and drugged post sbortive women are heading into post childbearing.

It’s a lie.

It would be crazy to say that the abortion issue didn’t play
in, but folks, we had three our four governors elected that
made it very clear where they stand on the abortion issue.
Kari Lake would make the fourth or fifth.

Out of the 254 people Trump endorsed, 222 won. If abortion
was the major issue that folks think it certainly was, then
how do we reconcile that outcome? If abortion was the
major issue, then none or very few of those 222 should have
won.

Our numbers did not go up, because 32 of the 254 were not
elected. That’s why we didn’t have as big a victory as
some folks expected.

There is however, a silver lining to this cloud. We have
people who replaced RINOs kicked to the curb in the
spring of 2022.

We have a better body of people in the Senate and the House.

That’s no small accomplishment. It reflects Trump
continued clout, and it reflects better times for us in
the House. We have the majority with a more Conservative
House.

Yeah, we could have made real run on the House and Senate
if we had kept all the RiNOs we replaced, but what value
would that bring us?

Did we want more Romneys, Snows, and on and on?

We are in a better position than we were, and it is due
to Donald J. Trump.

I’m tired of all the moaners and groaners acting as if
the Democrats didn’t just suffere a humiliating defeat.

Nancy Pelosi will not be the speaker beyond the first of
January. Hardly anyone at all makes that point. Isn’t
it a good thing?

(Yeah, it gets mentioned, but not as much as I would have
thought. She’s an evil soul, and she is gone from the
leadership. It’s only pride that keeps her in the House
at all.)

It’s pretty obvious you have not talked to a female under 30 recently.

The issue of abortion is a head fake. It’s cheating, mail in ballots, harvesting, etc. Wake the F up RNC!

Yeah, well, Republicans have been avoiding that issue for decades for a reason. They wanted the votes.
