We can draw a few conclusions from an off-year election, when iconic races in blue states went, as expected, overwhelmingly Democratic.
Nevertheless, there is only a year left before the midterms. So Republicans must react to even these paltry results.
1) Democrats' chaotic nihilism still works. The chaos strategy causes so much turmoil, noise, and negative media coverage that the confused voting public simply cannot sort it all out. The public wishes the upheaval would just go away and often blames those with the most current authority -- logically, the incumbent Trump and his administration.
2) Every day of Trump's first year, there were either campus eruptions, Tesla firebombings, street violence against ICE, or crazy district judges' injunctions.
The bedlam becomes force multiplied by unhinged outbursts from Democrats like AOC, Jasmine Crockett, Eric Swalwell, and the proverbial Squad.
The latest firecracker was thrown by a now Biden-like, faltering Nancy Pelosi, who recently screamed on CNN that President Donald Trump "is just a vile creature, the worst thing on the face of the Earth."
The public has no time to sort out all the actual causes for such mad hattery. It knows only from Democrats that the commotion is roughly correlated with "Trump."
Note that there is never a positive Democratic "Contract with America," since it is impossible to advance anything popular or moderate past its now firmly socialist base.
3) Democrats also use the chaos strategy to target key electoral groups.
In this week's election, Republicans finally grasped the purpose of the pre-election shutdown.
It was designed to galvanize key constituencies to get out the vote in a low-turnout year. The lockdown was especially aimed at two groups: laid-off and unpaid government workers and entitlement recipients terrified that their checks would dry up.
Both turned out disproportionately in Virginia and...

Ugh, when VDH resorts to his infrequent listcicle boilerplate, and then he buried the lede (5).
It works!
One aggravating thing. I’m called an out of date old timer for quoting any legacy tv media.
BUT if the mass of drooling, morons known as the American Dem voters are supposedly influenced by the news media to blame the GOP and Trump for the shutdown, then how are they all suddenly being brainwashed by the legacy media?
So now they ARE watching the news instead of social media gossip?
What if PDJT then gets to Mamdami's "left," as it were, bringing federal law to bear for the protection of women and gays from Mamdami?
It's either that, or Mamdami shows himself to be an apostate.
How are women and gays treated in Dearborn?
It’s an extortion racket.
Perhaps it is time for POTUS to start talking about RICO possibly applying to the Dem Senators and what they are doing. I believe just talking about it publicly will be enough to scare the bejesus out of the Dems. Extortion is a predicate offense.
The Democrats should be ashamed of themselves. They are holding the country hostage to gain political power. That is anti-American. They are all traitors.
Democrats are socialists and anarchists. I appreciate they have come out in the open.
I wish the members of our side in actual positions of power and authority had the “By Any Means Necessary” mentality needed these days.
Too many cowards and cucks afraid of the media and elite opinions of them.
The old rules are long gone. We need Pinochet and Franco energy on our side and we get Mr. Rogers trying to be neighborly to “our distinguished colleagues across the aisle.”
It's not like they've been punished for their outlandish shtick in the past.
Unless/until Republicans stop worrying about being called "names", they'll continue to slip further into irrelevancy, continue to surrender their power/influence.
When it comes to ACTUALLY standing up for standards and principles, being a REAL opposition party with REAL warfare tactics...
...the GOP MAN (particularly among the political class) has become... "The Invisible Man".
The age old axiom “bad news is better than no news” is a tried and true strategy. People read headlines and the MSM promotes a particular agenda.
The average voter simply recognizes a name.
Yes and no, respectively. The reason they promote anarchy is that it develops public demand for a police state to quell anarchy.
Blue America is trying to bully Magenta America.
Yes...cause the problem themselves, then they say “the other guys are the ones in charge so it is their fault.”
Dishonest, yes...but effective.
