So it looks like election 2022 is finally over (well, for the most part). Before I get back to posting about the usual things I tend to write about on here, I would like to take a few moments to give my assessment of Tuesday’s election results. For those of us on the broad Right (both dissident and normie), I’m sure the results were disappointing.

Sadly, this didn’t really happen, as we...
