The Democratic Media Complex tries to will a “Blue Wave” into existence every two years, and they finally got one.
Call it Trump fatigue, inflation fatigue, anti-ICE animus or disapproval of the Iran War, but when every statewide race in Texas flips to the Democrats (as appears likely now), that’s a blue wave.
The first inkling I had of how bad things were going to go was seeing Republican Ashley Moody barely break 50% in Florida.
Talafreako defeated Paxton. Evidently disgust over transing kids and the rest of the social justice warrior agenda wasn’t enough to to drown out the siren song of cheaper gas and free (i.e. taxpayer funded) stuff. Judging from the across-the-board statewide losses in Texas, running Cornyn instead of Paxton wouldn’t have made a lick of difference.
Brandon Herrera won’t be a U.S. Congressman.
Judging from results in the Rio Grande Valley, all of Greg Abbott’s long-term efforts to turn Hispanic voters into Republicans seems to have come undone this year.
Nationally, Democrats take the House and Senate, though not by large enough margins to overcome a Trump veto.
Abdul El-Sayed looks head for victory in Michigan, albeit the race looks much closer there. The Red/Green Commie/Jihadi alliance now has a greenlight to run Democrat priorities.
Republicans weren’t wiped out everywhere. It looks like Republicans will maintain control of the Texas House and Senate, so disarming the law-abiding and crippling the oil and gas industry are probably off the menu. Republicans won in places like Florida, Tennessee and Oklahoma.
But make no mistake: Losing Texas is going to hurt. Expect malicious prosecution of Elon Musk to be a top priority, as well as intransigence on keeping border security agreements Texas previously made with the Trump Administration, and expect the incoming Democrat attorney general to drop all lawsuits over anything touching on Democrat financial backers like Soros and Singham, far-left NGOs, voting fraud or subsidies for illegal aliens.
If there’s a silver lining, the size of the victory will likely embolden the Democrats worse impulses. “See, we should have been running socialists and jihadists all along!” It’s the DSA’s and Hasan Piker’s party now. And Trump Derangement Syndrome is the party’s real point of unification. Expect them to immediately try to impeach Trump again, and wage a full scale social justice culture war, because they won’t be able to help themselves.
And Republicans have a chance to bounce back in two years. There are no lost causes in American politics, because there are no won causes.
Possibly more later, if I feel up to it.
