America Is Angry and Hates Joe Biden, But Blue State Voters Have Stockholm Syndrome

TFP , , , , , , , , , ,

The 2022 red wave failed to materialize and I am baffled. A majority of voters are unhappy, feel the country is headed in the wrong direction and emphasized issues that worked against the Marxist Democrats. What the Hell happened? Are blue state voters masochists? Do they have Stockholm Syndrome? Do they hate the GOP that much that they would vote for a human potted plant – Fetterman? There is going to be a lot of Monday morning QB-ing on this but here are few thoughts.

Red states got redder. The fear that the great migration away from Marxist blue states (CA, NY, NJ, IL, MI) would turn Texas and Florida blue were totally unfounded, fortunately. Florida was a bloodbath for the Marxists and Texas got redder. So red states are either attracting conservatives or flipping Democrats. Anecdotally it seems that in red states the GOP won by A LOT while the margins were much closer for Dems in blue states. Migration and demographics. Add to that some weak candidates – thank you Trump, I am done with you politically. PA was lost and GA is still in play while both of them should have been easy wins. Trump handpicked Oz and Walker and if they both lose it is on him. Then add in early voting, a national disgrace. Oz won PA easily on election night, but millions of votes were cast before Shrek’s awful debate performance. Very sad. Finally throw in some likely fraud and there you have it. Many states still have a long way to go to clean up their elections.

To make matters worse, an awful “voting rights” referendum passed in Michigan that will enshrine into the Constitution many things that solidify fraud, like drop boxes and early voting. The only hope is that it is struck down by court challenges. Michigan also passed a referendum enshrining the right to kill the unborn and re-elected the Witches of Eastwick, who practically destroyed the state in 2020. How stupid are people in Michigan? All the smart ones have probably left for Florida.

Democrats Are Soiling Their Pants

TFP , , , , ,

A conservative Mexican American women slaughtered a leftist Democrat in a D +12 district in a south Texas special election in a district that had not had a Republican representative in over 150 years. The Democrap Party stands to get a deserved butchering in the November election if this is any indication. The Red Wave may be a tsunami.

Ron DeSantis Is The Greatest Leader in America Today

TFP , , , , , , , ,

He is showing the way on how to crush the Marxist Democrat Party. His latest endeavor is to sign a bill mandating that Florida schools teach actual civics including the dangers and evil of communism:

Ron DeSantis, Florida governor: Students will be taught that communism is evil – Washington Times

This is a move so obvious, yet so brilliant that I cannot believe another governor hasn’t thought of it. DeSantis has consistently shown himself to be smart, bold, courageous and absolutely unafraid of the leftist mob. Among his accomplishments: protecting Florida’s vulnerable population from Covid and having a mortality rate far below most “blue” states despite an aged population. Refusing to shut down and crush Florida’s economy which is now booming like few others. Presiding over a historical in-migration of refugees from failing blue states. Banning critical race theory and now this. I suspect other governors will copy his latest…we need 20-30 states to adopt such truth-based education, not the left-wing America-hating racialist trash that Democrats want and leftist academics have been successful promoting for the better part of the last 25 years.

The left is utterly terrified of DeSantis and for good reason. Expect the attacks on him to accelerate, but with little effect.

Perhaps The Best Political Ad I have EVER Seen!

An (Attempted) Objective Assessment of The 2018 Election

TFP , , , ,

Well, that was fun. Regardless of the outcome, I, like probably 99% of Americans, am glad it is over. Context first:

In the Senate the GOP had a clear advantage with 26 of 35 races being Democrat seats and many of them being in GOP-friendly states. In the House the GOP faced an uphill battle with close to 50 retirements and historical trends pointing to the party in power typically losing 30 seats or more, and up to 63 (Obama). The Dems needed 23 to flip the House. The story was similar among state governors where the GOP had a number retiring or term-limited and started with an all-time record 33 governors.

The good: the GOP is poised to gain a net three Senate seats pending the outcomes of Florida and Arizona and the Mississippi run-off, the latter a near-lock as the state had two Republicans run, diluting the vote. This would take them to 54 with pick-ups in ND, Indiana, Missouri and Florida and one narrow loss in Nevada. They also appear to have lost Montana, unfortunately, by a few thousand votes. The Senate controls the judiciary and a large part of legislation, so expanding their number is huge to Trump and the GOP, especially with the electoral map being less Senate-friendly to them in 2020.

The not very good: the GOP lost control of the House as expected, but so far the losses are a net 26 (29 lost, 3 gained) so not as bad as many feared or projected. Furthermore, over half of these came from a mere six states: NY, NJ, VA, PA, IA and IL. A few more losses are expected perhaps bringing the number of total seats lost to around 30 or a little higher. This was not the “Blue Wave” that the Democrats and far-left media had been trumpeting. Dare I say, if the GOP had a more normal retirement number of 20-25, they likely would have held the House? On the governor’s side, the GOP appears to have lost seven states while gaining one, while the Dems picked up 7. Again, about as expected. Not great but given the all-time high of 33 states held, the GOP really had no place to go but down.

With this, I would say both sides largely held serve, and call it a minor loss for the GOP. Winning a couple more Senate seats and holding a few more governors or keeping the House would have been a huge win for the GOP and Trump, and they were not that far off. This was not a resounding Dem victory: do not listen to the corrupt media propaganda calling it such. But it was also not a victory for Trump, despite the way he is positioning it.

Time For “Conservative” Never-Trumpers to Come Home

TFP ,

Great stuff from Dennis Prager. Those who claim to be Republicans or conservatives need to get behind the President now. Prager makes the important point that some of these people do not understand that we are in a civil war with the far-left. Others are snooty elites, or are simply engaged in ex-post rationalization: they did not support Trump before so they cannot now.

If you told any of these people that their President appointed a conservative constitutionalist to the Supreme Court, bombed Syria, started to roll back Obamacare, rescinded hundreds of crippling regulations, proposed a budget with massive cuts, and condemned Iran in front of the Muslim world, all in the first 100 days, they would be jumping for joy if it was not Trump.
