Matt Walsh taking the blackpill
Not a blackpill. He is completely correct.
Im not disappointed nor shocked at “here comes the Zohan” winning the nyc mayorship. It’s about what I expected, being shocked a lefty faggot won leftist seat is being surprised that water is wet. But nonetheless the less I found some rather funny libtard twitter posts, proclaimed that “woke is back” yeah woke is back becuase a single mayor in a blue state won a seat. Also “no body Messi’s with the zohan” is Islamic and last i checked they don’t tend to have high views on most thing liberals care for. If this were any other time in history Zoie’s win would indicate a nation has been successfully conquered and its people now slaves to their new masters.
Let them feel joy. This still should be a time of introspection.
 
No, you really don't. In the short term, it seems like a good idea, but long-term it can fuck you. If the Senate and House flip (which they will if things continue on this road), the Democrats will use the lack of filibuster to demolish anything Trump tries to do.
The Senate won't flip in 2026. The seats just aren't there. Maybe in 2028 if they have an insanely good performance, but that's beyond wishful thinking.
 
Crossposting my thoughts from the Jay Jones victory thread:

It really is baffling how the state GOP's in so many probable battleground states are so miserably incompetent at any basic politicking. VA GOP, one of the most useless in the nation, just got wiped. NJ GOP failed. PA GOP, despite holding much of the House and Senate in the state, failed to remove the judicial tumors in their supreme court. Can you blame this on Trump? Possibly. Were the Dems holding out on the shutdown specifically to gain ire and affect the election? I can believe that.

But what this is definitely in my view, is an indictment of the GOP as a whole. They had the country on a platter, a DNC that was divided and nationally hated, everything going for them, and they still fucked it up abysmally. Worst part is that they won't learn from this, they'll blame Trump, or MAGA, blame literally any factor except the fact that the old guard of the Republican party is as useless as the DNC's old guard. Problem of course is the DNC's new club is full of psychotic but politically savvy socialists, the GOP is saddled with retards in suits trying to emulate their paymasters and keep losing with dignity. The only, and I mean ONLY silver lining is that maybe Trump can figure out that something is definitely wrong and right the ship, because it was better to lose these elections first before the actually important midterms.

Probably won't, but let a boy dream, eh?
 
Did the communist guy in New York and the psycho eyes lady in Virginia win?

I fucking hope so. I do love gifts.

Democrats are so demented right now. It is manna from heaven.
 
No, woke is back because the right was too busy screeching about Tucker Carlson to keep their eye on the ball. Meanwhile Trump's approval rating divebombed over the past few months. The era of gay race communism is now.
I thought I was up to date on politics, but apparently not, because I didn't hear shit about this Tucker whining that apparently took up 90% of the news cycle.
 
Those people aren't going to do shit for affordability
of course not, but they're the only people talking about the problems young people have so naturally they're going to appeal to them.

Trump is slightly better on this than the average right wing politician but the republicans are going to need to have a come to Jesus moment soon as the boomers die off, The strategy has always been to abandon the young to leftism because "they'll become right wing once they have a house and a family" but less and less people are able to do that.

We do well when the major issue of the day is trannies and woke shit but when that stuff is on the back burner and the main issue for a lot of people is affordability you realize the right is severely lacking because the Neocon economic philosophy is just to maybe do some minor tax cuts but ultimately keep the status quo, keep the imaginary line going up and protect the boomers housing prices at all costs. It's an obviously failed economic system and the people affected the worst by it will gravitate towards those acknowledging it and claiming to want to fix it, regardless of how retarded and blatantly evil their proposals are.
 
Think of it this way, democrats are 100% going to open the government after the election results to save face. If republicans take that little bit of positive news away from them it'll hurt them heavily among several voting demographics, and even with rhinos they can still pass voter id laws because even rhinos agree to that.
Just like they had the votes to repeal Obamacare after saying they totally would, right?

You really, really think that Collins or Murkowski or McConnell wouldn't tank that to own Trump?
