‘We got our butts kicked': Republicans reckon with Democratic success ahead of the midterms​

“We got our butts kicked,” said U.S. Rep. Tom Tiffany, who is running for governor.

He was referring to Democratic victories in campaigns for the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the mayor’s office in Waukesha, a conservative suburb outside Milwaukee. But some Republicans were also rattled by a special election in Georgia, where their candidate to replace Marjorie Taylor Greene in Congress won by a much slimmer margin than the party enjoyed in the past.

“In rural, urban, red, blue, Democrats have overperformed everywhere,” said Jared Leopold, a Democratic consultant whose clients include Keisha Lance Bottoms, a candidate for Georgia governor. “That is a significant canary in the coal mine about what November of ’26 is going to look like.”

Special elections can be notoriously unreliable as political benchmarks, but Democrats have consistently demonstrated surprising strength. They flipped a Texas state Senate district. They won a Florida state House seat in a district that includes President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach.

Then they gained ground on Tuesday in the race to replace Greene, who resigned from Congress in January after a falling out with Trump.

Georgia has key races this year, including an open contest for the governor’s office. Sen. Jon Ossoff, a Democrat, is trying to defend his seat as well.

In November, Democrats defeated two Republican incumbents in statewide races for seats on the Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities. Rising electricity rates have been a fault line in recent campaigns, especially as enormous data centers are built to power artificial intelligence.

I'm having trouble understanding the thought process of the TDS crowd. They want to 25th amendment Trump. Do they realize that JD Vance is basically a thunderdomer?

They want to do it before midterms so Vance can only get one term after.

ETA: "Basically?" I'm pretty strongly confident he's an active poster

Trump could say that breathing is important and TDS people would shit out articles about how breathing is actually bigoted.

>Democrats lose elections
>"if you lose elections, you win"
My understanding is Democrats performed better than expected in a few elections, but still lost. Is that not the case?
 
Islamophobia is fake and gay. It doesn't exist.

It is perfectly reasonable, logical, and bare minimum common sense to hate Islam and what it tells Muslims to do.

It's an ass-backwards, barbaric, goat fucking, and child raping religion full of people who want to kill you if you don't assimilate to them. And I'm not being the least bit hyperbolic when I say that ... It's fact.

When your religion tells you to chimp out when you see a dog, then you know I'm right.

Rather a thunderdomer than a pants on head shitting retard. I bet Vance would be smart enough to not get lead around the nose by jews.

There seriously needs to be a "Joos Derangement Syndrome" thread. It's getting just as bad as TDS at this point.

Take a good look at the current state of the West, especially in Europe (and very soon to be the United States if we don't get our shit together). I dare someone to try to convince me it's not Islam being the biggest threat to First World civilization.

Yeah I get it, there's some rich, shekel counting assholes who influence a lot of bad things ... But I don't think that the religion is to blame for that. It is very, very easy to see which religion is set to violently destroy our ways of life.

That's called /pol/.
Occasionally they make threads complaining about Kiwifarms because of Catch The Rainbow being allowed to exist on the site and saying that Jewsh's deplatforming problems would be solved if he called out the JQ more during his streams.

overall the article's main purpose is MAGA demoralization but it is true that Wisconsin's supreme court went from 4R-3L in 2020 to 5L-2R after this election and the previous one which was famous for Elon Musk trying to buy votes. news agencies are doing victory laps over the win because their gains have been modest at best everywhere else

Wisconsin is almost meaningless because once you get outside the city limits of Madison and Milwaukee, it's basically "The Hills Have Eyes: Innawoods Edition."

Occasionally?

Law 10 of The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene, "Infection: Avoid the Unhappy and Unlucky," advises that chronic misery and misfortune are contagious. Associating with those who create their own drama, negativity, or destructive circumstances will drag you down and affect your reputation and emotional stability, necessitating the cultivation of positive, prosperous relationships instead.
Core Principles of Law 10:
  • The Nature of Infection: People who are constantly miserable or facing crises usually bring them on themselves through their actions, rather than via bad luck. These individuals often act as victims but possess an intense negative energy that can profoundly affect you.
    • The Danger of Intervention: Trying to fix or save these individuals often results in becoming "infected" by their problems, dragging you into their drama.
    • The Strategy of Association: To protect your own well-being and maintain power, you must create distance and avoid these people.
    • Proactive Selection: Actively seek out and build relationships with people who are happy, successful, and positive to bring those qualities into your own life.

Distinctions in Application:
  • Targeted Avoidance: This law does not necessarily apply to those who are suffering from genuine misfortune beyond their control; it is specifically targeted at individuals who bring destruction upon themselves and others by habit.
  • Protect Your Reputation: Others may view you by the company you keep; associating with a "fated" individual can make you appear incompetent or unlucky by association.
How to Apply Law 10:
  • Identify Signs: Look for individuals who are constantly complaining, overly dramatic, or always involved in crises.
  • Create Distance: When you detect an "infector," pull back or completely cut ties, even if it is difficult.
  • Rebuild Your Circle: Surround yourself with positive, productive people who contribute to your growth rather than destroying your peace
