Looks like about what I expected and have predicted for months. 50/50 Senate, very slight Republican House. This is one of those times where it really sucks to be proven right. The Roe v. Wade ruling and lack of a coherent economic platform really screwed what should've been an easy Republican win, but like always, never underestimate the party of stupid.

I've experienced the same and it really is the goddamnedest thing. In the mid 2000s, all my friends and I were all staunch pro-liberty, pro-free speech, anti-authoritarian, fuck-you-I-won't-do-what-you-tell-me types.

Turns out I was the only one who actually held those principles and everyone else just did it because it was trendy at the time. Those same people talk about the necessity of hate speech laws to protect everyone's feelings on the Internet now.

Yup, know how that feels. It's insane how much people care about being on the right side of the "new thing". It was also amazing and terrifying how quickly free speech turned into a "rightwing fascist talking point" With actual leftist free speech award winners from the 60s and 70s (you know, the ones that fought to get soviet and communist propaganda into universities) now claiming openly and proudly (what many suspected and contended all along) that they never believed in free speech, only their speech, the "correct" speech from the beginning. And much like "race blindness" and so many other issues where the left flips their supposed core beliefs as soon as it becomes useful, nobody ever truly attempts to call them on it and the few that do get shutdown and laughed at.

Yeah, I seriously have and have had my suspicions about the timing of the abortion ruling, as well as the burst of other based rulings that play into MSM and leftist fearmongering with normies. A few key players on the court are of the old guard rep era and hold nothing but disdain for a party that actually fights back.

I actually kind of have to agree with the last one. It goes right along with what I said above. The old business men want their retirement job back and to stop fucking with the progressive agenda.

IIRC correctly they won't report until all voters in line have voted (so it might be another 30-60 minutes). Although there's also potential shenanigans afoot in Clark county:

I think that republicans did good considering that the media, the president, DHS, FBI, all hate you lol. Literally you have been called a threat to democracy, domestic terrorists, fascist, and they hoped Covid would kill you, Jan 6th. It’s all that legacy media journalists ever talked about and republicans weren’t allowed to have their voices heard fairly on mainstream social media until a couple weeks ago. At the beginning, all we could hope for was controlling House and it was a success, but we still have a chance at a win on the Senate.

I'm in the same boat. My expectations were actually pretty low going into this midterm but the result we're seemingly heading for is fine in my book. 2024 will probably be a lot more wild.
 
Alright. So I did some math, and at this point I don't think it is possible for Johnson to lose in Wisconsin. Even with the 22% left to count in Milwaukee, there just isn't enough left out there in the blue regions to make up the difference. Very, very narrow republican victory in Wisconsin is my prediction.

I have to give credit to Styx, he was mostly right with his predictions. The Right was going to win the House as well as some local victories with the courts and school boards. The Senate was always going to be a toss up with shady shit going on with them and Dems still holding on to their gubernatorial seats as Blue state voters are retarded. The real victories will come with local elections such as the courts and school boards and they are looking like they are leaning Red. It is from those you will see things begin to make some small but much needed changes.

Styx's predictions for the last few weeks and as of a few days ago were dead on, he only became a little over optimistic early tonight because the numbers coming out of Florida's remarkably efficient counting system were showing insane gains for the right.
