I would like to share some information from California, the most liberal state in the nation.

Newsom winning is no surprise.

But his margin of victory is way way down from the recall that was last year and his first gubernatorial.

And Los Angeles will most likely vote in Caruso.

This time Biden really will forgive my debt!! Honest!!

Zoomers pretty much lost the right to whine about how Boomers and early Gen-X'ers sold the world. I look forward to hammering these stats down their throats and recieivng cope like "Oh as if voting for the other xir would've been better!" and "We couldn't have possibly known at the time based on the data and information at hand!"

Let them enjoy never owning a house, bleeding whatever their generational wealth is dry, and going unemployed as Juanita and Pablo agree to a 60% less wage in every retail job they prize so much.

Also I never trusted Trump. I liked what he did as president, but he always seemed like an Egotistical Billionaire, the fact that he's attacking DeSantis now because he's jealous of the coverage and the general perception that DeSantis is like Trump, but with tact just shows how shallow Trump is.

Trump is perfectly wiling to attack his best ally in the Reddest State because he doesn't like that, according to the media, some people might like DeSantis more than him.

It's not that people like DeSantis more than him. It's that Trump's enemies (Paul Ryan, Karl Rove, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy) are lining up behind DeSantis in an effort to destroy him. He takes this really personally because DeSantis was a friend, and Trump is more-or-less responsible for his career. Remember, DeSantis was nobody before he ran for Governor, and he was down in the polls until Trump endorsed him. Because of that endorsement DeSantis was able to pull off a slim .4% win and now he's the best Governor in the country who TROUNCED his opponent second time around.

It is true that Trump has a fragile ego, but to see a popular conservative whose career you helped build turn around and cosy up to Paul Ryan would piss off anybody
 
I have to agree with everyone saying that this midterm was fucked because of the Gen-Z voters. As someone who is apart of Gen-Z myself, I can say that for most of my life every time an election came around we were always told how important it was to vote in every election that we can participate in. That in itself isn’t a bad view, but when the left control the entire media and all social media websites and essentially all forms of information distribution, it creates a group of voters who are indoctrinated by the left and also will reliably turn out to every election. In the past the Rights biggest strength was that leftists voters would not turn out because they have always had the numbers advantage. Now we’re seeing what happens when they actually get their asses in gear and it doesn’t look good for us in my opinion

I remember how years ago people talked about the Zoomers being the most based generation that will finally turn back the leftist tide, so far it doesn't look that.
Though I don't get how they have an impact considering they are well know to be the least reliable voters who'd waste the day smoking weed rather than go vote.

Yeah I remember that too, and the thing is they said this when Zoomers hadn't even gone to College yet.

It seems FL is now so red (thanks to Trump and Desantis) that as long as Ron has someone in mind to carry on it can work.

Let it not be forgotten that Doug Ducey, the RINO governor of Arizona, has done nothing about the shitshow in his state, and was the head of the Republican Governor Association which let so many races fall apart. Mastriano might have been a long shot but not in Kansas, or Michigan.

edit: tongue in cheek but true

Trump destroyed himself. He's projecting onto DeSantis and putting the entire party in jeopardy as a result. I don't think Orange Man is bad, but I think Orange Man is very stupid and very ego driven.

It seems strange for people in this thread to actually buy the party line that "zoomers came out of the walls to defend the DNC".

Everyone here knew (or should have known) the dems would "fortify" in the states they could get away with it and yet so many of you are just buying this absurd narrative that a great number of elections were not rigged.

Because its true. Zoomers are retards with zero attention span who believe anything you tell them hook line and sinker.

It's a whole generation where the majority are actually functionally brain dead and can't think for themselves due to all the social engineering they've been raised on.

Biden basically bought their vote by bringing the claim of student loan forgiveness back after a year of acting like he never promised it. Democrats can dangle that in front of zoomers like a treat any election year.

Hey it doesn't sound so bad. I'm honestly at the point where I'm rooting for the collapse of the dollar so these people have to vote in their interests again instead of for the historical oligarch's affiliation.

Honestly at this point I doubt even a second Dark Age would result in a significant Democrat defeat even if Republicans were literally bringing technology back.

Men, College+ is interesting. They shifted red by more than men with no degree.

I suppose part of it is that they had more room to shift, and they are still less red overall, but I would not have expected them to change even if it was easier for them to.

Such a shame they don't break up college+ by degree level and discipline.

Mastriano might have had a better shot if the RINOs hadn't conspired to pull his funding

What projecting? This is literally what DeSantis is doing. Look at his list of donors. Look at Fox News, who always hated Trump and seem to be the only 'Republican' outlet who can find these mass amounts of people who want DeSantis over Trump. Pretty much every 2024 Republican Primary poll has Trump leading by at least 30 points but you would be forgiven for thinking otherwise if all you watched was Fox News

Black women are openly advocating for aborting their own black male children to fight white supremacy, the patriarchy, and misogyny.

No, I am not making that up.

Note: I'm not expecting you to watch a 3 1/2 hour video. I just want to prove to you that this video exists ON YOUTUBE.

 
I was dooming last night, but after a good sleep it's still a decent day for the GOP. If Nevada holds, and Lake holds I think that'll be a big boost coming into 2024. Arizona will have a real chance to clean things up if Lake and the downballot GOP reps can get in. It's not all doom and gloom. You can't fix the country in one midterm cycle. Hell, if Dahle can get within 15 points of Newsom, I think that's a win for California. Things ARE changing across the board.

I have my complaints about Trump but he's been in in the limelight since before DeSantis could walk (Trump got into business the same year DeSantis was born iirc). He knows how the media works, particularly the mainstream news cycle, and he gets how things spread through social media more than 75% of our politicians. Does he slip up and say retarded shit due to ego/boomer brain sometimes, sure. Anything beyond some offhanded, candid comment is said for a reason. Trump's snapping at DeSantis is a deliberate shot across the bow, maybe because he sees DeSantis as a possible threat for 2024 (DeSantis would be foolish to leave his current position imo) or maybe because of some backroom convos we'll never hear about. He chose to do it before DeSantis' election because he was confident DeSantis would win, so he wouldn't get blame for a DeSantis loss.

I was confident DeSantis would win but seeing him crush Crist so thoroughly was satisfying. As for the midterms as a whole, looks like purple states didn't go as red as predicted and some blue states didn't say as solidly blue as predicted. Never trust the Republicans not to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory, but honestly this isn't as blackpilling to me as some others seem to think. Gen Z is full of retarded liberals which is really no surprise; I wonder if Musk's plans to kneecap botting on Twitter will have downstream effects for later elections, with Gen Z not being shovel-fed liberal echo chamber talking points as ferociously.
 
You'll see plenty of "totally conservatives" start going on and on about how Trump is destroying the GOP. They talk about it as if the GOP has won ANYTHING in...how many decades now? Seriously, what the fuck has the GOP actually managed to conserve in the US during all this time that they totally weren't losing in the Before Trump times?

They really act like they were winning anything. Even when they did win elections, the country still managed to slip even further. SAD.
