I'm not too worried about it. Each time they rig an election, it just means they need to rig it harder the next time and so on. More tyranny just leads to more defiance. Eventually, the Democrats will have to deal with 1776 commencing again if they maintain their corruption *and* keep ramming this country down the shitter.
Not really, it just means they get better at it next time. This is the third election cycle in a row that they’ve rigged, they’re actually getting quite good at it.
Arizona is looking to be uber fucked from all angles.
Arizona is the home of John McCain. He had a very powerful political machine in the state that went to shit once he died. Arizona has always been fucked.

The last time I had hope for Arizona was with Jan Brewer who fought against Eric Holder and GOP leadership for tough anti-immigration bills that had actual teeth to it and were actually enforced! The Jewdiciary struck down most of it but it was all done away with by Doug Ducey who was a Chamber of Commerce catamite that refused to enforce the hard fought immigration laws.

The state has been long since dysfunctional, held captive by business interests who are led by executives based in Phoenix and Tucson who agree with the Democrats on social issues but just want lower taxes for themselves.

I don't disagree with you but stealing elections never really works out well in the long run. By "steal it harder" I mean, they'll experience additional erosion of popular support. What's their actual popular support in the State right now? 30%? It's only going to get worse for them.

I do agree that their elections have been fraudulent since 2018. That just means they're going on 6 years and counting of quantifiable corruption. Eventually the house of cards collapses. Maybe they can get away with it if they maintain everyone's standard of living, but Marxists don't build anything, they only destroy. Remember, it took about half a century of tyranny before the original 1776 commenced.

Won't work. Look at the demographics. Old people (who disproportionately vote Republican) are dying, replaced by young people who even more disproportionately vote Democrat because years of propaganda. In addition, there's thousands upon thousands illegally immigrating to Arizona every month in addition to thousands and thousands of Californians moving there. They have the bare modicum of popular support they need, which is why they will keep stealing elections there as they did in 2022, 2020, and 2018.

Republicans also are picking really dumb hills to die on like abortion bans instead of something even Republican-leaning people overwhelmingly oppose like troon indoctrination. They also refuse to even try and address climate change (like I said, just attack the Green New Deal as a load of horseshit and say we'll go full renewable with nuclear power, easy victory) which is a major concern for younger generations. They're the party of stupid and now that MAGA candidates all universally lost this election, expect the stupid to continue.

I'm prepared to live in ultra clown world for the foreseeable future. The normies are not. I'm talking about long-term instability - you're right that Arizona is effectively blue for easily the next decade. If the normies need to starve and have their children be raped for a decade or two before they learn some fucking common sense, they can be my guest.

The reason there is hope for America, as opposed to cucked Europe is the defiant spirit of at least 30% of the population. These are also usually the most prepared population for hard times created by weak men.

The only cure I see for the illegal problem is nuclear hellfire or a draft in the run up for the next World War.

Then all those cockroaches will scatter very fast lol.

Though the thing about illegal labor is that Democrats want to keep leverage over those border tacos more than ever so time will tell how that DACA deal plays out.
 
Look at the demographics.
This is something that people are skipping past. 75% of the voters here were wypipo despite being less than 60% of the population. Black turnout was proportional to their population. That means that the contingent of baste latinks and azns that are supposed to save the day and turn out in droves didn’t actually materialize. Turns out those special elections weren’t actually a bellwether for anything, much like many of us were saying throughout the year. This is just to point out that there are no deus ex machinas to save the day.

If people want conservatives (who might actually conserve something), it’s going to require organizing and implement various get out the vote activities. Nothing substitutes action, the era of the multidimensional chessmaster is truly over and done with. Not that it ever worked but anyone who still advocates for “if I do absolutely nothing, I’ll get everything I want” is either stupid or malicious at this point.
 
What is the odds Trump suggests DeSantis as his VP pick to subvert the narrative?
Why would DeSantis want to accept that offer? He's just won a landslide in Florida against a seasoned Democratic opponent, while just about all of the candidates endorsed by and/or strongly aligned with Trump have severely under-performed. Why would the man who has just proven himself to be the GOP's biggest electoral asset going forward want to play second fiddle to a yesterday's man who is increasingly proving himself to be the party's biggest liability?

If DeSantis is smart, then he will borrow all of the things that Trump's traditional base like about Trump, while acting like Trump himself doesn't exist.

Seriously. Associating with Trump is political suicide and as we saw, DeSantis was able to win a decisive victory without any help from Trump at all. I’m not a DeSantis guy as I think he’s just a slightly spicier Jeb Bush but there is no upside for him to associate with Trump at all, only downside. Unless DeSantis wants to get tossed in prison for process crimes by the FBI after Trump throws him under the bus on something.

As you point out, the MAGA candidates underperformed. There is no incentive to associate with that rapidly sinking ship. Besides, Trump’s run is nothing more than a grift ala Stop the Steal where he ironically pocketed over $200 million of it. It’s perfectly legal to steal from contributions from your own campaign and thats exactly what he’s going to do here.
 
Remember, it took about half a century of tyranny before the original 1776 commenced.
Doomer faggots would do best to acknowledge this fact. On the timescales of historical events, the turning points that everyone pays attention to because they’re big and exciting are often preceded by decades of building-up tensions and bad decisions.

I feel like the doomer mindset is largely built around the childish expectation of wanting to see revolution NOW NOW NOW NOW NOW, and when each individual event fails to change the world in any tangible way, they think that because it didn’t work this time, it’ll never work ever.

A good recent parallel is the ongoing collapse of China. When the Evergrande shit
happened, you had a bunch of reactionary retards coming out with retard takes like “OMG CHINA FALLING IN 30 DAYS”, but just because those obviously retarded predictions didn’t come true doesn’t mean that China isn’t still currently in the middle of collapsing. It’s not gonna happen this year, it’s probably not gonna happen next year either… but just because it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t mean it’s never going to happen, because none of the underlying issues have been fixed, only patched over to keep things running for just a bit longer.

If you’re a boomer doomer who’s disappointed that you’re probably gonna die before things get better, that’s one thing. However, if you seriously believe that the left is currently in the process of successfully securing their thousand-year reich… jeez, get some fucking perspective.

Trump already brings in Florida. What state would DeSantis bring in over Trump? Honeslty, you people who think this was only about Trump are going to get disappointed.
 
I thought everyone knew this wasn't about just Trump.
Tell that to the dopes who think DeSantis, a guy who only got elected because of Trump (he was literally losing before Trump came an pushed him over the edge in his first election), will get a pass because his last name isn't Trump especially after the illegal immigrant fly-ins, etc. They were already circulating hit-pieces about him being Super Hitler, a More Effective Trump than Trump a few weeks ago.

Also the idea that it was "MAGA" that shackled some of those senate candidates is BS imo as well apart for the fact McConnel's PAC deciding to starve certain candidates out of office. JD Vance was more Trump aligned than several of those people, and he got over in part because McConnel wanted to keep the seat for the GOP.
 
I've meant to post this lulz before the election but I never could get a pic of the sign out in the wild. Anyhoo, AZ district 5 had this dude running under an Independent ticket.

Take a wild guess as to why it was he most likely lost.

Arizona's numbers don't add up​

By Dennis Lund

The media and the Democrats want us to believe that Kari Lake, along with others, lost because the “Red Wave” did not exist, and that close association with President Trump was the kiss the of death for Republicans. Really?

Let’s take a closer look at the numbers to see what actually occurred in Arizona.

When ballots are taken in by unethical people to control the election process, they do so by obtaining ballots from those mailed out in various regions of the state. The ballots are then filled out for their favored candidates. The focus is always on the so called ‘up-ballot’ races (president, senators, governors, and statewide offices). Ignored are the ‘down-ballot’ candidates: Congress and local legislatures. The reasons for this are twofold: time and ballot differences. The ‘up-ballot’ candidates are the same for the entire state. The ‘down ballot’ races are distinct for the locale of that particular precinct or district.

Let’s take a closer look at the numbers for the up-ballot races versus the down-ballot races.

The four up-ballot races, won by Democrats, were: governor, senator, attorney general, and secretary of state. Republican Kimberly Yee won for state treasurer.
Looking at those four races and taking the average of the votes for each position we have:
Democrats: 1,285,500 average votes per candidate
Republicans: 1,219,750 average votes per candidate
Differential is: 65,750 ( Lake is losing by 17,250 votes as of this writing)

Now let’s consider what happened in the congressional races. Arizona, which has nine congressional districts, only had seven races, as Democrats did not run candidates in two of the seven districts. Looking at the numbers we have:
Total votes in nine districts for Republicans: 1,369,000, which averages to 152,000 per district.
Total votes in seven districts for Democrats: 938,000, which averages to 134,000 per district.

Equalizing the average for the Democrats we would have 1,206,000 votes cast for Democrat members of Congress, compared to 1,369,000 votes cast for Republican members of Congress. In other words, it would appear that approximately 163,000 more votes were cast for Republicans than for Democrats.

Now compare that number to the up-ballot numbers, which indicate that about 98,000 more votes were cast for the Democrat candidates than for the Republican candidates.

The conclusion would be that about 68,000 voters who preferred the Republican for Congress voted Democrat for governor, senator, AG, and secretary of state.

Additionally, the numbers indicate that 150,000 more people voted for all nine Republican candidates than voted for the four statewide offices under consideration for this exercise.
Both of those facts defy logic. When we consider the travails of election day experienced by many voters, the unacceptably high numbers of equipment issues, and the fact that the Democrat secretary of state refused to recuse herself from the election tabulation, one has to believe that there were serious issues regarding the fairness of the election.
We cannot let this continue.

It's interesting how Lake is losing by about the same amount of ballots in "Box 3" that were just somehow merged into the counts over the past few days instead of being securely put aside like Maricopa said they were going to be.

I was watching Jimmy Dore last night, for reference a leftoid that hates Republicans but also hates shitlib democrats and progtards like AOC.

His crew made a good point last night that for those people who believe they were rigged out of an election, they should not concede at all and keep on fighting as possible, but never concede in the end.

Because it makes no sense that they believe they were cheated, and then all of a sudden go, "oh its fine" that they got cheated and believe the other guy is evil, but its fine lol.

But its pretty annoying to see this decorum bullshit if politicians believe they got cheated and then go like, we must protect the retarded system that is allowing cheating.

Something that is considered retarded outside the West but I guess indoctrinated fools want to cling onto America being unique.

"It can't happen here"

"We are not like those countries (shithole countries)"

I kind of agree with not conceding if any of these midterm candidates can help it, especially in this juncture. Think about it like this: Trump had a very limited time to try and find a legal way to challenge how he got defrauded out in 2020 - barely 9 weeks to act on the sudden stop of all the swing states that flipped for Biden.

At least in the case of these candidates, especially Kari Lake in particular, they have ample time to drag their cases through the courts, and better odds at standing given how long the vote count was dragged out along with the ballot machine malfunctions in suspiciously key places. It's rainbows all the way down, but unlike Trump's 2020 run, time is much more on the side of these midterm senate and governor candidates to prove malfeasance in their elections. Fingers crossed?

Climate change isn't important to anyone once you tell them it means taxing cow poop and ten dollar gas.

I'm also not interested in living next to a nuke, thanks. Before you tell me how safe it is, who makes sure of that? Oh yeah, the government. Not. Interested.

Fuck Arizona. We just dominated Iowa, Ohio. Would have won Wisconsin if it wasn't for ballot harvesting chicanery. Of the four biggest states we won by double digits 2 (Texas) 3 (Florida) and nearly flipped 4 (New York).

We control the House, only twelve of those seats weren't won by Trump in '20 and half of those will be offset with new maps giving us six seats in NC and Ohio.

At most, Dems will have 51 seats in the senate, if they manage to steal GA. That's for two years. Then 2024 comes and it's set to be a bloodbath. Joe Manchin is up in WV. Brown in Ohio. Tester in Montana. Lots of Dem seats.

Only question is whether GOP learns from last night, or whether they play the Trump/McConnel blame game.
