After my talk with DataRepublican, the left will come for us.​

After my talk with DataRepublican, I'm convinced they'll try to make chaos around this election.

Five countries fell.

America is the last one standing.

Our only weapon is the ballot. Use it today.

Early indications are looking very blue. This is trumps fault. He made a bunch of promises last election and kept very few of them.

One he kept was to shut down the border and attempt to deport a bunch of these illegals. Unfortunately the democrats plan to import a shit ton of refugees has paid off. Looks like that was enough to get things to turn blue and after this election they should remain blue forever.

Trump promised no more endless wars, lower prices, lower fuel prices and an end to the Ukraine war. None of that happened and we have the highest prices ever seen in the grocery stores and at the gas pumps and we have us a billion dollar a day war in the ME.

I had very low expectations from the start as many of you know. I think he is a liar and a fraud and now a lot of is former supporters probably agree with me. Many of us in the older age group looked at him as sort of a last chance for America. He failed us miserably so now the left will take over.
Once they are in full control the NGO's will be lodaed back up with cash and borders will be wide open again. The left wont have to worry about elections in the future, they have hit the numbers needed for critical mass and there is no turning back.

Yea, because what the Dems will do will be SO much better.

Too many are just plain too stupid to know what's in their own best interests.

It's beyond idiocy to complain about affordability, and then elect the party that wants to flood the nation with immigrants (both legal and illegal) who will do nothing but increase demand for food and housing, thereby driving the prices of those things even higher.

During Biden's four years, we let in over 10 million people while creating less than 2 million new places for people to live. (1.6 million, to be exact)

Not tot mention the fact that they increase the demand for jobs, and therefore keep wages lower than they would otherwise be.

We're lucky if we create 2 million new jobs a year. If immigrants total 2.5 million people per year, (average under Biden) that's a half million too many people, and they'll just end up on the gov dole.
......and that's ignoring the jobs that our own young people entering the work force each year will need.






It's as though most people have zero clue as to what supply and demand is.
.....and have forgotten what the Dems did during Biden's term.

Ie: which is why I say the majority seem to have a shorter attention span than a goldfish has.
 
No one said it would be better with the left in control. I think people are just waking up to the fact that if trump cant fix things in the US then the US is toast. Voting no long matters even though I voted straight R today. The fact is that in Ohio there are 8 million registered voters, a little over 4 million actually voted.

More illegals, more bombs, more war. We aren't voting our way out of this mess and at this point in time the US would be better off with any government. No government would mean no taxes. This government steals our money and uses it against us to bring in more of what we dont want. More illegals, more bombs and more war. We end up funding everything we dont want.

Fair fight. From what I've heard T has congratulated the dems and said he understood about high gas prices having an effect on the outcome.

Trump Congratulates Democrats After 2026 Midterm Wins​

President Donald Trump publicly congratulated Democrats on their midterm election victories, saying he looks forward to working with them — but also emphasized Republicans’ losses were partly due to his absence from the ballot The Hill+1.

Key statements and tone​

In a phone call with CBS News, Trump said, “My message is congratulations to the Democrats, and I look forward to working with you for the good of our country” The Hill+1. He added that he believed Democrats would want to collaborate, warning that if they didn’t, he would “just veto everything” and that such a stance would not be sustainable Yahoo+1. On Fox News, he credited Democrats for doing “a good job” and “fighting hard” The Hill+1.

Context of the election results​

Democrats won control of both the House and Senate, flipping key Republican-held Senate seats in Texas, South Carolina, and Kansas The Hill+1. Trump attributed the Republican losses to his absence from the ballot, writing on Truth Social, “If I was, we would have won… IN A LANDSLIDE!” The Hill+1. He also said some voters “didn’t like the candidates” and that in some cases those candidates were “not my friend” CBS News.

Political positioning​

While offering congratulations, Trump reiterated his willingness to use his “total veto power” to block Democratic legislation, suggesting this could force cooperation Yahoo+2. He also acknowledged the difficulty of losing for Republicans, saying, “Losing is a tough thing” The Hill.

Additional remarks​

Trump said he was “absolutely willing” to work with Democrats on issues like the debt ceiling Reality Tea, and defended his record, calling the first two years of his second term “the most successful two-year period in the history of any president” Reality Tea. He also reiterated that the war with Iran would end “when I say it’s over” CBS News+1.

Live Pennsylvania election results: Governor's race, congressional elections, state legislature races​

Pennsylvania voters are sending Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, back to the governor's mansion. Shapiro easily defeated Republican challenger Stacy Garrity to win a second term, CBS News projects.

Every U.S. House of Representatives seat is on the ballot, and Pennsylvania voters could play a role in determining the balance of power in Congress. Pennsylvania state House of Representatives seats are also up for grabs, along with half of state Senate seats.

Yea, they won the Gov, Lt. Gov and just about every Statewide office that was on the ballot. Even State board of Education seats. This is wild.
