The circular firing squad is in session and a red wave, which had a thousand aspiring proud papas, is instead an orphan.
Everyone is blaming everyone else. As they should.
The midterms showed that we learned little from 2020. Few Republicans, outside Florida and Georgia, were ready for the systematic corruption of elections by the tide of Democrat ballots backed by massive voter registration machines and the new pandemic rules.
Republicans were played even worse this time around.
Then there was everything else. Republicans went into this as a divided party torn apart by infighting, internal politics, ego, personal agendas, greed and dysfunction and emerged the same way. Maybe even worse.
Consultants, celebrities and private agendas, as well as post-2020 infighting, kept good candidates from being nominated.
And while there were good candidates who lost, but there were also horrendously bad ones beginning with Mehmet Oz in Pennsylvania whom no functional party in touch with its principles or even basic sanity would have ever put its best for on the Senate.
Who’s to blame for that? Everyone.
There is no single scapegoat for this. Everyone who shaped the election gets a share of this disaster. And arguing otherwise is dishonest.
Going into this election, the Democrats were united and they had a plan. Republicans were divided and didn’t.
This was much less of a money issue than a party issue. Republicans lack a worldview, messaging, a real agenda and a systemic plan for winning. In its place, everyone is carving up the party for their own private agendas.
The rest naturally followed.
Democrats despise democracy.
Progressives prevent progress.
Power doesn’t depend upon either. They are distractions, and useful only as misdirection and red herrings.
Why did the Bolshevik party adopt the name majority party when they weren’t?
Because they were dealing with political children.
They still are.
Trump lacked an organization, understandably, when he won in 2016 using a media campaign. He had none on 1/6/2021 when it would have prevented disaster. He has none now, either. So, when push came to shove, his candidates predictably got no love from the regular GOP organizations, and hadn’t their own people resources to do their best. Trump is not a builder of political organizations. Loosely organized cronies don’t get it done. Rallies and broadcasts don’t get it done. Ranking people out doesn’t get it done, unless the target is Hillary Clinton, but that was yesterday.
In other words no recognition for his sincerity, superhuman hard work, and immense sacrifice while the alternatives launder billions and enrich selves and family. No gratitude but a litany of political failings.
Well, that’s what matters most. And apparently for the lack of a political machine, we pay with our individual liberty, freedom, rights, our children’s safety. and future.
Once again Trump is found guilty by small minds.
If you think Trump isn’t as corrupt as all the other politicians, Repub and Dem, and enriching himself and his family at the expense of our country and democracy then you are not living in reality.
I voted for him because he was an outsider, unindentured, unencumbered.
If, after all of this character assassination, at frigging last, deadbang proof of criminal culpability actually exists, please spit it up for examination.
Otherwise, how is this claim is indistinguishable from the random ex cathedra slurs from any prevaricator we’ve endured for over half a decade?
You’re deranged.
Yeah, Trump had it made financially before all this, I think he lost money due to the political stuff.
So give him a well-deserved Lifetime Achievement Award but move on to create a MAGA organization at all levels and to aggressively combat voting fraud. Trump neglected the former and and only whined about the latter.
I have a platform I could have given them. If someone can show me math that shows America had any chance of survival after Cruz lost the primary, I will feel bad for not doing something then and still do nothing for others now. It’s pretty simple really, I don’t see how you guys fall into things like welfare with the alternatives.
We’re at a point where I can roll Buggatis out of my garage by throwing metal at it and you’re arguing over tuna due to diesel increases.
Even outside of politics, is there any group in any area that can be trusted? As far as I can do the math the safest place to invest over the next 100 years is shelters under the ground in Israel, so long as the government or anyone public is unaware of their location.
Trump had nothing to do with this entirely predictable debacle. The GOP did this to us. They refused to acknowledge the vote fraud by the Left and did nothing to fix it. And why? Because they’re owned by the Left and their obedience is rewarded with money and power and nifty places to vacation like Epstein’s island. I don’t understand how anyone believed in any “Red Wave” in the face of all that obvious fraud with absolutely no consequences. That goes beyond willful blindness. I’m not sure there’s even a term for that depth of denial.
My advice for conservatives: get thee and thine to a truly Red state NOW.
Democrat plan: Lie about the intentions of Republicans and their supporters, have the media back it up, the culture singing it to the low IQ voter. Oz is a bad candidate compared to Fedderman? On what planet Daniel? It’s the lowIQ groupthink of the Democrat voter that got us here, they voted for these frauds. I agree about the voting mechanisms, but in blue states, why would they want to change a winning strategy? We certainly don’t want the feds to take over. The republicans had a plan restore and save the Republic from what we assumed was easily understood and observed destruction by democrats. Apparently, we need to lower our IQ’s and work to win the purple haired indoctrinated zombies in the end of alphabet generations.
A Muslim leftist who supported mutilating kids, and a rich guy from New Jersey who absolutely could not connect with either the GOP base or swing voters is a terrible candidate.
Oz was a “terrible” candidate compared to Fedderman? What have you been smoking? You have this vision of Trump because you’ve bought into the relentless, endless hammering that man has endured. Endured for who? You fool!
Oz was not a “terrible” candidate, he was an imperfect one. Fetterman WAS a terrible candidate: physically and mentally damaged by a stroke that rendered him barely capable of coherent speech; he is obese; he dresses in a slovenly manner like an insolent teenager; and he looks like a character from a Halloween horror movie.
Yet Fetterman won. This was only possible with help from a media which not only ignored his limitations but tried to turn them into virtues or assets. NO Republican candidate would have been treated the same if they possessed any of those weaknesses.
