Obviously republicans got trounced but was that only in Kentucky? I truly have no idea even what elections took place as I’ve been so demoralized and haven’t paid attention.

Everyone is infatuated with abortion.

The end.

People don’t care, turnout too low to effect change.

I'd also appreciate an actual summary rather than some doomerism and quips. I know I could go on to news sites, but I don't want to give them clicks and don't trust their spin.

Best I can tell is that an abortion proposition won in Ohio, KY's Dem incumbent got re-elected against a black republican, and purple VA flipped the legislature to Dem.

Anything else? If not the doomerism seems excessive.

It isn't purple, it's blue. Youngkin got elected because of that school issue back in 2021. Now that that has died down, VA can go back to being blue.

Trump is a noose around the Republican Party but it’s being spun that it’s abortions fault.

So much winning…

This isn't going to improve your morale. Newsom, Whitmer or Big Mike can run a pro choice campaign and address nothing else and they'll win handily.
Ronna McDaniel MUST go. Her replacement will need a new strategy. She is totally inept.

Virginia is blue at the national level and purple at the state level.

Bingo.

Of course his sycophants will scream it's not his responsibility while also bragging he is the leader of the republican party.

Republican party is stuck in the 1900s. Abortion is the hottest button by miles, and Republicans are failing miserably at it.

Apparently COVID didn't do a good enough job at clearing out the old geriatric politicians and voters keeping the GOP stuck in the dark ages.

Believing a fetus is not a distinct human with its own genetic code and can be killed at will is the Dark Ages thinking, not recognizing his/her rights and protecting him/her from being slaughtered in the uterus. Yours is upside down primitive thinking.

Great. That makes the doomerism seem even more uncalled for, but yet this board seems to be melting down hard. I am unclear why.

People want to make grand declarations. The Trump supporters wanted Younkin to lose the VA legislative body to dampen his national prospects in 2024 and the anti-Trump faction was pleased that Trumps endorsed candidate lost the KY governor's race. Now they argue about abortion.

Or maybe it's the other way around. The GOP is pathetic and nutless.

Haha and yet he will get more votes than any other Republican in history.

But he is the noose, not the GOPe that nobody cares for anymore. Youngkin sucked in his state and he is gope. Ky had an incumbent. And Ohio had low Republican turnout, possibly because there was nothing or no one worth fighting for on this ticket.

But, yeh, Trump is holding the gop back…clown World

Core culturally conservative ideas are unpopular

The conservative figurehead is a clownish figure who won't defend those ideas and will often attack those who do
