Anybody who is in power in democratic countries is being voted out because of the economic turbulence of the COVID shutdown, whether left, center, or right.
If America is so overwhelmingly pro-Trump, why is this the slimmest House Majority in 35 years, and why didn't people like Kari Lake beat leftist opponents in states that Trump won?

I won’t be surprised if the pro-kremlin podcasters and even RT pundits latch onto Trump’s pro-colonialism posts and resultant social media discussions and use them to further justify the invasion of Ukraine.
I was not aware of the following russian propaganda reported by Newsweek when I posted the quote above.
On his evening show, Solovyov and his guests largely cheered on Trump's proposal to buy Greenland. Sergey Mikheyev, one of Solovyov's pundits said that Trump's proposal is in accordance with "the American mindset" that his predecessors attempted to "disguise and hide".
"Trump simply says it straight—we are everything and you are nothing," Mikheyev noted.
"This is especially interesting because it drives a wedge between him and Europe, it undermines the world architecture, and opens up certain opportunities for our foreign policy," MIkheyev said, adding that if Trump "really wants to stop the third world war, the way out is simple: dividing up the world into spheres of influence."
Stanislav Tkachenko, a top academic at the St. Petersburg State University also voiced his support for Trump's discussion of buying Greenland and said that Russia should "thank Donald Trump, who is teaching us a new diplomatic language."
"That is, to say it like it is. Maybe we won't carve up the world like an apple, but we can certainly outline the parts of the world where our interests cannot be questioned."
Solovyov, a known Russian propagandist and staunch ally of Russian president Vladimir Putin, often hosts political pundits and discusses American politics with them. He has previously said that Trump is in "no way" a friend of Russia's.

... and there it is...
and there's a thread over at the PT, and things I'm seeing on X and facebook, of people egging on a new map that extends the US from Greenland and Canada down to Guatemala... which is really funny, because that's adding a lot of Leftist votes in Canada and outright Socialists/Communists in Mexico.

The leftist multiculturalism open borders woke ideology is a total disaster and is being rejected worldwide. Policies regarding climate change are a total scam. Take a look at Germany, Canada, Great Britain, the US with Biden/Harris, France, the EU etc. etc. What do all of those have in common? Weak, feckless leadership that has put the interest of outsiders over their own people and sovereignty. How has that ideology worked out for those countries and it's people? The leaders of those countries either have been replaced or they are in danger of being replaced. Their policies have severely weakened their nations and the people are sick of it.
I agree, but in some cases right wing bad actors are the one seizing on the missteps of leftist leadership. And I say that as someone who is generally conservative.
Don't think that is the case in the US as a whole, but we have a few looney congressmen who are usually laughed out of serious discussions and are more loud than they are powerful (MTG).

What has happened is that there are now more registered Republicans than Democrats nationwide. First time in forever.

Yes, BUT how many Independents are there? And how many of those Independents are to the Left of the Democratic party?
Still, you know as I do it's an electoral college fight. Working-class African American and Latino American man just don't seem to show up for female candidates, but they didn't vote for Trump, either (his gains are as a percentage of those groups, not actual growth in numbers). Added to young Leftists who refused to vote because of Palestine (not a big group, but big enough in addition in certain places) and... that's the result we get.
But when the Democratic candidate for governor in North Carolina gets more votes that Trump, it complicates the "big mandate" story.

HELSINKI, Dec 26 (Reuters) - Finnish authorities on Thursday seized a ship carrying Russian oil in the Baltic Sea on suspicion it caused the outage of an undersea power cable connecting Finland and Estonia a day earlier, and that it also damaged or broke four internet lines.
The Cook Islands-registered ship, named by authorities as the Eagle S, was boarded by a Finnish coast guard crew that took command and sailed the vessel to Finnish waters, a coast guard official said at a press conference.
"From our side we are investigating grave sabotage," said Robin Lardot, director of the Finnish National Bureau of Investigation.
"According to our understanding, an anchor of the vessel that is under investigation has caused the damage," he added.
The Finnish customs service said it had seized the vessel's cargo and that the Eagle S was believed to belong to Russia's so-called shadow fleet of ageing tankers that seek to evade sanctions on the sale of Russian oil.

Georgia's people pretty clearly would rather be closer to the prosperous West than broke-arse Russia. This looks a lot like a replay of Ukraine.

An exit poll conducted today by Edison Research for the Georgian Parliamentary Election projects that the ruling Georgian Dream party will fall short of a majority in Parliament. Georgian Dream is projected to receive 41% of the vote, with four opposition parties combining for over 50% of the vote. In total, four opposition parties passed the 5% threshold needed to be eligible for seats in Parliament – UNM, Coalition for Change, Strong Georgia and For Georgia. Edison estimates that Georgian Dream will win 67 seats in the 150 seat Parliament, with the combined opposition parties winning 83 seats.

Russia has backed pro Russian but campaigned as the opposite sort of like how LouisianaTrial Lawyers back candidate who campaign as hard core conservatives but are anything but. This has happened for present and past governor, as well as state supreme court justices. Deals were already made behind the scenes before the any announcement of entering the race.

So Kamala lost because of Covid. That is just idiotic drivel. Open border policies played no role huh? People being tired of leftist Woke policies had nothing to do with it? An economy/inflation caused by runaway spending on worthless ventures is what Biden/Harris had.
You leftists just don't get it. Just keep thinking that way. You are going to lose many more of your leaders such as Scholz, Starmer, etc.

Because sadly America is made up of too many brain dead morons like you.

AOC and her buddies, Swalwell, Mad Maxine, etc.
