Honestly, I’m just really disheartened with the political system right now

We gave Republicans the House, the Senate, and the presidency, and what exactly have we gotten out of it? A war with Iran, $6 diesel, and a Congress that’s about to take a month-and-a-half recess.
At some point, just being “not the other guys” isn’t enough. If people keep voting a party in and that party never really delivers anything, eventually that catches up with them. That’s a recipe for disaster and nothing ever being accomplished.

Midterms are always challenging for the incumbent party.
This is an even steeper uphill climb.

It’s what happens when a bartender can get elected broke and be worth millions a year later.

We gave them a mandate. They let us down. One thing they did accomplish was to show us the lengths that the Swamp would go through to protect itself.

Our politicians don’t work for us or serve us. They care about money and their interests. They will always betray the American voter for their personal gain. Always. There are rare exceptions but they are the exceptions.
Donald Trump has proven during this term not to be an exception which is disheartening because he campaigned as the exception. Our politicians all work together while throwing culture war slop to keep us distracted.
James Talarico’s largest donor last cycle was Donald Trump’s largest donor during his most recent presidential campaign.
It is all a game, you aren’t voting your way out of it. (You also aren’t fighting your way out of it so I’m not sure what the solution is other than wait for these self-righteous, greedy politicians to accidentally create an economic catastrophe that resets things)

This is what the Americans voted…. Elect a clown, expect a circus

To be fair, the other option was an annoying clown.

Because Americans don’t have the will for the brutality of a fight like that.
Yes you can have successes on the battlefield with a guerrilla style rebellion, but what is the plan when the totalitarian state starts burning down entire towns in response to guerrilla skirmishes and executing the family members of known fighters. Americans don’t have the fortitude to go without internet for 36 hours. Go read up on what the Brits and Zionists did to the Arabs in the 30s in Palestine. The Arabs fighters had absolutely nothing to lose and were all essentially homeless and even then they still couldn’t withstand the savage military tactics on innocent civilian populations and the movement folded.

You are not alone.

Maybe the republicans could have chose a better option as well? At this point, anything would be better than this fool

Sad but true assessment, m. Albeit you omitted the effects of ideological Transnational Progressivism (aka Globalism, One World Order, et al) as such has ruled Academia for decades and become the intellectual basis for the Dem Party and many Republicans.
Your “create a catastrophe “ and “reset “ is the likely the future scenario. Depending on how bad said catastrophe was. Archeological evidence points to previous civilizations far more powerful than our current one. Progression towards extraordinary power and then collapse may be the norm. My high school Coach used to say that “some people can’t handle success “. More wisdom there than even he realized.

Honestly I don't think there is a better option anymore. There is the stuff they say on the campaign and then the stuff they do once they are in office. Problem is, 99.9% of the time those two never align.

Be disheartened but be thankful that you have this and not what was the other choice

Never again will a small percentage of republicans be considered a mandate as you have in that group RINO’s and people that are scared to speak out. You’re going to need overwhelming numbers to get that outcome.

Incorrect.
You gave the UNIPARTY the house.
Republicans are controlled opposition. As a former lefty, we have always known this to be true.

I can understand being frustrated but I have no idea how that frustration then turns into "let's elect the same jew hating, terrorist loving, open borders, the US sucks" trash we had the previous four years. Things arent ideal but they can and will get much worse once Dems are back in charge. Do you not believe them when they say what they're gonna do when back in power? I guarantee you its a lot worse than high gas prices.
