My thoughts on what happened last night

The party out of power usually has the advantage, but the GOP’s problems go beyond that.
People are tired of the wars. You can’t run on keeping the country out of war and fixing the economy, then fail to deliver on both and expect voters to stay motivated.
A lot of Trump’s supporters are working-class people, not wealthy donors. When the economy hurts them, they don’t necessarily turn around and vote blue. Sometimes they just stay home. You can lose voters without losing them to the other party.
Trump is also his own worst enemy. He won’t stop talking, and his ego gets in the way—especially when it comes to candidates. Being able to push a handpicked candidate through a Republican primary doesn’t mean that candidate can win a general election. Those are different electorates.
Meanwhile, the GOP hasn’t given ordinary voters much they can point to as a meaningful accomplishment since taking power.

That’s basically fricking it. It’s not rocket science. People didn’t magically just turn into leftists or pack certain states with them the past two years enough for that kind of result.
Trump peaked before Covid. After that, it just hasn’t been good.

Trump spent the last two years doing the exact opposite of everything he campaigned on.
That's why it was a bloodbath

Republicans are fighting a blue wave and he is writing 1,300 word screeds about Bill Maher on social media instead.

Trump campaigned on closing the borders, mass deportations, tariffs, ending DEI, cutting taxes, downsizing the fed govt and a bunch of other things hes actually done. People may not like them but to pretend Trumps "done the exact opposite of everything he campaigned on" reveals you to be a liar, troll or brain dead moron.

The decades of indoctrination by schools, colleges, Hollywood and media are producing results.

closing the borders
Alright
quote:
mass deportations
Not even close to the amount a Democratic administration did
quote:
tariffs
Part of the problem
quote:
ending DEI
Alright
quote:
cutting taxes
I’ll get him some credit for this, but still like deportations, not making the mark
quote:
downsizing the fed govt
A huge false enchantment that also probably backfired in the end

You're the retard.
The 2024 Red Wave Trump Mandate turned into a Historical Blue Tsunami Trump Rebuke because Trump 2.0 was a colossal failure.
Why the F do you think so many deep Red states flipped last night?
Take the L, your Orange hero is a clown.

cutting taxes
If there was a candidate that didn't lower or raise taxes and didn't blow money like it was fake, I'd vote for him every time.
Trump wanted $1.5 trillion for the Pentagon every year.

And all of these things are at the bottom of the list of what voters actually care about.

I agree with just about all your points.
Apparently Trump still has NOT learned or willing to be truthful.
Trump : " If I was on the ballot we would of won in a landslide."

The boomers will be along shortly doubling down on the "netflix, starbuck, the economy is great" lines.

I agree, I'm tired of wars as well. Try telling that to the radical islamist. That would be countries like the Islamic Republic of Iran or the Muslim Brotherhood, or CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations) . You sleep with a snake and eventually the snake will bite you. THAT is what America is doing right now......sleeping with the "NICE" Islamic snake.
I've said this time and again - On 9/11/01 Islam declared war on the United States (the entire west actually). They're in the process right now taking over many nations in the EU, including France, Germany, and the UK.
And now, the Islamo - Marxist have succeeded in convincing the American electorate to let them take over our government. They did this by exploiting our obsession with pleasure, as expressed in the motto - It's the economy, stupid. The American economy being the instrument that has delivered a standard of living unequaled in history and the world. It's has created the ability of individuals to create a totally narcassistic completely self-absorbed pursuit of pleasure. How has this pursuit of pleasure so derailed our sense of decency? Generations X'ers get their kicks taking selfies in front of burning buildings while firemen desperately struggle to save lives in the burnng buildings behind them.
In addition to the ability to communicate with anyone anytime using our Smart Phones. These amazing phones gives us instant access to pleasure - as evidenced by the proliferation of pornography.
The really scary part about all this? The loss of the central moral decision making process in each person. As in the loss of Absolute Truth, and the widespread acceptance of situational ethics expressed in the term Moral Relativism.
Beam me up Scotty - An American abortionist taunts a baby as he performs a sucking tube abortion.
Sad, our Constitutional Republic lasted only 250 years.
