Dont let the neocons and Israel-first crowd tell you otherwise.

This election wasnt a rejection of "MAGA", it was a rejection of old neocon GOP "endless foreign wars" and GDP-maxxers.

Odd I’ve never taken an exit poll and I’m sure they’re only done in large cities which would represent more left leaning individuals.

Some of the Rs in TX who are doing their post mortem believe the constant threat of illegal immigrants being deported in TX swayed a lot of Hispanics over to the DSA. One R even suggested if conservatives want to reclaim TX they will have to abandon mass deportations. Said differently, conservatives need to surrender their position on removing tens of millions of illegal immigrants. Yeah, frick that!

No one cares about deportations if they have money in their wallet. In fact, people are happy to tolerate a lot of things if the economy is doing well.

They want you to believe that the war isn’t the key issue but it was.

Broke a major campaign promise, but America last and raised prices.

How immigration was handled was part of the problem. People thought they were voting for secure borders. Then immigrants who followed the process were sent away when appearing at immigration hearings. The racist side of MAGA took over. Due process disappeared. Immigrants needed by agricultural and construction jobs disappeared. Sanity was lost. The outcome of all that was that people in ag and construction (who also were impacted by tariffs) started voting blue. Hispanics that thought the low crime / secure border idea was good saw a cruel side of MAGA and voted them out. Republicans in Texas are also no longer fiscally conservative. They are just populists, promising low taxes while spewing fear mongering nonsense in ads. Republicans need to admit failure and stop shooting themselves in the feet.

And the Dems will do whatever they can to demonize it because it’s the most important policy.

They cannot be a one party state without importing new voters and eradicating the white electorate.

No, not really seen in the data.

No, you have no proof of this, probably just leftwing publications omitting facts.

"Needed" for who? Paying illegals super low wages under the table while they take in welfare benefits isnt good for the American people. Pay a fair wage to actual citizens.

No, just isnt happening.

No, they're for America, not foreigners and foreign handouts and corporate handouts, and welfare handouts to foreigners loke you.


You made no real points, just your own opinion projected.

That’s bullshite and you know it, you aligned yourself with the Left and the whole country will suffer because you got emotional over .50 cents at the pump. You aren’t on some righteous quest

Talking to my 30 something daughter who lives in NYC the last few yrs. People in her age group absolutely hate the Jews worst than Muslims or any race. It is so bad that the 9/11 narritive in that group is that the Jews were behind it.

I dont know what changes their minds or how you remove that sentiment from an election but this was a huge problem for young voters. Way more than immigration. Now the economy or affordability issues they also squarely attribute to the Jews

The anti-Israel people are genuinely lunatics in a cult, I fear.

How so?

Chuck Schumer and Temu Obama are about to be SML and SotH, respectively, and they have both openly pledged unending support of Israel for their entire cereers. Their subordinates will follow their instructions in lock-step to whatever end and detriment, because that's exactly what Dims do.

The losers in this election are We the People.
