This is the correct assessment.

The right stepped on its own dick with how this admin has messaged a lot of stuff, then the disdain Congress has for its employers the American people, they followed that up by being arrogant retards and would rather scream and call their voting base they need stupid then do an ounce of fricking work to win the vote. We have a multilevel messaging problem, and frankly using the msm is mean and bias is a pathetic excuse. Having a competent press secretary would help, using the media we have effectively would help, actually going out and trying to earn votes would help, even if it exposes you to angry people that might say mean words because they are pissed, our politicians have the thinnest skin, go out there take your tongue lashing from the voting public and handle it well and you might earn some voters back. You aren’t earning anyone back by calling them stupid for staying home. We are now 3 days from an absolute disaster and the only people I’ve seen trying to start to fix shite is JD and big D Ron.

They didn’t

What happened is that the people that swung to Trump because he made great promises and he had a horrible opponent

Those voters, largely younger, naive voters, bought trumps story but he has failed them so they went back to the democrats

And now trump says “I wasn’t on the ballot” but before he said “vote like I’m on the ballot”

What a friggin sociopath.

Trump is the party of trump. He’ll leave office far wealthier than he came in. That’s all he cares about.

True, but no Iran war and 1 isn't an issue and I think a generic, no name repub could have gotten through.

Gas would be sub $2 in a lot of places, mortgages would be low 5's or upper 4's, and all other goods would be lower thanks to less inflation.

Trump ruined his legacy with Iran.

like data a lot and we should be using it to point out issues and where to look, the problem is the track record on actually punishing election fraud is fricking pathetic.


Well if there was ever a situation to prove election fraud it would be Texas.

Blaming ICE and data centers is pretty fricking dumb. But oh well. Keep your head buried as to what it actually was.

I think you don’t understand the connotations of the term “building ‘the’ narrative”.

Sorting through data and starting a discussion in search of truth does technically qualify as starting a narrative, but it’s not the nefarious version you are implying. The sort of narrative you’re talking about starts with an ideological opinion and seeks to defend that idea with emotion and half-truths, while rebuffing the use of actual facts.

That seems to be what you’re doing, right?

Data centers is more viable than the ice, data centers were an 80/20 issue and the right decided the 20 was a nice hill to die on. Even if you believe your voters are wrong and stupid, it’s beyond dumb to spit in their face. Smart answer would be, we should pause on the data centers and let’s review and put in place standard expectations that address the concerns. It doesn’t matter if concerns are made up, if people are being rabbled up by the topic, you diffuse the situation until you are in power.

Foolish to pick hills like that to die on during an election cycle. Even more foolish when people are pissed about Iran, prices caused by that and that Congress did jack shite. Perhaps you can make your I’m right stand on data centers if you didn’t have those other factors.

It still also points to a messaging problem and an overall attitude problem that these people believe they are entitled to votes.

Been nice if Thune and the rest of the GOP senate would have worked to get the Save act passed.

It’s been a good run, time to let it all burn down and start over.

The Republicans don’t have a message.

The entire party needs to be overhauled. They basically told young voters to frick off.

This is true, the Republican message was shut up don’t talk about our arse fricking of you, we are better than the dems.

The fact anyone approved that or thought that would be a good strategy is amazing. They believed saying we are slightly better than dems would work and did nothing to go out and earn votes.

The party has completely lost sight of how to win elections only two years after getting in power. Our politicians are the biggest welfare queens imaginable

Ok well weve known these people cheat and have known it for years. Your graph talks about Texas...Republicans have controlled Texas for years. We have had 6 years of President Trump and the ability to deport these people and stop their anchor baby scheme.

The GOP did nothing. Its almost like...the GOP is and has always been complicit in all this

Those are real numbers. Whether they are legit remains to be seen. I’m just adding to the conversation.


And also the obligatory- Facts don’t care about your feelings.

What Trump campaigned on and, what he's done are miles apart.

The rinos in washedupton sat on their hands.

It's over. They will not give Texas back.

Almost like in 24 where once the right got the things it needed, they stopped watching and bird dogging certain races. As soon as that happened magically all of the seats left went to the dems.

What was inflation under Biden? What was the highest gas price that you forgot about?

What kind of emotional bs is this? Lol harassed by ICE, what magical police force exists that will deport people who don’t want to leave and politicians who try to stop them. You people live in an alternate reality

I can help with that. Biden’s cumulative inflation was around 19% from 2021-2024. His high for gas was $5.01 per gallon in June of 2022.
