Data Centers - no one wants them and the Democrats latched onto that.

The Republicans are tone deaf to the concerns of the citizens when it comes to these things.

There is a newly elected R senator that fumbled a morning after data center question so bad that the groundswell for a recall is swiftly forming in that state.

Yep but particularly the ones who like the left are themselves “woke” and simply are wired for melodrama and causing trouble. The number one law not to violate for them being not to have a personality that they can’t wrap their minds around. Same exact types who played drama queen for the day and stayed home in Georgia and Pennsylvania when I’m fully convinced the opposite effort from them would’ve yielded Republican victories in those cases.

I agree that this is one issue where Rs are a bit tone deaf. It's like 80/20 against.

That and the sitting on the Epstein matter - everyone should have been exposed, prosecuted and jailed by now.

The big issue - fuel prices - from the single mom to the richest land owner / farmer, gas prices got out of control and people vote with their wallet.

It is amazing how republicans allow democrats to reframe the positions.

We are all socialist now.

to be devil's advocate, what are the odds that part of that 20 million difference in Dem voters are people that became eligible to vote the past 2 years, i.e. became 18 years old?

Considering 18-40 was abysmal that’s not the case.

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.


Here''s the problem with this line of thinking.
We're a "what have you done for me lately society", Biden is ancient history.
People just know prices for fuel were a hell of a lot cheaper before Trump bombed Iran.

Yup because if there's one thing we know, unfettered immigration and free shite for everyone are deflationary policies....

In my home county here in Virginiafornia, 7000 out of 16,000 registered voters voted. Overwhelmingly red here. Still, pitiful participation in all of RED Virginiafornia. Our people voted at about 40% statewide. Dems voted at about 55%. That's why the good guys here lost...again. I guess most conservatives here just don't care? They stayed home here.

Texas turned blue, as did other places, because the republican party has been a joke sucking up to Trump for years now. And it got us absolutely nowhere

What’s he supposed to do about it? Everything went up during the scamdemic. The president doesn’t set prices. There was no housing before Trump bc of Biden’s illegals.

The numbers are questionable, but until I see more proof of fraud, I have to go with conservatives just being too emotional to make practical decisions about their future.

In no world is giving democrats power to ruin our country an appropriate response to Trump attacking Iran.

I pointed out weeks before the election that MSM-levels of anti-Trump rhetoric from conservatives wasn't a good strategy for winning. But I'm just another jackass on the internet. I have no power to force people to think critically.

Jimmy loves rustling things. And he’s usually right too. Mostly on ancient civilizations though. Plus he served in Iraq.

Kinda True. Look at the voter totals. There was still a lot of Independents that didn't like the war, gas, ice, etc.

I'm sure some stayed home but not enough to give the radicals a blowout victory. Not buying it.
