re: Thomas Sowell explains why Republicans will dominate mid-terms

Oklahoma is a good example. We’ve grown a ton in the past 10 years and were red then. I feared all the transplants would turn us purple. So I looked at voter registrations starting in 2015 just to see the trends Blue and Red.
2015: Red 886,153 / Blue 882,686
2016: Red 983,932 / Blue 856,717
2017: Red 940,821 / Blue 770,482
2018: Red 1,003,182 / Blue 781,091
2019: Red 1,000,696 / Blue 739,762
2020: Red 1,128,771 / Blue 750,669
2021: Red 1,138,947 / Blue 748,222
2022: Red 1,175,253 / Blue 687,545
2023: Red 1,154,484 / Blue 656,017
2024: Red 1,279,045 / Blue 658,061
2025: Red 1,299,687 / Blue 658,136
And I went back to 2000 just to see:
2000: Red 734,382 / Blue 1,189,332
Some of the years they purge voter rolls so you see decreases or small gains. They list data each Jan and Nov. Some years they didn’t list Nov so I had to grab Jan. Meaning going from Nov one year to Jan next (2 months) then Jan to Nov following year (22 months).
But as you can see our growth has actually increased red voter registrations when I feared it would go the other way. I think it shows people moving away from shithole blue states have learned lessons and know they can’t screw this up as then there are no places left to go.
Amazing numbers.

add in that 19 blue states along with DC are suing to keep it legal to transition children and we may well have a big winner
that lawsuit needs to be a focal point of GOP ads
Trump’s commercials about “Kamala is for THEY/THEM, Trump is for YOU” was the most powerful marketing of the last election
We need to put our foot on the gas and hammer that point

Never voting in a national election again. If it actually mattered, it would be illegal.
Stop begging for crumbs from your masters.

I can't tell ole baw!! If what you say is true, you hide it well. Right, left, middle, whatever... I'm for America and common sense. I also understand practicality.
I get it, Trump may not check all your boxes, but he's doing more for America than any president or political party in recent history and if you don't like him..
what was the alternative?
Your just a cynical, pessimistic person.
Probaly been so all your miserable days.

I like TS's optimism here, but I remain reticent.
On paper it looks like the R's should crush the D's. But there's some major infighting among the internet factions of groypers, Tucker apologists, Candace and Tatum fans, TPUSA groupies and realists, that's causing a great divide and rift in the conservative base. It doesn't feel insignificant.
Meanwhile, the Dim party is polling at 70% "unfavorable" and only a hilariously low 18% "approval rating" according to some reliable top pollsters, but they're only tripling down and their throngs of brainwashed sheep are only tripling down on support while the leadership continues their 9.8 meters per second off the left side of the map.
It shouldn't, but it feels like they're going to take the midterms through attrition while the base of the Right fails to show up in force because they can't stop bickering and can't find motivation. Trump's self-inflicted gaffes haven't helped. But there's a year to go still so incredibly hope I'm wrong.
If the GOP base can unify and deliver a crushing defeat of progressivism in 2026, we can all but guarantee a JD Vance Presincy in January of 2029. Newscum won't stand a chance.
I'm basing this off of what I'm seeing in real life and a gut feeling. That said, I'm a self admitted inherent nonconformist, contrarian and pessimist, so TIFWIW.

I hear ya. I really do.... but I consider the reality of the difference between Marxist Dems and America First. They are polar opposites.... I agree, the infighting doesn't help our side, I can't understand how folks could switch sides due to these factors. Of course, the MSM and all the independent media idiots chasing views attempt to make any topic sensational, I simply don't believe it will matter at the bottom line.
As the Sowell so eloquently explained.
IMHO

You're the problem, then. Of course, you'll blame others for your own failures like when you can't hold down a job.

The debt has exploded, illegals aren't being deported fast enough, our president says Americans are lazy and therefore we must continue to import hundreds of thousands of indians to take all the tech jobs as Pam Bondi defends the H1B in federal court, billions continue to be wasted on overseas conflicts, pedophiles are being protected by our FBI and DOJ, NGOs continue to be funded as DOGE is neutered
So, you are going to give more power to the party that brought in 20 million illegals in 4 years and, despite all your emotional bitching, is much more responsible for the problems you constantly whine about. Yeah, that will really fix all the problems. fricking genius.

No point in voting for that
You're an emotional idiot if you can't see the democrats are 1000x worse than Trump. You are the moron who cuts off his nose to spite his face. It's such a low level of emotional intelligence.
You will not vote, but then you will come here and celebrate if democrats win to rub it in the faces of Trump supporters. And somehow, you will still think Trump supporters are the problem and not the idiot happy that the party of mutilating children, killing babies, soft on crime, illegal aliens, endless welfare, censorship, arrests of political opponents, and lawfare has neutered the big bad Trump.
How can anyone not see how utterly moronic that is? Put your emotions aside, put on your big boy pants, and vote for the party who doesn't openly celebrate the deaths of Christians and White people.

For all intents and purposes, we are. You don't have to like it. You just need to accept reality. Maybe you're just not old enough to remember Ross Perot.
Why do you think people like Rand Paul and Massie run as Republicans instead of 3rd party? Because despite all their retarded libertarian opinions, even they know there is no 3rd party. The only true conservatives in Congress wouldn't be wrong, would they?

To be fair they now believe that Lindsey Graham, Randy Fine, Ted Cruz, and Mark Levin are now the definition of what it means to be a true blooded MAGA Republican

Let’s take free markets. I anticipate that your two objections are tariffs and the federal government taking equity stakes in industries. If so, I don’t think your criticism is justified.
Trump was faced with several emergencies. Supply chains, critical to our national security, were controlled by our enemies, or could be controlled by them. He had to get those industries reshored pronto! All of the equity positions that the government has negotiated are in those critical areas. And if Trump had not negotiated federal government equity, then the requirement to reshore would have amounted to a gigantic wealth transfer from the American people (via higher prices) to a few companies. The fact that these companies granted the government equity is evidence that they clearly saw this and agreed that the equity was worth the benefits that they were about to cash in on. But the fact to remember is that the higher prices from reshoring were absolutely necessary to keep China from having us by the balls.
And tariffs were used to fight unfair trade practices by other countries. Free trade is the best policy as long as it is actually unencumbered, and it doesn’t place a nation at a strategic disadvantage. So I don’t think your criticism on free trade is valid (unless I’m missing my guesses).
I think that your criticism along the lines of Individualism and limited government probably stem from the points discussed above.
On Rule of Law, I cut him a ton of slack as he pursues lawfare against the MFers who tormented him.
Adherence to the Constitution is one in which he has pushed the envelope but has adhered to the ultimate rulings of the judicial system. He has ignored some that he thought were lawfare, and he has been mostly correct about those.
