I’m one of those voters. But we didn’t elect Trump the collective independents and people that crossed party lines because they were tired of the economic crisis the Dems started. And Trump has made it worse. And YOU think they’ll just vote for him again?? Bro bro my fellow maga brother. Wake up they absolutely positively will not.

So you’re thinking that “everything sucks” about as bad as everything could suck, and that, let’s say, should the Democrats instead take power in this regard it wouldn’t be any different? Because whether you know it or not, that’s what you’re implying. In my view, everything could and would suck a whole heck of a lot worse with Democrats in that role. Put it to you like this: it would get as bad as their capabilities would allow. In other words, the only saving grace is that they perhaps don’t have the wherewithal to carry out and facilitate the dastardly plans they’ve announced for quite some time now.

At some point in time hopefully reasonable minds will prevail and even the most stubborn among us will understand the unassailable truth: a Republican is always better than a Democrat when it comes to the ability to influence your own life and that of your loved ones.

And despite how I may have worded all of that, the preceding is purely my own personal opinion(s) only. But I do feel pretty gosh fricking darned confident in its correctness.

Trump won by turning out low propensity voters in 2024

These are harder to turn out in midterms especially for milquetoast republican candidates who failed to back Trumps agenda and then Trump himself failing to deliver on some promises

Midterm voters are independents, country club republicans, and suburban white women. Not very maga friendly

It won't be a check or direct deposit into your account. It will be a card that can only be used in America because Trump said people won't be allowed to spend the money outside of America

And this is why MAGA is viewed as a cult and why Trump can lie on a daily basis- he knows his core members will not leave him.


Yep. Trump has been embracing socialist policies and MAGA hasn't really criticized him.

Not to mention they didn't bat an eye when he said/did the following:

-Spouted the 2012 Obama/Biden talking points on social security
-Defended Disney against DeSantis
-Was silent on or sided with Bud Light and TikTok because he owned stock or they donated to him
-Celebrated when woke Democrat Michael Bennet won re-election
-Said he did the right thing by locking down and not firing Fauci
-Said Stacey Abrams would be a better Governor than Brian Kemp
-Said Cuomo did a better job on Covid than DeSantis
-Said Newsom did a better job on Covid than DeSantis
-Praised Charlie Crist
-Praised Newsom
-Added 1/3 of the current national debt
-Contributed to inflation twice
-Attacked pro-life Republicans

If you claim to hate RINO's and the left, there is no excuse to continue to embrace him after that. None. Unless, of course, you're a MAGA RINO or a leftist. If ANY other Republican did that, they'd be purged from the party, and rightfully so. But Trump? Apparently he's above criticism. That's how you can tell it's a cult. If it weren't a cult, you'd be doing everything possible to make sure his political career ended.

I think it's a relatively low turnout election. People hate Republicans and Democrats. People just are not energized to vote.

People that have TDS will vote. They are always energized. And the new commie wing of the Democrat party will show up.

Plus Trump lost support over Iran. We can argue how much but in close elections it can be enough to matter. Trumps people aren't going to all of a sudden vote Democrat, that's absurd. But they will stay home.

Used to be an angry electorate would vote but now they are just disgusted. Both sides.

History also favors the party out of the White House. It just doesn't look like an election where Republicans are poised to buck history.

Lastly, the same Republican establishment that branded Trump a 3x loser are laying in wait to call him a 4x loser. They still want to kill Trumpism.

I hope I'm wrong but I think the Democrats end up with a 7-10 seat majority in the House. Republicans probably hold Senate narrowly.

Legislatively it doesn't matter. Nothing happens anyway. It will mean more impeachments and congressional investigation theater.

Let's be honest. We are cooked either way. Prepare accordingly.

No MAGA posters have said we are fricked. It’s coming from the “libertarian-staunch conservative” and liberal posters on here. The same guys who voted for Trump 3x but melt over everything he does.


We look forward to your cope in November. Donny shite the bed

Why would I agree with you in criticizing something that’s a figment of your imagination? Thanks, but no thanks.

If the price of diesel keeps climbing as fast as it has lately, I might not be able to afford to drive to the polling station to vote

They left are. This is their last chance to get Trump. The saving grace for Republicans is that the Democrats have nominated a bunch of lunatics that don't appeal at all to the middle.

There is zero chance the dems take the Senate. GOP may even pick up seats. MN is a dead heat and MI will flip red.

And so you’re saying that you aren’t familiar with what even leftist MSM news outlets has been reporting is a growing fissure in the Democrat Party between these DSA types (a growing number) and the currently more numerous non-DSA types composing the rest of the party?

Allow me to offer a truncated assessment more close to reality: (1) The discord amongst the Democrat Party is growing at a rate even higher/faster than that of the Republican Party (which has actually been surprising to me, personally); (2) as crazy and unhinged and detached from reality as the Democrats have been, on which I thought surely they had just about peaked (based on my own observations of the overall matter), I was wrong - they’re somehow, some way making themselves even more so by the day. Yes, litrully.

THIS X 1,000. Yes, the choice is between Republicans and bat-shite crazy Democrats. Not a hard choice objectively.

The question is will these Congressional Republicans inspire low propensity voters to actually vote? The Republican controlled House has only been in session for less than 90 days in 2026...and just announced another 6 week vacation. Inspiring?

That's what I said. The Democrats are nominating a bunch of unelectable people that don't appeal to independents.

But somehow voting Dem or staying home and helping to elect Dems to office will bring gas prices down. We have watched this movie several times already over the years. Somehow though we will get a different ending this go around if we just give the Dems a chance. Now that the Dem Party is officially full of commies and socialists you know gas prices will come down. Make it make sense!!


Angry people want to feel like they are punishing someone but will in reality only be punishing themselves by voting Communist.
