About that red wave…

Guest Post by Alex Berenson

Ending abortion rights and denying the 2020 results has not served Republicans well

Should have stuck with my prediction two weeks ago.

I’ll admit it. I let my emotions take over. As someone who thinks the lockdowns and vaccine mandates were profoundly anti-American, I hoped to see the politicians who backed them punished.

But they were not top-of-mind for most voters, and in the end the blue states mostly held Democratic (I may also have been confused because my Congressional district may be one of the few to flip).

 

Turns out that abortion really mattered, and hurt Republicans in both red and blue states. I don’t think election denialism was quite as large a problem for Republican on its own, but it didn’t help – and the bigger issue is that Republican love affair with Donald Trump has turned toxic for both Republicans and Democrats. The guy is even attacking Ron DeSantis now – what more proof could you need that he cares only about himself?

I ask this seriously: Why can’t you quit Trump? What is it about him that’s so compelling?

Anyway, I guess the Republicans will take the House and could even sneak to 51-49 in the Senate (though that seems unlikely), but the next two years are going to look a lot like the last two.

Ugh.

Really? How so, Alex. Missouri stayed red without any abortion rights except to save the life of the mother. I think it’s because of mail in ballots and states where there is no citizenship required. You see, if you don’t have to show id to vote, then anyone can vote.

Alex is obtuse on anything except the shots and I’m not sure how that happened. He should have stayed at the NY Times and towed the line.

It’s Missouri. MO, OH and FL aren’t swing states anymore. They’re reliably “red”, especially because East Coast conservatives move out of NY and NJ to Florida.

I don’t know, Iska. You could be right. A lot of people moved to Missouri, too. Not near as many as FL, though. It’s a battle for the rurals to fight St Louis and KC. Some of the larger towns like Springfield are purple and the college towns like Columbia, Warrensburg, Boonville are blue.

If it’s decided that MO, OH, and FL are needed “in the fold”, they’ll turn purple too. This mid-term was just them adjusting the “algo’s” so that the steal isn’t so obvious like it was in 2020.

More to the point, there are people that vote along party lines no matter what. Adolf Hiter could be on the ballot and have a (D) at the end of is name and 40% of the voters would pick him. A better and real world example is John Fetterman. The guy is mentally retarded. He can’t complete a sentence for the life of him. He can’t make decisions without long pauses. Yet he just won a race for the U.S Senate. You really need to sit back and think about that for a moment. All election irregularities and possible cheating aside, 40-45% of the voters still cast their vote for him. It speaks clearly on the state of this country and where it is heading….

Plus, he is far too stupid to read the Constitution. Because if he had the mental fortitude to read the Constitution, he would have seen that ritual baby killings are not in the Constitution. Amendment 10 covers anything not in the Constitution. But then, even if he could read Amendment 10, and he can’t, he would be far too mentally declined to comprehend any of it.

Yes, I realize stupid is a hard word for the terminally stupid to grasp. But if a pile driver is required to build a bridge, then use it to sink the piles.

No, election tampering is what matters. Republicans didn’t do jack to secure them and a few positions didn’t recuse themselves when they were overseeing the voting for their own position.

Also, a fair amount are just retards that vote blue as they’re going poor, starving, kids are sterile and reading gay porn from the school library and unemployed. Because it’s always someone else’s fault, not the Democrats in power.

MC, Best confirmation of election tampering is that given FJB’s low approval rating the opposing party could not muster the expected red wave. History indicates there should have been a big turnover. Question: In the future how low will a sitting presidents rating have to go before it makes a difference? What will it take? Ax murdering children in the oval office on national TV? Nope, that won’t even make a difference because we are fully in the new era of entrenched election manipulation. The blue shittholes are going to sink lower into the blue hell that has been envisioned by the masters. Nothing will change until hard working, reality-based Americans (mostly rural) decide to cut all ties and services to every one of the communist hellscapes.

By the way, months ago I stated several times on TBP that there would be no red wave–in fact a blue wave was more likely. Simply put, where they cheated before they will learn to cheat more. There were no consequences for any of the myriad ways that elections have been tampered with in the past; therefore that constitutes a winning strategy and will continue until the whole sheebang comes tumbling down.

Check your premises, Alex. As I have stated in prior articles, abortion was to provide plausible deniability for the theft of elections. No way will the beast system cede power now.

Berenson’s probably right that Trump is a net negative now. Trump calling DeSantis “DeSanctimonious” probably helped DeSantis. Kemp won easily despite (or because of) Trump’s antipathy toward him. DeSantis is beholden to big donors and is clearly the GOP establishment candidate for president in 2024. It is what it is.

I’m sure DeSantis sat in his room for hours crying and feeling terribly butt hurt Donnie would talk about him that way. Probably the same with Megyn Kelly when Donnie said she bleeds from her eyes. BUTT HURT!

I’m still not seeing any indication DeSantis plans to “run” and now that Donnie has warned him not to…shivers up and down the spine.

He’s not a Republican, and Republicans are awful. Republicans, with the notable exception of DeSantis, have shown themselves to be spineless blowhards who take your vote, ignore the causes they championed to get elected, and get down to the financially lucrative business of caving to Democrats.
Trump is popular because the people on our own side that we hate hate him.

If anyone thinks that the Red Wave did not happen because of murdering infants then you are a fucken imbecilic piece of whale shit that conflates cheating with murder as a justification for the other wing on the same bird not winning in a huge landslide and is disingenuous at best or deliberate fucken ignorance at worst.

Anyone that clings to the notion of their being the lesser of two evils as a choice is deluding themselves.

Americans would rather vote for a brain damaged communist as opposed to a RINO celebrity doctor instead of the no-name people that may have made a difference due to not being corrupted currently.

Americans would rather not hold a referendum vote on imposing term limits for all public office elections at every level.

Americans would rather blame the “opposite” side for all the ills in their distorted world.

Americans would rather feign intellect by justifying emotion-based voting because something they heard from a person that heard it from another person passed it off as fact.

Americans would rather dissociate from the reality of truth and stick to the utter fantasy world of making up reality as they go along.

Americans would rather let anyone else make the decisions in how they live their own lives, which is in direct contradiction to the founding document of this country.

Americans would rather wait for a savior instead of saving themselves.

Americans wait to be spoon fed their thoughts by shit heel media maggots that feast on the bloated corpse of the American Dream or the corpse the released Kraken.

Americans, above all else, would rather play pretend instead of looking at themselves in the mirror and having the honest talk with their selves and admit they are the problem.

Americans do not hold their elected officials accountable for all the bullshit they perpetrate while slam dunking the people for the exact same shit.

The United States of America I thought I lived in never existed in my lifetime.

What exists now is a fucken mutant hybrid cancer tumor on fucken miracle grow that seems to never shrinks in spite of all logical mathematical equations.

I am beginning to think that mathematics is a lie, left is down, up is west and the fucken Looney Toons characters are running the world.

This country is over and it is time to start the divorce proceeding in the usual cut-throat way.

ZFG, out.

P.S. Alex Berenson is a fucken merc journalist looking for clickbait victims and he found a bunch of soft-assed conservatives to buy his bullshit.

Fucken abortion flipped the polls. Dominion flipped the polls you fucken tool and anyone that thinks modern technology is good has not been paying attention.

P.P.S eat a fucken dick. Vote with a gun folks. Ragnarok cannot happen soon enough.

In MI the abortion card was layered on thick and Stetchen her vagina Gretchen won. The media demonized Tudor for claiming a 14 year old should know the joy of becoming a mama. That was probably taken out of context. Another R called the people who supported abortion demonic. Meanwhile, Stretchen was deflecting inflation saying that she couldn’t do it all but she did what she could. Nice way to project and blame shift.

Still she won. Shame on you, Michiganders. You got what you asked for another 4 years.

I voted for Trump in 2016 because he implicitly supported White working families, and because he seemed to be willing to use the power of the state to enforce his will–unlike most conservatives. I stayed home in 2020 because he showed himself more loyal to Israel and black Americans than to his base. Now he’s just another conservative.
