Blame Trump for the ‘Red Trickle’? Nonsense.

A flurry of phone calls and texts at 2am taught me that some long-standing MAGA stalwarts are now preparing to ditch Donald Trump because they didn’t get the flood of feel good results last night. This attitude is incorrect, and sober analysis proves it.

The “OMG RED WAVE!!!” brigade are now the most vociferously disappointed. They set expectations so high – all the while carrying water for a Republican National Committee and party leadership led by the deeply unpopular Kevin McCarthy, Mitch McConnell and Ronna Romney McDaniel. Now they’re upset.

Up and down the country, McLeadership candidates and strategies came up short of expectations. Not even all that short, to be fair. But still, deflating enough that people are already playing the blame game. Two can play.

Firstly, DC-based Republicans think its enough to run against something, rather than for something. They also fundamentally underestimated the appeal of Democrat messaging on abortion, student loan forgiveness, and the cringe-inducing “our democracy”. Honestly, we all did. People really are getting dumber and more pliant and there’s no ignoring that anymore, especially when you see how the TikTok generation turned out, and broke for the far-left. Congratulations, by the way, to Communist China for their apparently totally legal and unchallenged election interference, while CNN staffers shriek about how Elon Musk is trying to charge $8 for the very same verification processes they’ve been outwardly demanding for a decade. Argh.

Political Science 101:

In a republic, politicians are elected to perform their civic duty to maintain and improve the state and the condition of the people.

In a democracy, politicians win elections because the existing politicians failed. Also in our case, voter fraud selects our politicians in corrupt states.

All the Republicans had to do is tell the people what they would do and how they would do it. Blaming the other party is not an effective strategy to winning elections. Unless that was the plan all along.

The only GOP that I voted for had to earn it . I wrote in a few and skipped most.
I do not vote for the ilk that voted for billions for Ukraine and voted to take away my constitutional rights, most obviously Greg Murphy. He insults veterans and trades votes for positions that Kevin McCarthy promises
If more people spent time on looking at and researching those running we would have a country that looked the the founders wanted.

Exactly! It makes me sick to read what these cowards write, ne’er a thanks from the winners for any endorsements. Well, it identifies more of the RINOs.

Almost all of the people TRUMP endorsed WON, yet if you believe fake media you would not even recognize the truth.

219 WINS against 16 LOSSES IN THE GENERAL ELECTION, and yet the Fake News reports Trumps fault.

SEE YA IN 2024…..THE MAP OF ELECTION NIGHT LOOKS MIGHTY RED TO ME….js

There were suspicious ballot drops all over the country; especially here in Michigan. Now we have the “six boobs” for another four years. Pennsylvania was not free of fraud either. It’s crazy to blame Trump.

We probably had an honest “election” here in Idaho with paper ballots and double ID checks. Even so it was mostly a RINO show except for the AG. The fact that is not reported is that more than 10% of all the registered voters in the state voted for independent Ammon Bundy for Governor. Not enough awake but some slight encouragement.

For those that wish to say that the losses are Trump’s doing, I would suggest you start educating yourself on the art of psy-war. Read all info you can get your hands on, then look into “ShadowGate.” Psy-war is the art of getting you to believe what I want you to believe, by pressing your reactionary button, and making you think you can to the conclusion all by your little self.
For your pleasure,
