It's like a fad that gets old after a few years only, instead of it being "pet rock", it's "we're embracing fascism because the orange man said so and also said that democrats are the badguy, not him!".

Grip it and rip it posted:Surprisingly this isn't a new phenomenon - it's simply more visible than it ever has been. People have always believed fantastically stupid things. Maybe politicians actively engaging with their hair-brained beliefs at this scale is new but targeting dummys definitely isn't. Idiots with power and a platform on which to make it a thing justify idiots without them (in their minds) having Bad Opinions because someone who was never even close to being adjusted socially said so on the TV picture box! It doesn't help that 1 of the 2 political parties in this country was so weak that it was hijacked by a septogenarian who has never been told no in his life and, when he finally was, didn't like it one bit and decided to try to take a match to the country because he was pouty.

facialimpediment posted:As of 10PM EST, I don't see a single election caller saying it's a red wave. Outside of Florida, Democrats are winning a few toss-ups (Spanberger), while winning Republican reaches (CO-SEN) just aren't close. But Republicans don't need a wave, so it's still a senate toss-up with a heavily favored house flip. Georgia's probably iffy and trending runoff due to the libertarian pulling 2%, who knows on that one. CBS says it might be a Red Ripple at best and the slimmer majority in the House, the harder it will be to get for them to get consensus to agree between those who kiss the ring versus those who might take their orders from other Rs. They also said Jim banks from Indiana is going to throw his hat in the ring to be Republican whip and has support, which could put pressure on Scalise and McCarthy.

stealie72 posted:Meanwhile, Ohio managed to give every state-wide office to the GOP and Tim Ryan lost his senate race by 6.6 points to loving JD Vance by running a campaign that was basically "I'm almost a republican, I swear." Though he did 1.5 points better than Biden despite alienating anyone left of Mitt Romney, so I guess there's that? Ohio's republicans were just jealous JD got to kiss Trump's rear end AND be taunted for it and wanted to live vicariously through him.

quote:Trump’s disappointment was palpable inside the gilded ballroom at his Mar-a-Lago estate, where he gathered with dozens of aides, allies and donors to watch returns on Tuesday evening. When he returned to the party halfway through the night following a private dinner, his mood had visibly shifted. https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/09/politics/gop-midterms-trump-2024/index.html Some his invitees skipped the bash and he probably had to watch them on TV instead of attending his loving gala inject directly into my veins.

Does the slim majority the GOP may take in the House affect their ability to put on some weak sauce attempt at a committee to investigate Hunter Biden or whatever they wanted to do because the Dems did the January 6th committee? I'm guessing a majority that may only be 2 or 3 people isn't going to let them run rough shod like they would've liked after the red wave.
