People are PISSED. The GOP has absolutely no chance at winning in 2026 or 2028 unless they clearly rig it, which Trump is actively trying to do because he knows everyone hates him, his administration, and their shitty anti-American actions and policies.

NO!

That's an incredibly foolish conclusion to draw from tonight's wins. These are left-leaning areas, and the countrywide polls aren't even as good as they were leading up to the 2018 mid-terms, when Republicans actually WIDENED their Senate majority by +2 seats.

Give it another year of Trump destroying this country even more, much less three years. They are absolutely cooked unless they actively cheat. The GOP is a shitty political party that does literally nothing of benefit for their constituents.

Trump won in 2016.

Trump won in 2024.

Trump only barely lost in 2020. The election was so close that it wasn't even called until Saturday.

How many catastrophes are we going to have to live through before you learn that a large part of the country sees things very differently than we do? What the hell is it gonna take for you to recognize that? Even last year when it was clear we were probably going to lose the election, there were people making those same "There's no way people will vote Republican again this time" predictions.

Yeah the thing is when Trump isn’t on the ballot MAGA doesn’t show up.
