President Donald Trump told voters to pretend he was on the ballot in this year’s midterm elections.

They did. And they resoundingly rejected both his policies and his Republican Party.

Democrats have captured full control of Congress, NBC News projects, with voters delivering a forceful repudiation of Trump’s agenda, coupled with a clear-cut message that Congress has not done enough to provide checks on his administration and needs to do more to address affordability and corruption.

    Really rough night for the “elections don’t matter” and “we’re not having midterms” crowds. Pour one out for them.

        Its not always a psyop, sometimes they’re just out here trying to justify their lazy self-defeating personality.

      Everyone said “trump is not leaving office”

      And they said, “the corporate Dems share the same donors as MAGA”

      Neither of those has been disproven and we will quickly see how constrained they are and how no one can be held accountable. That is what people have been saying and that is not a psyop. It is 40 years of data

          It should frighten you more that they would even think that they can just go on living after all they’ve done. And all of you will accept Democrats working WITH him? Allowing him to taint this country and the office for another two years of more illegal and immoral corruption? Do you think they are going to stop Kushner? The cryptobribes? The secret Russia trips? Elon sabotaging Ukraine? Him selling secrets? Him and all of his cronies destroying the Epstein files? All of the missing oil and money from Venezuela? Assassinating an ICC Investigator that was looking into his WARCRIMES?

          And to you, this is winning?
