    Fact is, even with such high diesel prices, this wasn’t a real tsunami. Blue won, but not by that much. Blue don’t have a supermajority in either of the houses. This means that there’s a huge portion of the electorate still thinking that they prefer trump over a dem candidate.

      Bruh, fucking Kansas turned blue. KANSAS. That is practically unheard of. This is a win beyond our wildest expectations.

      I’m an old guy, who has been paying close attention to elections since the 60s, and I’ve NEVER seen anything like this election.

      “Blue won, but not by that much.” Dude, TEXAS turned BLUE. Not just a little blue, ENTIRELY blue. The only Republican left is Ted Cruz, and that’s only because he wasn’t up for election. He’s in big trouble in 2028. Georgia turned fully blue, too. 75% of the states in the country are ruled by Democrat governors.

      This win was beyond ANYONE’S wildest imaginations. Sure there are a few dummies who think it’s a temporary issue, and MAGA will roar back in 2028, but they’re delusional. Looks like you’re one of them.

      Blue don’t have a supermajority in either of the houses.

      Only about a third of the Senate was up for re-election, and the House is gerrymandered to hell. The will of the voters is unequivocal here.
