U.S Midterm elections. Red or Blue?

[WellDressed]

Lol *wry laugh* xx

Oh , Barney , far from it , … but I do own a gun - does that count x

In my country there’s no longer a Center .

It’s all animosity and antagonism .

Dt - the ginger menace - had normalized violence and overt aggression ,

blatant unashamed lying and taking advantage , intimidation , corruption and graft ;

the far left has normalized being ‘offended’ and the madness that’s going on

with the ‘abc mafia’ intimidating coercing and bullying public discourse and

political elections / appointments : is tearing at the very fabric of our nation !

I suspect a lot of it propagated by outside forces too. What better way to destroy your enemy than to get get them to tear themselves apart from the inside while thinking what they're doing is virtuous.

Same way all big nations send in provocateurs when trying to destabilise a nation, US has done it, China has done it, Europe has done it, Russia has done it. America would not be immune to this.

The Republican and Democratic parties, or, to be more exact, the Republican-Democratic party, represent the capitalist class in the class struggle. They are the political wings of the capitalist system and such differences as arise between them relate to spoils and not to principles

In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.

Both parties are beholden to the corporate oligarchy and have consistently colluded to corrupt the institutions that act as safeguards to America's fetishized ideals of democracy and freedom.

DeSantis handily wins Florida ; he’s 44 years old ; has beeen hinting at running for Prez in ‘24 .


Dt’s reaction to the possibility :

“ "I don't know if he is running. I think if he runs, he could hurt himself very badly.
I really believe he could hurt himself badly," Mr Trump told Fox. "I don't think it would be good for the party."
If Mr DeSantis were to announce a presidential bid, Mr Trump said he would reveal "things about him that won't be very flattering - I know more about him than anybody - other than, perhaps, his wife".


If DeSantis elected , he would be one of the youngest presidents in history .

May be a good change from the dinosaurs - even if he’s a Republican .

So far I don’t see any viable Democrat candidate - and I’m not sure the country

could survive another Dem Prez at this point in time .

Choice between dt and DeSantis ? I’d take Florida Man .

I’m looking at the election results : house had gone Red , Senate neck and neck .

California stayed Blue with Newsom re-elected as Governor . My State in a dire state .


With House gone Red , Biden’s presidency stops Now .

He will not be able to get any legislation through - will be mired down in the House before

could ever reach Senate floor for a hearing , let alone for voting or gosh passing a bill / law .

Imo next President will be red , the question is which version .

What’s going on in the Blue states atm - must stop !

Lawlessness , lack of policing , intimidation of the population by violence ;

Hogtying of decent people by ‘political correctness’ and intimidation and

Cancel culture ; social media mobs destroying people’s lives and livelihoods

merely for having a differing opinion ; vagrants , bandits and gangs overrunning

our cities , daylight robberies and random vicious violence against regular decent people .

What is happening in Cali , NY , and in other Blue states Cannot be tolerated and the

Only way I see out of it is with a semi-decent Republican President .

That wouldn’t be dt ; I’d hope that if DeSantis was to win , his more outlandish notions

might be moderated by the Office and state of the Presidency , and he ( or another )

would be able to bring law and order back to the lawless states that the woke and

‘progressive’ pandering to a particular but vocal minority Democrat leaders had wrought .

I am astonished that the highest crime districts had once again elected the very same people

who have Brought the violence and degradation of society to them by enacting ‘progressive’ laws ,

by ‘defunding’ the police , by coddling the criminal and disregarding decent citizens’ valid concerns .

SoCal and the Coast+ Blue incumbents re-elected ; ( the northeast / midlands voting red ).

I have no words .

It’s a sickness .


I have always voted Democrat ; pains me to hope for a ‘decent’ Republican to win .

I see no other way out - and the price to pay is high .

Our country as we have known it is no longer .

The country I grew up in is no longer .

Now to try salvage what can be saved

- a DeSantis win might placate and bring their ‘base’ in line as well ?

Is that too much to hope for ? A Prez that might reign in the belligerent far right ,

stomp out the belligerent far left madness , and in meantime not trample

on ‘reasonable’ personal freedoms ?

Nooooooooo !!

Please Don’t Even !

NOOOOOO !

[EscortInspector]

Nooooooooo !!

Please Don’t Even !

NOOOOOO !

I wouldn't be surprised...

I mean its just a hunch but, could it be that the picture that MSM is trying to project on state of things in the US is not exactly reflected in reality?
Could it be that people are voting based on what they see with their own eyes? Fake agendas, collapsing economy, list can go on.

Not surprised by CA results, anyone sane has left the place

I think this election has shown that Trump doesn't have the support for another run, people are fatigued with him. DeSantis absolutely crushed Florida, if republicans want to have a chance in 2024 Trump needs to step aside

In meantime :

“ Dozens of Republican candidates who have cast doubt on the results of the 2020 election have been elected to

state and nationwide offices.” — BBC
