They’re not. The public has simply turned against Republicans and Dems are only succeeding by default. It’s like a football game when the other team keeps fumbling on their own 1 yard line. And your own team is too inept to score a touchdown so you end up winning 3-0 (on 8 field goal attempts, 7 of them missed.) That’s how bad the Democrats are. That’s how inept the football game is.

Voltaire 5,433 Posted October 3 Virginia and New Jersey are blue states. Virginia only went red last time because the Dem they ran was particularly awful and made too many unforced errors. This NJ Democrat is just as bad as that Virginia Democrat but ... it's New Jersey. Blue voters are entitled to elect blue governments and they do. It their prerogative. Its not like Ohio went blue, that would be tragic. Overall Its been a spectacular nine months but I'm feeling particularly good this week, seeing Russ Vought being provided with a Congressional mandate to unclog many of the DOGE related needed reforms that are being stalled in lower courts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Real timschochet 7,266 Posted Thursday at 02:04 PM With regards to Katie Porter, she probably really hurt her campaign yesterday. Too bad, she would have been an excellent governor. But I’m not sure how it applies to this thread. The next governor of California is going to be a Democrat. And that will continue until Republicans abandon their MAGA anti-immigrant xenophobia and return to the days of Ronald Reagan. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HellToupee 2,103 Posted Thursday at 02:19 PM The sad reality of the Democrat party today Quote They don’t believe you can be reasoned or compromised with, and they’re telling you in writing and on camera that they’re not interested in trying. The radicals running the Democrat Party have no interest in sharing a country with you. At best, they want you impotently sidelined while they seize power; at worst, they take joy at the thought of putting “two bullets” in your skull. Just ask Katie Porter and Jay Jones, two candidates for statewide office in major states who just said the quiet part out loud. Jones — as you’ve no doubt heard, unless you live in a hole in the ground otherwise known as the corporate media’s dwindling subscription lists — texted a colleague about his fantasies of putting “two bullets” in Republican Todd Gilbert, who had committed the unforgivable offense of saying kind words about a Democrat who had recently died. Jones, who is running to be Virginia’s top law enforcement officer, also expressed a wish for Gilbert’s wife to watch her children die and said the Gilberts were “breeding little fascists.” Porter, a Democrat candidate for governor of California, laughed in the face of a reporter who asked what Porter would “say to the 40 percent of California voters, who you’ll need in order to win, who voted for Trump?” “How would I need them in order to win, ma’am?” Porter scowled, before turning to the camera to laugh. “If it is me versus a Republican, I think that I will win the people who did not vote for Trump.” The longhouse is not sending its best! After the reporter offered Porter multiple opportunities to recover her answer and clarify whether she actually meant “you don’t need those Trump voters,” Porter called her “unnecessarily argumentative” and tried to end the interview. The message was clear: Katie Porter is not interested in representing the 40 percent of her state that identifies as Republican. She just wants to rule them. Jones and Porter are stupid enough to say out loud — or in writing — what they believe about people who hold different political beliefs than theirs, but they aren’t alone. Not a single Democrat in Congress, nor Democrats’ Virginia gubernatorial candidate, has been willing to call for Jones’ withdrawal from the race over his murderous fantasies. Nancy Pelosi went on CNN Wednesday and defended Jones with this incredible line: “What I understand is they say that, on balance, he is a better person to be attorney general.” Jones’ opponent, incumbent Jason Miyares, is by all accounts a moderate — he’s a Republican who introduced a red flag gun control bill while in the Virginia legislature and chose not to join other red states’ fight against FDA approval of the deadly abortion drug mifepristone. But because he has an R next to his name, Pelosi thinks he is morally inferior to the guy who gleefully dreams of executing his Republican colleagues. As for Porter, her comments were just a less delicate version of what Joe Biden said in his inaugural address, when he said America just needed “enough of us” to “carry all of us forward” into Democrats’ dystopic agenda. In other words, we don’t care if you like what we’re doing — there are more of us than you, and you can’t stop us. In Democrats’ own words, they view half the country as deplorable garbageat best and fascist Nazis at worst. Accordingly, their job is not to convert or win over the fascist garbage, but to overpower and stamp it out. They don’t believe you can be reasoned or compromised with, and they’re telling you out loud, in writing, and on camera, that they’re not interested in trying. The obvious implications of that conclusion are pretty dark. In the context of the past several weeks, they’re even darker. It’s been less than a month since a deranged leftist assassinated Charlie Kirk. Just in the last week, another leftist who expressed hatred for Catholics, Jews, the Supreme Court, and immigration agents was arrested for showing up with explosives at a mass where conservative Supreme Court justices were likely to be in attendance. And a Biden judge gave the would-be assassin of Justice Brett Kavanaugh a dramatically light sentence, telling him she let him off easy because of his claimed transgender identity — a clear nod to other potential killers that they can expect lenience in return for their observance of leftist rituals. If anything, this violence has inspired Democrats to turn the temperature up, not down. It’s only a matter of time before more guys with rifles make Jones’ violent fetishes a reality. Worse, Jones and the rest of his party know it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
