We now have a pretty clear picture of how the 2022 election went. Far from the overwhelming predictions of a red wave (by myself included, even if my predictions were criticized pre-election as being too understated), the end result is an unmitigated disaster for the Republican Party and the country. Democrats have been handed a fresh mandate, holding the Senate and perhaps only losing the House by a vote or two. With those margins, it’ll be easy to peel off a few blue-state Republicans to pass objectionable bills. In short, not only has nothing changed but the left has been energized by a political outcome

I prefer and agree with Mark Steyn's observation: Once you've lost the culture, elections don't really matter.
We have lost the culture, permanently IMO, and as we saw last Tuesday, disastrous, national death wish-propelled policies prevailed and will no doubt continue. To top it off, Pennsylvania elected a brain-dead Jack-O-Lantern.

Grievances abound at the moment, like they’re spewing forth explosively from a blown pressure cooker.
It’s almost as if the main purpose of conservatism is to produce grievances, governance is an occasional byproduct.
I don’t disagree with Bonchie a bit. I’m not going to dog pile on Trump just yet, but Bonchie makes a good point that we should look at political figures as tools, or maybe temporary workers. Once you become attached emotionally, you’ve got a potential problem.
Trump’s political success is the result of decades of failure on the part of the GOP, from my peep hole. They were handed control and mandates several times and ended up throttling the conservative movement. Trump exposed, maybe not deliberately, the extreme effort required to move the ball and the extreme resistance anyone who tries will encounter. And where all the resistance will come from.
Who would stand up to that over the next six years? Who could? Maybe it’s DeSantis, I really don’t know, those aren’t rhetorical questions.

The Republicans win the Democrats win, it really does not matter because the American people continuously loose under each scenario. Granted special interest groups get first dibs on table scraps and each group has their favorite team. America began dying under the first Bush and honestly has not stopped since. # 3 is correct the current “culture” of America is sick and twisted.

The writer (and others, including LDotters) have posited that the McNuts running the Republican Party “must go.”
How is that to be accomplished? The Senators and Congressmen elect their leaders —not the voters.
How is “change” to be effected? Riddle me that.

Just another Bonchie attack on Trump and MAGA. Just with a little camouflage this time. Could Bonchie secretly be Ann Coulter?

Does anyone really believe getting rid of Trump, McConnell, and McCarthy will actually fix anything?

Did the 18-40 year olds turn out to vote for abortion and student loan forgiveness? Hmmm...

The difference with Trump is that he is the only one that can stop Globalism.

The facts of the matter are as long as you have mail in ballots in any shape or form there will be wide spread voter fraud. The only fix is to clean up the voter roles, require picture ID and in-person voting. Until that happens in every state it won't matter how good your candidate is the vote won't matter only the number of ballots to support the fraud.

Elections are a joke! They are staged so that we are distracted by it while the evil doers get more! It’s all staged and we are suckers playing along! I refuse to submit anymore!
