Nice to see our resident MAGA yipper with the impeccable information sources learned a big nothing on Tuesday night.
Hope it's the same for Republicans everywhere. That will be an extinction-level event in 2028.
Maybe. Maybe not. No, I knew Tuesday was coming.
The messaging from Republicans nationwide was something like: "socialism terrorist commie immigrant girls sports".
And they're not wrong. What was wrong was in underestimating the fatigue voters have with high gas prices. Scott Jennings nailed it the other day when he said the pain was short term and the payoffs too long term.
That is not a message to voters who are squeezed to the breaking point by foolish tariffs, foolish wars, insane grocery prices, insane gas prices, bands of roving racist ICE thugs, elimination of healthcare subsidies, unaffordable housing, billionaire tax cuts, and the overwhelming stench of raw corruption in government.
Health insurance subsidies: That's on the democrats. Obama built a system that never addressed the underlying problem and now...here we are.
Roving ICE thugs? A mistake the GOP made was in not touting the nationwide crime statistics. Correlation == causation in this case.
Housing? Talk to the Fed and to local zoning regulators. Here in King County, WA there are all sorts of rules about "impermeable surfaces" that prevent building more supply. Enough people are starting to flee Seattle that prices are coming down, though.
Billionaire tax cuts? Tax cuts were made for seniors and service workers.
At any rate. Good to see that there's at least one democrat who understands the assignment.
