2022 midterm election results *** OFFICIAL THREAD ***

[dannno]

Not sure how your reply relates to Schumer and I never said anything like that. My opinion was it was obvious to anyone paying attention that the strategy was to say the election was going to be stolen months in advance. Then tapes come out with guys like Bannon saying it was going to be the strategy.

I also always believed that there is in fact voter fraud each cycle and in this case I was willing to look at what was being put forward by guys like Lindell to see if it actually made that much of a difference. Well I downloaded that spreadsheet from that big show he did early on to verify items and found allot of it to be utter nonsense. Like items linking to random tweets on Twitter of people complaining without any real evidence of it. All smoke and mirrors.

What more do you need that you continue to fall for the art of the con? Me thinks you are too caught up and tuned into the grifters in news cycle making a buck off this stuff.

Isn't Bannon going to jail?

Trump lost a significant amount of his wealth.

What is your definition of a grifter?

I don't know. Is he? He was sentenced three weeks ago. If that had happened to you, you'd have been in for three weeks.

Trump lost a significant amount of his wealth.

Prove it. This is the first president since Wilson that couldn't be bothered to dummy up a tax return for public consumption, and you'd have us believe you know where he stands?

What is your definition of a grifter?

Again with this crap? You live in Southern California and you think the definitions of normal English words is a matter of personal preference. Why do you pretend you aren't a prog?

[LibertyEagle]

But this is your problem. You want there to be a physical organization of people you can point to and say, "THIS group is right." Well, if there is such a group of people, it is certainly not the GOP! The Repugs have utterly betrayed the United States, certainly at the national level, (state/local is more complicated). The Repugs created the War of Terror -- basically everything that has happened at the national level in the US since 2001 has flowed from this root betrayal. There would be no NSA mass-surveillance without the Repugs creating it. There would be no Obamacare without the Repugs' massive Big Pharma subsidies under Bush. You are living in denial of the blatantly obvious fact that the top leadership of the Repugs have conspired with the Dems to whore themselves out to Klaus Schwab's Beast World Order. I don't have "proof" that Mitch McConnell has bowed the knee to Klaus Schwab but there is no other logical explanation for the decisions being made at the top of the GOP than that... Mitch McConnell has bowed the knee and kissed Klaus Schwab's ring. You can live in denial of that, and pretend that only Biden/Pelosi/Schumer are traitors to the United States... or you can wake up and face the cold-hard truth...

There are globalists in all of the parties; including Libertarian.

[ClaytonB]

Well, yes. But that's somewhat irrelevant because what makes the GOP/Dem parties "significant" is their massive, deeply-entrenched electoral machinery. The LP has nothing like that, so the globalists in the LP are not much of a threat.

[TheCount]

The ones on the left won't admit it, but they know it deep down inside. So do you.

At some point you'll have to decide if the deep state is bumbling and incompetent or all-powerful and threatening.

Those aspects are not mutually exclusive.

[Swordsmyth]

But the problem is that the traitors themselves have been using this very trick as camouflage. Even within the GOP, they keep talking about "RINOs" as if they are not themselves the RINOs! If "Republican" ever meant anything, it doesn't anymore. I have spent my entire adult lifetime looking at the rotten fruits produced by the GOP and telling myself, "But next time, the tree will produce good fruit." No, it's a rotten tree and I know this because it never produces good fruit!! Sure, everybody makes mistakes. Even organizations make mistakes. Sometimes, they just need a second chance. But the Repugs are on their 12th chance in my adult lifetime. Not once have they produced anything good and even the good things that have happened (e.g. overturning RvW) have happened despite them, not because of them.

"The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire." (Matthew 3:10)

Gaming the kingdom itself, as the top Repugs have been doing throughout my entire adult lifetime, is a guaranteed ticket to the fires of hell...

That's why I hope Trump's big announcement is a new party.
Even Trump is not throwing the bums out of the GOP fast enough, he is also the only person who could create a viable 3rd party to leave them behind.

[Swordsmyth]

Those aspects are not mutually exclusive.

And that's why we are not already in a totalitarian communist regime.
Fortunately they are getting less all powerful and more bumbling and incompetent.

I don't know about that. WE just had an election with no gains; Nordstream pipelines were blown up with Europe about to be heading into the dark ages and the same planned for here; billions have been stolen to be sent to Ukraine and, before that, for "COVID" and the biggest human trafficking operation in history is going on at our southern border, followed by the same in Europe. It look, to me, like the psychopaths are winning.

I think the imagery of the Wizard of Oz is an excellent way to understand the clown-"elites" -- they project this larger-than-life image but, when you peek behind the curtain, you see that it's just a frail old man. That's not to say that their power is "fake" -- obviously, they are moving the masses this way and that way. But it's a natural human trait to "fill in the blanks" of what we can't see, with what we are shown. So, when they show us images of lots of heavily-armed police and surveillance systems, it's easy to imagine "they already control everything and there's no hope." The reality is that they are gaming everything, and that's a big part of how they are able to apparently achieve this impossible degree of "hyper-competence". If their political tactics are so effective, how come we're not able to copy them and at least neutralize them? Well, it's because we keep trying to play the game "fair-and-square", and they're not even doing that. They're rigging the game, long before you ever get to the ballot-box, the game has already been rigged a million ways from Sunday.

Just think about Elon Musk's disclosure that Twitter may be made up of as much as 80% bots (a number he has not revised, even after acquiring the company). Based on my own reading and technological knowledge, I am of the opinion that this bot problem is much more widespread than non-techies would imagine -- I am comfortable suggesting that north of 50% of all social media platforms are farmed/bot/fake/scripted users and content. (I am excluding ads and just talking about the feed itself... but you'll realize that ads are also part of the machine once you understand how it works.) Obviously, the vast bulk of opinion-formation occurs nowadays through digital/social media. So, while you're handing out flyers door-to-door and sticking yard signs in people's yards, the opposition is firing off batch-scripts on an Amazon Web Services server to feed 100% fake content onto the social media feeds of everyone in your city, county, state and nation. It's no more difficult to seed this kind of fake push-content to the entire nation, than it is to do it in a local city (the Internet is inherently global).

The globalists are a paper-tiger. They're an extremely dangerous paper-tiger, but still a paper-tiger.

After slow-rolling the count for almost a full week, Alaska just had a ballot dump that put establishment Republican Lisa Murkowski behind by only .2% to MAGA Republican Kelly Tshibaka, previously Murkowski down by about 2%.

These big moves are a sign that they are both arrogant and desperate.
This is when they look most powerful but are most vulnerable to their own mistakes.

You can't be serious. These aren't moves, they are long term strategies. As for "desperate", one needs to feel fear to feel desperate. Did you know that psychopaths don't feel fear? That's a fact and it's what gives them such an advantage in whatever they do.

[susano]

True!

To give you an idea of how badly the national GOP soldiered this whole cluster $#@!:



That's by CD not county.

Excluding the few grey areas that have yet to be called, how much land mass is that by percentage?

70?

80?

More, that voted for GOP representation.

Raw House numbers look like this:

50,045,157 Democrat 47.5
53,664,484 Republican 50.9
Republicans +3.4

And yet because of the total $#@!ery of GOP leadership, net governor seats were lost, net senate seats were lost, net state senate and legislature seats were lost, and the US House barely, just barely flipped over to GOP control, which is not guaranteed yet, as a number of races have yet to be called.

Utterly $#@!ing worthless.

[Anti Federalist]

Oh, and any state that initiates "ranked choice voting" will never, ever, elect a "conservative" again.

No surprise there.

Only thing that surprises me (slightly) is that Georgia has now, three times in a row, voted for a black Communist for senator.

"The Long March" has paid off for the left, in spades.

What's left of this country that does not secede will look like Venezuela in another 20 years or less.

And, of course...everybody has kept their jobs or gotten promotions.

This is Trump's fault. There is no excuse for the $#@!ty candidates he pushed in the primaries. PA and GA could have been won with mediioce middle of the road Republican candidates.

Meh...you're grasping at easy answers. Not that electing a slate of more Mitt Romneys and Lisa Murks and Turtles McConnell are any kind of "answer"

The real answer is much more complicated and much more difficult to correct.

It would have been a better result though. Controlling the house and senate would have been a preferable outcome even if that included middle of the road experienced Republicans in office. Did anyone really thing Walker or Oz would have been effective senators?

Secession is not going to happen. We are living out the modern version of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.

[Occam's Banana]

Secession is not going to happen.

It may not happen, and may not be likely to happen, but I don't think it can be claimed with certainty that it will not or can not happen.

We are living out the modern version of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire.

An even better analogy is the decline and fall of the Roman Republic.

The parallels between present-day America and the late Roman Republic are many and striking - increasing degradation and escalating abrogations of mos maiorum (especially in regard to its political norms), massive and contentious expansions of enfranchisement, the financial and logistic difficulties of maintaining client-state hegemony, etc. (The only really "big" things missing are analogs of the Marian military reforms.)

If not repetition, then there is certainly a lot of "rhyming" going on. Rhymes have a tempo, though, so before we get to our version of Julius Caesar (let alone Octavian/Augustus) - and if you are correct that secession won't happen (or maybe even because it does happen) - then we're basically just waiting for a latter-day Sulla ...
