I am still stunned at the way the ongoing Midterms are playing out. I normally don't put much faith in polling, but even the Legacy Media was predicting a "red tsunami". As we sit here watching them slow walk/finish the steal in various locations, I can't help but wonder what is going on. Is the intent to demoralize us by stealing the election in plain sight? Are they hoping to foment political activism and unrest on the right in order to justify the further erosion of civil liberties ~ maybe even impose martial law? Right now, I feel like the alligator in the python's stomach...

Demoralize us? Yes. Laugh at us in plain sight? YUP!

Answer: "Yes". As always, the republican benchwarmers on Team Uniparty appear to be going along with it. I found the interviews with Blake Masters and Adam Laxalt on the eve of their respective losses where each seemed resigned to the result particularly troubling. It's almost like they "knew" all along but were playing the good soldier role.

[EDIT]: Add Kari Lake who also appears to be on the verge of losing her election. In Lake's defense, she was staunchest in her conviction that she would win when all the "votes" where counted. She was silent about the "ballots" part.

Well, it does take time to steal an election, especially when you have so many mail-in ballots that were turned in and you have no idea how many are for Rep so you have to figure that out before you can calculate how many fraudulent ballots you have to create to offset the Rep vote...and then create the faux ballots. So many ballots, so little time. Florida counted 7 million ballots in one day. Ariz is still counting a couple hundred thousand. Not hard to figure out what they are doing. That's the difference between an honest election and a stolen election.

I honestly felt like 2016 was our last honest national election. My feeling hasn't changed.

Msm is always ‘in’ on it. Maybe many R’s stayed home thinking there were enough going to the polls and their vote was not needed.

I know a lot of R’s who stayed home because they know the cheat happens and their votes don’t matter. It’s unfortunate that a very large amount of R’s feel this way and rather than step up, they sit home. No matter how hard we come out to vote, they always cheat and get away with it. At some point do we stop legitimizing these fake “elections”. Idk.

The perception by some republicans that their votes do not count and thus they do not participate is a major failure of the republican party. I'm cynical but I always vote. There's no honor in capitulation to tyranny.

Well, to be fair….the Rep party as we know it is a fraud and failure full of fake Rs who pretend to be one thing and then are another. How can we expect them to not fail at everything they do. 😒

We don’t have an actual party. We have a fragmented group of people who don’t know their ass from a hole in the ground, and yet continue to steal our money and lie to us about everything, and have no spine to stand up for their constituents, while putting a smile on their faces and regurgitate the words, try again next time. What we actually have is RHINOdemocRATS helping democrats stay in power. R’s disappeared a long time ago.

I'm exactly the same - can't not do our civic duty or it all falls apart. I felt good being in line with other patriots .... we'll see what happens.

Oh I agree. They are rolling over and letting this happen. It’s infuriating.

That is a huge concern of mine: conservatives not voting because the elections are stolen. Even if the elections are stolen, we need as many votes as possible- let's not give it away easily to the Marxist dems. And if some elections are honest I'd hate to conservatives to lose just because dems take voting more seriously.

California is a prime example of what they want to do with the entire nation. The R's (and there are a lot) have been annihilated in a few decades of this and now the only place to find an R in public office is in a closet or under a rock. They stole their way into power a long time ago and the people keep paying the price.

It's not difficult to understand what happened. I believe it's an amalgam of factors: voting irregularities, mail-in ballots, Dobbs and the abortion issue, the disaster that is the republican party (Michigan, for example) and its incompetent failure to seize the moment, the Trump/McConnell factor, the influence of MSM and Big Tech (thinking of Dr. Robert Epstein's "Google's Triple Threat" theory in particular), external interference.

In summary, the republicans have failed to understand the election landscape going back to 2010. It's becoming more clear that Trump was an aberration in 2016. They don't understand the machinery and they didn't understand that taking an absolutist position on abortion (I'm completely pro-life) will not win elections. They need to speak with one voice as the democrats have done since Barack Obama became their thought leader in 2008.

If cheating is the only way to win an election in this increasingly corrupt society then the republicans need to get better at it. They can outlaw it if and when they ever return to power. The Road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

The republicans need to get better at understanding the machinery that gets candidates elected and gaming the system better than the democrats. Lee Atwater, young Karl Rove, and Steve Bannon understood this. That includes mail-in voting, ballot harvesting, the roles of the media, academia, the entertainment industry, and Big Tech.

There's no honor in elections nor among thieves. Just read "The Prince' by Machiavelli. It's only about power and it has always been this way

I understand your sentiments but completely disagree with your solution. To cheat because the other side cheats?? That is wrong and to join them in dishonesty and deceit isn’t an option for me. We’re better than that! Instead get involved at the local level, in the schools and county meetings. Volunteer to be an election judge, a poll watcher or a poll worker. Band together with other citizens to get election officials and your state representatives to remove the opportunities to cheat (mail-in voting, ballot harvesting and the machines. Voting should be on paper ballots, watermarked and verified by voter ID and hand counted) Finally expose and severely punish anyone involved in cheating in an election.

I live in downtown Chicago. I have served as an election judge here.

My R votes truly are not counted. So I refuse to vote and legitimize the fraud.

I think maybe the media talked up the Red Wave to energize the Dems to turn out and vote. However, I would not be surprised that 'cheating' once again skewered the Will of the People. And once again in a system now rigged to marginalize 'we the people' into the dust bin of history (if not outright liquidate us).

Thank you for the encouraging reminder! The evil all around us is so very shocking and discouraging, but it is as prophesied in Scripture, and I know who will be victorious. I am Rapture ready...

I felt like when the msm states what is going to happen then they already know…. thus the steal. With Trump they did not see it happening and thats why we won! Remember them stunned!

By their own admission, they knew they screwed up in 2016 and vowed never to let it happen again. The 2018 'Blue Wave' was a correction that the GOP ignored.

Remember the Time Magazine article after the 2020 Election where they bragged about the convergence of forces to ensure that Trump would not be re-elected. The GOP ignored this as well.

This election cycle demonstrates that the 'Trump Moment' may have passed in 2018. Of course, he had to run in 2020. Perhaps it is time to move on.
