Thank you Jeff for the more uplifting message. It's much needed this morning particularly since I long ago went off SSRIs opting for more natural, healthy methods of coping. I agree that the vaunted "Red Wave" was media hype that personally I never believed. The results are still shocking, however.

That said, I am particularly shocked by the election results in Michigan where the Whitmer Cabal ran the table despite the destruction caused by her administration's pandemic policies. Apparently, unfettered abortion access is more important to Michiganders than economics and personal freedom. I'm so glad we got the f*** out of there.

Yeah, my family and I fled Michigan for Florida earlier this year, taking 4 GOP votes with us. I think a big part of Dixon's loss is explained by all the freedom loving Michiganders who've left over the last 2 years. Michigan is a sinking ship, and I suspect even more will leave now.

I don't pay any attention to the MSM but my brother-in-law saw her at the Trump rally (where he caught Covid. Digression: Paxlovid failed miserably while the Ivermectin I gave him wiped it out!) and was so unimpressed by her that he actually thought that she may be controlled opposition.

He pointed out that she came out against abortion even in the case of rape and incest. He thought her saying that made no political sense.

Tudor Dixon's nomination was a diabolical failure. I warmed up to her in the late stages but I never thought that she had a chance objectively. Dixon's nomination, along with the leading candidates such as Chief Craig being disqualified due to signature issues in their petitions, demonstrated the fundamental incompetence of the Michigan GOP. It was almost as if they wanted to lose which they did in spectacular fashion.

Regardless, I'm still astonished that Whitmer garnered so much support (alleged voting irregularities, aside) despite her pre-covid failure to address Michigan's third world standard road system, businesses fleeing the state and her failure to address Michiagn's economic problems, her Covid policies, and her personal hypocritical conduct that flew in the face of her lockdown rules.

I watched a segment of her victory speech on the Detroit News site. She looked like Mussolini, so there's that, too.

The Uniparty election industry has such a lot of scripts and power plays in the old ‘play book’. Controlled Opposition is an important category. And they never sleep, are always working on the future goals. They play the long game, while we admire the latest ‘Savior’ they give us. Only in the end all their Saviors just melt into that comfortable corruption and down, down, down we go.

We are manipulated from dawn to dusk and probably while we’re sleeping 😴

I heard that Tudor Dixon was put in place by the Democrats, via the Democrats destroying whoever the first choice Republican candidate was. The Democrats employed this strategy all over the country, spending months taking out preferred Republican candidates for many different offices. It seems to have worked.

So are we. That said, despite living in a very red southern county, I am noticing a lot of NY, CA, and IL license plates, particularly as you get closer to the state capital which was one of only a couple of counties that actually went blue in this election.

I live in a small foothills town in N. California. When I moved here in 1987, it was very very red with a mostly over 50 population, a lot of retired people. But it was seen as a very desirable area to escape to, and since 1987 more and more of the lefties from the San Francisco Bay area as well as L.A. moved here, first with vacation homes, then to live here as they retired. So now this area has become uncomfortably blue. This is what they do, they move and bring their lefty voting and ideas with them and over time, they change an area. Then they wonder why that lovely area they moved to has changed. A real disconnect.
