I guess we’ll see what happens over the next couple of years. It’s really a lot like climate change: You have to take note of the weather, but it’s the AVERAGE that matters.
Been telling you that for awhile now, Mike. Glad you are finally understanding the people you promote, but knowing you will go back to promoting them soon enough.
Leaders tackle problems and come up with workable solutions. Leaders are not people who come up with insults and slogans, claim to be victims, promote unfounded conspiracy theories and try to "win’ by scaring people with unfounded fears of people who are different trying to “replace” them. I don’t know why people vote for people like that.
That’s the problem when one side spends decades promoting to their voters that negotiating with the other side is a moral failing. It forces the other side to only operate on slim majorities.
We have not yet understood that the other side is not changing their minds, or going anywhere; we will all continue living here. We can either: 1) Accept that others hold political views much different than ours; that it’s OK; they are not thereby evil; and resurrect the arts of toleration, peaceful coexistence, and negotiation and compromise. Or: 2) Decide to try to impose our wills by force or attempted physical annihilation on those who disagree; civil warfare of whatever sort. I personally recommend option # 1).
NBC News Has Some Fun Facts About How Much Damage Trump Did To “The Red Wave.”
How did Democrats stop a red wave in 2022?
The short answer: Donald Trump appears to have helped them.
In a major departure from past trends, the 2022 midterm election turned out to be nearly as much of a referendum on the defeated former president as it was on incumbent President Joe Biden, according to exit polls conducted by Edison Research for NBC News and other networks.
Nationally, 32% of voters in 2022 said their vote was “to oppose Joe Biden.” But 28% said their vote was “to oppose Donald Trump,” even though Trump was out of office. That suggests Trump’s continued dominance over the GOP made the 2022 election, in the minds of voters, almost as much about a defeated former president as it was about the current president and party in power…
Independent voters made up 31% of the electorate and they favored Democrats over Republicans by a margin of 49% to 47%, a stark break from the past four midterms in which they voted by double digits for the party out of power, according to exit polls.
“The former president cast a very long shadow over this election,” said Ken Spain, a former Republican campaign strategist. “From the candidates he endorsed to his refusal to take himself off the national stage in the run-up to the election, Trump was omnipresent.”
