Former Trump campaign chairman and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told his podcast viewers that Republicans should take Tuesday night’s losses to heart, saying: “The midterms start tonight, and the warning signs are flashing.” He observed that “Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners,” marking “their first statewide wins in 30 years.”
Far-right influencer Mike Cernovich (who spawned the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory) tweeted: “Ted Cruz and Mark Levin are walking Trump into impeachments and then prison. 2026 will be a blood bath.” MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec likewise warned that “2026 will be worse if we don’t course-correct.”
The fact that they have a golden opportunity right now convinces me of the fact that they will fumble the absolute fuck out of it. They already went to war against mamdani. Any progress will be in spite of the D party.
Did you see the part where the defacto leader of the party didn’t show up to his own press conference, so the reporters asked Bernie (who was just watching from the back) if he’d answer questions?
The Democratic establishment fought Mamdani (and progressives generally) along with Trump and the oligarchs and lost massively. Both parties are in chaos right now, because it’s obvious that money is no longer enough to win elections, even safe ones
They’re all going to be quiet for a while before the other shoe drops, hopefully the infighting will make it easier for progressives to rise to prominence
They had so many opportunities to learn their lesson since 2016 and every time they have refused. I’m fully expecting them to learn nothing again.
This is the real and probably only hope. If progressives thrash the establishment dems hard enough, they’ll at least pay lip service to them.
