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.”
“We can’t win if trump isn’t on the ballot, and that’s never happening again.”
So, you built a cult of personality with an obvious expiration date. And that expiration date already passed. Lol good
Why just talk about the major elections? Majority of what could be voted for was the center leaning left to far left people and measures/bills. This is even bigger than what outlets make it seem to be. Local elections matter.
Course correct from what? This is what they voted for. There’s no course correction from this. Unless of course they mean something else.
Dems can make some huge gains if they have a working class message. Plan on holding Trump/ICE accountable for their actions and not be Israel simps. It isn’t hard. Trump and Steve Bannon keep hinting at some plan if they lose so it won’t be easy even with Trump being the worst.
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.
hopefully the infighting will make it easier for progressives to rise to prominence
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.
Only if these losers can’t take it.
I really hope we’re even allowed to have an election in 2026.
My Spidey Sense tells me he’ll start a war in the next 12 months then get the Supreme Court to side with him on postponing elections during wartime, and then we’ll stay in a permanent state of war afterwards.Hopefully he dies and we impeach and remove the entire administration
I will be ecstatic the day he dies but the traitorous orange paedo being locked up in prison while seeing his cohorts and family going through the ringer is even more delicious…then him dying of an excruciatingly painful incurable cancer would be the cherry on top.
I feel like we missed that opportunity.
Agreed.
I was quite hopeful once Jack Smith was put on the case, but that hope was soon dashed.Biden dragged his heels on the prosecution for the top secret documents thing and I solely blame him for tRUMP walking free today. The orange buffoon should’ve been arrested immediately after the insurrection attempt.
“2026 will be worse if we don’t course-correct.”
And course correct means? Don’t think we’re gonna like the answer.
Donald course-corrects daily. Today he’s the peace president, tomorrow we invade Aberbaijan and Albania.
I’m not against the idea of invading Azerbaijan personally especially if we ally Armenia, get fucked Turkey.
True, I reminds me of one of the only times NATO did anything good. By that I mean stopping the genocide in Kosovo.
Figure out how to lie more effectively
That doesn’t sound nearly insidious enough.
Never underestimate what the GQP will do to prevent anything resembling a fair election. They will purge voter registrations by the millions, gerrymander district maps to make them look like spider webs, and make registering and voting damn near impossible.
Republicans will burn the country to the ground to remain in power.
Why do all that when you can just have ICE arrest voters in the queue?
And don’t get caught handing out water or snacks.
Don’t forget about rigging the voting machines!!
Or making it a felony if an election candidate ever was fined for jaywalking or some other minor transgression … perhaps even give them jailtime for it …
Whoa whoa whoa we can’t ruin young Republican lives over minor transgressions.
It’s okay, the laws will only apply to democrats
There will always be a IOKIYAR clause for such things…
They’ll also start a war to remain in power. Fun.
A foreign war? They can try, but we don’t cancel elections for foreign wars, and it won’t give maga much of a boost in elections.
A civil war against Americans?
I don’t think they’d try, but if they did they’d fail. Like not just lose the war, they’d fail to start it.
Unarmed NG in a handful of cities is about all he can manage. Like, the only group he might be able to get to open fire on crowds is ICE, and even cops hate ICE more than they hate protesters.
If they thought they could do it, they’d have done did it by now.
They’ll be a last minute desperate attempt, but nothing will materialize
Thats a pretty optimistic take. Hope you’re right, for everyone’s sake.
It’s not just blind optimism…
There a lot, like a mind-blowing amount, of various reasons the US would be impossible to occupy, especially by a domestic force.
Like even protests, if they start cracking down we can just spread out.
Stop making protest happen downtown, and spread them out in the suburbs all around the city.
Spread the cops too thin, they’ll be too scared to do anything. Especially if protesters have vest and rifles.
If they thought they could do it, they’d have done did it by now.
Were only 10 months in. They’re still warming up.
first statewide wins in 30 years.
Wait what are Senators, then?
Steve Bannon? That chucklefuck is part of the problem. He shouldn’t get a pass just because he’s not one of Trump’s besties anymore. If somehow Trump does end up in prison after all, Bannon should be in the next cell over, having to watch all of Trump’s bowel movements through the bars.
He’s back in the fold, AFAIK.
“Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners,” marking “their first statewide wins in 30 years.”
What? Is he trying to gaslight the fact that both of Georgia’s US Senators have been Democratic since 2020? One of whom was subject of intense media coverage for back-to-back runoff elections in 2020 and 2022 with the US Senate majority up for grabs?
Yeah, I looked into it, they are saying these two specific seats were held by Republicans for decades. I’ve seen reports of 30 and 40 years.
A lot will change in a year.
Yep. We haven’t gotten a full year of the orange moron yet but January seems like a distant memory.
If true…I just LOVE that for them.
Outta the loop. What’s Cancun Cruz gotta do with this?
