So, it wouldn't be a morning after an election day without my pessimistic take.  So, here it is.

What this means is that over the next year, the fascists are going to take a super-maximalist, accelerationist approach to cramming their evil down America's collective throat.  I'm talking "ram a firehose of fascism down our throat and crank it to max pressure" stuff.  AND, they are going to octuple their efforts to suppress voting, shut down polling places, and just flat-out interfere with voting in any place where democrats may be found.  The chances of Trump simply declaring a made-up national emergency (or creating one, like by literally going to war with Mexico or some stupid shit) and cancelling elections (enforced by the national guard and ICE, which will see its mission vastly expanded as they function as the Trump regime's STASI) just went up materially.

The next year is going to be hell on earth.

And if the dems have any fucking brains at all, they should WELCOME it.  No compromise.  No quarter.  No nothing.  Stand firm and fight, and make the fascists reveal themselves for what they are: grifting fucksticks stealing our nation for the benefit of their oligarch buddies just to serve the interest of their hateful little egos.  Make them amp up their atrocities and theft, and make them do it out in broad daylight.  And yield NOT A SINGLE FUCKING INCH OF GROUND.  Just stand firm and tell them "no.  Fuck off."

100% agree.

And next year? Try the next three. If the Democrats take control of Congress in 2026, the Trump regime will simply ignore Congress and the Supreme Court will let him.

I don't think that is pessimistic, but pretty much what all of us expect to happen. I hope the Dems are up for it. We got some good players in the game last night at least.

Counterpoint: Their plans haven't changed. But now they know, in the House and Senate, and in the states, how vulnerable they are, esp in 2026.

We need to focus on purging the weak from the front lines. We're a big tent, we welcome effete dorks like Ezra Klein, but they absolutely have no role to play except as reliable voters.

siap - this is quite something. Rehmet with more votes than the 2 Rs totaled in Tarrant County.

Wow. Democrat Taylor Rehmet heading to a runoff with Wambsganss after getting 47.5% of the vote in a +18 Trump district. More than $4 million was spent by/in support of her two GOP opponents, with big checks from Miriam Adelson and billionaire Tim Dunn. Rehmet spent $68,000.

Taylor Rehmet will probably lose the runoff but that is a good sign.

Do you think this is an indictment against pedophile rapists and the entire child sex trafficking ring in general, or are voters simply upset that under this GOP government they are now feeding their children leaves (and what about when winter comes)?

Agree with this. I blame the media slightly more than stupid people. 

Amazing how much 2025 was a hyper correction for the fact that in 2024 voters clearly didn't know what they were voting for because the media didn't report on Trump's actual policies/voters refused to believe what they were voting for. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
Whether it was Muslim concerned about Gaza, young people worried about affordability, or Latinos upset about abuse of asylum rules, etc. they literally voted to make every problem they cared about worse. Often when Harris pointed this out the media even called her a liar.

I just hope people making decisions about the path forward see yesterday for what it was: an indication that people will come out to vote against Trump, if the situation is dire enough.  That means:

DONT STOP TRUMP FROM FUCKING UP THE COUNTRY.  Voice opposition, use the courts where you can, but otherwise get out of the dumb motherfucker’s way.  Do NOT help them reopen the government.  Let Trump keep fucking up the economy and exacerbating inflation with his kneejerk negotiated tariffs.  Let Trump turn Latinos against him by having ICE continually disappear people and arrest with no cause.

The worst thing that can happen over the next 12 months is for Trump to change course and we go into the mid terms with lower prices (if Trump abandons the tariffs), a functioning government (if Dems help them reopen and pass future spending bills), and ICE not a problem (with immigration “solved”).  The Dems need to do everything they can to ensure the next year is a case study on failure of authoritarian governance.

I think it's the opposite. I think Dotard is right that its because he was not on the ballot. It's a fucking cult, and he's a unique personality that cannot be replicated. My hope is that the fat bitch dies soon and that a significant portion of the elctorate loses interest again and sit on their fat asses during future elections (if they actually happen that is(. None of the polls matter, he would win again, in a landslide. Some may be upset about the shutdown, maybe Epstien, but trans panic is all it takes for them to vote for him and straight line R while they're at it.

Trump is the crazy ex they can't quit for a large chunk of this country.  They miss him when he's not in the White House, but then he lights everything on fire and everything goes to shit and they remember why they broke up with him in the first place.  As long as he's in office, he reminds people weekly of how terrible he is and they don't fondly look back on the good ole days that only exist in their head.  Trump in power costs Republicans elections.  It's when he's out of office that he helps them.  It doesn't make any sense unless you look at it from the crazy ex angle

Kinda. But the reason you get back with your crazy ex is because the sex is fucking insane (ask NMAS). I mean, with Trump, other than the first term stock market, its all Friday night missionary.

Also, I'm tickled by the fact that in America, anyone who is not full-on MAGA, 100% Trump loyalist is AN EBIL DEBIL COMMUNIST!

Take Mamdani's platform in the mayoral race....and apply it in any major western European city.  Berlin, Cologne, London, Brussels, Oslo, wherever.  That would be a pretty centrist-slightly center-left platform there.  Pretty fucking normal.  Not "communist" at all.

Our Overton Window is so fucking out of whack it's not even funny.  Anything less than full on fascist anarcho-capitalist is "COMMUNISM!" Any laws or regulations are "COMMUNISM!"  Anything that even remotely contributes to the public good is "COMMUNISM!"  I say let these fuckers keep calling everything left of Mussolini "communism."  They're wearing the word out and are working on making it meaningless.  I say we let 'em do it.

When all of his methods for "owning the libs" come down to "make life miserable for everyone who isn't a billionaire," you may start to realize that he just keeps setting off bombs with you in the room alongside the libs.  Eventually, all that shrapnel in your ass starts to hurt.
