There's occasionally been some positives i.e. some senate ground gained in 2018 or overperforming generic Rs in 2020 or them narrowly flipping the house in '22, but all of those were very conditional, had sharp contrasting edges (landslide house defeat in '18, Dems getting a trifecta in '20, Dems washing expectations and gaining seats in '22) and only 2021 has been an outright flop for them.

In contrast, Obama saw both 2010 and 2014, massive wave midterms for the GOP.

But tonight adds to the pile; Dems overperform Kentucky, flipped the VA house, kept Mississippi within 5%, and won by landslides in favor of Abortion/Marijuana in Ohio. Trump's been corrosive to the Republican Party and even Biden's status as an unpopular incumbent hasn't been enough to stop Dems having the best consistent cycle of wins in decades.

I remember people writing off the GOP after 2008, but that was just two election cycles. If they lose 2024 it'll be a near consistent string of horrendous losses/underperformances for eight years. If you look at conservative twitter, their talking heads are just saying "it's fraud," "we need to ban abortion", etc. Zero introspection. Just outrage, anger, promising to quadruple down even as suburbs become democrat-allied.

I guess this is mildly blogfaqs but I feel like I'm seeing a political party implode before my eyes

Im sure the fact they want to do away with elections entirely is just a coincidence.

This.

The party has no real reason to exist, and the sooner it loses any and all power, the better off the nation (and in some ways, the world) will be.

But more importantly, don't vote (R).

I wonder if Trump is basically Republican Obama in that he himself was popular but the party was not, guess we will find out next year...( When Obama was president, Dems would get their clocks cleaned every year unless Obama on was the ticket...)

Yeah I mean a large part of their base already won. They overturned Roe. They may not feel the need to hold their nose and vote for Rs anymore

Not necessarily. You've got five filthy goppers in the SCOTUS, three of which are turmpy boy stooges. I hope you enjoyed having various rights, because they're working on stripping those away.

Awww, is the MAGA cultist incensed that his daddy is costing the Christo-fascists elections?

Good times for America, bad time for Christo-fascists.

I think from 2018 and 2022 we already have (some) indications that Trump is making Republicans unpopular but that when he's actually on the ballot he does bring out some more people.

Don't believe for a second they will let you vote away the power, and the wealth comes with it, that they've accumulated over the years. They are working overtime now to suppress votes and gerrymander. Where that doesn't work they try and strip power away from the offices they've lost

When it becomes clear that those won't work they'll turn to violence. They've already done it once. If you think they won't do it again you are mistaken.
