Democrats could misinterpret the Red Trickle

[Dragonlady]

What I find interesting about the old media’s reporting on the 2020 election is anyone who questions the results is labeled an election denier. The MSM is 100% in unison unwilling to consider election fraud, even though we know election fraud has existed long before Trump.

This tells me the MSM is likely covering up something.

The Courts, the election officials, the FBI, the DoJ, and the MSM all looked Trump's claims of election fraud and found NOTHING. It's not the MSM who is lying to you here.

This tells me that you have no critical thinking abilities whatsoever.

Correct. Both ends just feed into the other, making the other worse. That's what our political "system" incentivizes and rewards.

We have to fix the "system". That's on us. We might want to get started on that pretty damn soon.

Prior to the great Rush Limbaugh, the Democrat media was all there was. They could gently guide us into Marxism without anybody noticing. Thanks to Rush, people now realize kindly old grandpa Walter Cronkite was a leftist. Not mainstream America as was portrayed.

He won because of mail in ballots before he was exposed in the debates.

While he did stumble at points in the debate...it was clear that overall he was doing well and all indications are that he is recovering well.

THAT is what voters saw

Trump never wins anything had the D Party not abandoned the working class.

I see. So you would have us believe conservative's susceptibility to the siren song of autocracy, xenophobia, and the alluringly simplistic message of a demagogue is the fault of Dems.

BTW, in what way did the Dems abandon the working class?

I'm seeing a lot of barely-hidden glee from the Left over the most successful mid-term performance of a party in power in decades. Given the stakes, I can certainly understand that. But at the same time, it would be stupid for them to draw any long-term conclusions from this.

The primary reason the Dems did so well was not because they have a vice-like grip on the issues, or because their positions on the cultural issues in particular are representative of Americans across the country. It's far more because they had the good fortune of running against an embarrassing clan of clowns, buffoons, frauds and ignoramuses.

There are plenty of smart people left in the GQP, and there's a pretty good chance they're going to learn from this catastrophic wasted opportunity. I'd guess they've learned not to run people like they did. And if the Dems take this as some kind of mandate or confirmation, they're asking for trouble. America is not on a wing, it's across a broad spectrum between the wings.

Easy Vichy Mac.

Dems are not exactly giddy

We likely will hold the Senate but it is looking like the House is gone (although by a hair)

A GOP House is not a good thing and Dem voters know that

I would not call your democrat candidates anything less than embarrassing nut cases either

You should pin a medal on the spy at the supreme court who leaked the abortion decision

Unmarried liberated women rose up and voted for sex without consequences and thats what turned the election

If you think the government can effectively investigate itself, particularly when it involves Dumb Don, you’re more uninformed than I previously thought.

Do you think the USG has EVER lied to the American people?

Thanks to Rush, we have come to learn American is not exceptional in the way we previously thought. The country is populated by bigots, nativists, and folks attracted to authoritarian impulses just as people are in countries I thought were beneath us are. How naive of me.

 

[Blaster]

The election results indicate a solid rejection of the Democratic party of slavery.

The Democrats got their asses whooped. They lost the house. Their sociopathic hero definition off hypocricy "rules for thee but not for mee" Nancy Pelosi will no longer be the Speaker of the House. She's fucking fired.

And her husband recently got hammered too.

Neither party got their asses whooped.

Cable News has definitely played a huge role, as have talk radio and the internet.

The day Reagan repealed the Fairness Act is the day American media took a major turn for the worse.

However it shakes out the dems will decide that they have a "mandate" and push even farther left if they are able to.

Which might work until the torches and pitchforks come out.

Then........................................FUN!

And just for the record, I'll just repeat I don't take any crap regarding Rush Limbaugh. You can insult me or whatever, buy you will NOT go after the greatest journalist, historian in history, the iconic Rush Limbaugh. You try to attack him, you will go through ME. I just wanted to make that clear. Forum veterans already know my feelings on this and pretty much stay quiet. This post is primarily for the newbies who may not know.

A GOP House is not a good thing and Dem voters know that

Without the ability to pass legislation the Repubs in the House will be relegated to throwing shyte on the wall in the form of petulant, worthless investigations designed to animate the rabid base..........to virtually no affect.

C'mon man, Rush was just an entertainer with a good shtick. Namely, the ability to gin up hatred and spew disinformation every time he opened his mouth.

If it rips the gavel from the wretched claws of Pelosi, that is a victory for all Americans.
She is the poster child of the need for Congressional Term limits.
Career Politician should not be a part of our vocabulary.

As evidenced by the midterms most Americans will put the coming Repub hissy fit on ignore.

The Way Things Aren't: Rush Limbaugh's Reign of Error​

Well despite the supposed rampant cheating by the Democrats, for the 2nd straight election (at least) the GOP has picked up seats in the House. For likely the 4th election where Pelosi was either speaker or Majority Leader, the GOP has made gains. The Democrats are unlikely to learn anything from this fact. I mean...how many dismal showings does your party have to have before the rank and file vote you out of the leadership positions?

I think one reason the Dems did well was because they passed some bills...the basic essential function of the Congress. These days, clearing that low hurdle is enough to stand in for actual effective governance and was missing from the previous administration. Will that be enough to sustain going forward? No...and it shouldn't be. We're a great nation. One can only hope that our elected leaders would want to keep that going.

It may be interesting if Progs do retain the Senate and House. After all, the party now is pushing Globalist socialism and there are many more trillions of fiat dollars in legislation to vote on. To me, Progs are vengeance. Vendetta to real and perceived wrongs that goes back to the beginning of time. And someone get the blame for it.

I love my new chiropractor here in South Dakota! He keeps copies of Limbaugh's magazine on the table in his waiting room. I had the delightful experience of witnessing a silly leftist melting down when he saw them. Started hollering about how he wasn't going to stay there in the presence of such filth. Receptionist said, "Bye" and leftist started sputtering and crying and stormed out.

They actually think their tantrums work everywhere. Thank God for red states like SD!

Wow! I had completely forgotten about that little piece of theatre. Thanks for reminding me!
