In Indiana, 6 of the 7 state senators who voted to deny trump's subversion of democracy by blocking the unprecedented, hyper-partisan attempt at mid decade gerrymandering lost their re-election bids.
Defy Trump, lose your seat: Indiana primary delivers a warning to GOP lawmakers
Indiana Republicans who defied Donald Trump’s gerrymandering push paid for it Tuesday, as primary voters ousted at least five of the seven state senators the president targeted with primary challenges after they voted against his redistricting push — a decisive show of force that suggests his hold on the GOP base remains firm even as his approval rating has hit a new low. The race in one of those primaries has not yet been called by the Associated Press.
Indiana’s GOP primaries offer the clearest signal yet that President Donald Trump still commands the fear that built his hold on the party.

In KY, Thomas Massey, who lead the charge for the release of the Epstein files (
the regime is still in violation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act), lost his primary bid in the most expensive House primary race in history.
In LA, Sen. Bill Cassidy lost in his primary after voting to impeach trump, correctly IMO, in the second impeachment trial.
All the Repubs who were defeated are staunch ideological conservatives. Their crimes having been taking positions that displeased Don so trump endorsed their opponents.
Does this tell us something about R primary voters? Can we surmise that they are in favor of allowing the prez, any prez, to profit from stocks trades made based on government policies set by the President? Should we assume they don't mind being lied to by candidates on the campaign trail? Are they not bothered by trump's tariffs causing inflation? Do they support the notion of using the DoJ to punish perceived enemies of the prez without evidence? Or firing FBI agents for following orders by participating in investigations of trump?
I can't help wondering how they came to hold such ostensibly un-American attitudes? What gives them license to look the other way when the prez awards himself almost $2B to dispense to people who object to being held responsible for their crimes? I confess, I don't understand these voter's motivations.
