State Legislatures: A Democratic Surge and a Republican Fizzle

One of the most surprising results in what had initially been billed as a red wave election was how strong Democrats were in state legislative races.

By midday Wednesday, Democrats were expected to flip at least three chambers – both chambers in Michigan, plus the Minnesota Senate. In both states, the reelection of a Democratic governor on election night meant that Democrats would move into “trifecta” control, meaning they held the governorship as well as both legislative chambers.

Meanwhile, Democrats by midday Wednesday were close to flipping the New Hampshire House and the Pennsylvania House, although it was unclear whether they could pull off either shift. For good measure, the Democrats have so far defended all of their vulnerable state legislative chambers.

It was a historic night for Democrats. GOP'er new slogan, "well we won, what are Democrats celebrating"? MAGA strategy: When your goals aren't met, move the goalposts.

Weird. MAGA cultists practically guaranteed a Red Tsunami of epic proportions.
 
They just parroted their slim selection of reading material. By being a Trumpist; they demonstrate their susceptibility to being fooled by propaganda. They really, really believe these lies. They live without doubt. Even this election will not change most of them. At this time, Trump is very vulnerable. I wonder who has the guts to take him out?
 
So, for what reason did those here that voted Democrat do it? Was it:

You like high inflation?
You're into $5 a gallon gas and your house freezing in the winter because you can't afford to heat it?
You think letting anyone and everyone on the planet live in the US is a great idea?
You love getting audited by one of the new 87,000 IRS agents?
JAN 6! INSURRECTION! KILL EVERY NON-LEFTIST!?
You don't mind if kids are illiterate criminals as long as they know all about LGBTPDQRSTUV stuff and are into it?
You think standing in bread lines is so authentic?
You prefer your leaders to be senile retards?

What? Why did you vote Democrat?

Whitmer not only won the Governor's office, but Democrats also won both chambers of the Michigan legislature. Democrats did this by being reasonable.

Whitmer also said she would „hit the ground“ running and work on Michigan‘s economy. She will live up to her campaign promises. I like her.

You like high inflation? - prices are coming down now.

You're into $5 a gallon gas and your house freezing in the winter because you can't afford to heat it? - I paid 2.87 last week for reg and it's still coming down.

You think letting anyone and everyone on the planet live in the US is a great idea? - that's a paranoid, wing nut fantasy. Democrats respect legal immigrants. We don't want, "open borders".

You love getting audited by one of the new 87,000 IRS agents? - Well if you're not cheating you've nothing to worry about.

JAN 6! INSURRECTION! KILL EVERY NON-LEFTIST!? - No, the bloodlust is all on the MAGA side. You live in fear. Not a great way to go through life, son.

You don't mind if kids are illiterate criminals as long as they know all about LGBTPDQRSTUV stuff and are into it? - One of my kids was granted a full scholarship to a really good school. Your bigotry paranoia falls flat.

You think standing in bread lines is so authentic? - What the fuck are you talking about?

You prefer your leaders to be senile retards? - No. Only you support Hershel Walker.

What? Why did you vote Democrat? - Because America is tired of the hate, lies, and bigotry coming from you and your fellow trump worshippers.

I wonder if the red wave was totally neutered because Republicans thought COVID was a hoax and their voters died at a much higher rate than Democratic voters?
 
The reds screamed happily about tough abortion laws across the country. Polling showed it was down the list as a reason to vote. Exit polling showed it was often 1 or 2. Just think if the right did not go Gestapo with abortion. How big a win did they fuck up?

To get away from leaders who blame their defeat on a phony election fraud claim and then ignore their oath to uphold the Constitution by trying to block the electoral vote count (and all their followers who believe them).
 
We've thankfully lifted off the stigma of our republican governor in navy blue Massachusetts,
but our neighbors to the immediate north stuck with the asshole Sununu.
