+Republicans have 54-55 Seats in the Senate +Beto lost to Red Ted Redemption, killing one of biggest the blue wave figurehead ~McSally kept john McCain's seat red despite her just being McCain-Lite ~Republicans down Only hold 47% of the House at projected 206 seats vs. 53% dems at 228 - Republicans lost 7 Governorships, barely holding majority at 27. - Florida grants ex-convicts right to vote, guaranteeing its future as a sanctuary state for ex-cons nationwide to move in and influence directly as a voting block along with releasing a massive democratic voting block of people who are motivated and have been through the legal system
I'm not too well versed in the typical results from a president's first midterm, but while this looks a hell of a lot better than Obama's, its still looking like a zero game election with the long term looking dire. The loss in governorship means potential redistricting for better House demographic distribution in the Dems favor is on the table, possibly leading to them gaining a supermajority in the House in 2020 or 2022. And with Florida's decision to allow ex-convicts to vote, 2020 is no longer a lock given how crucial Florida is to the flip vote and now has millions of new voters that are more likely to vote to democrats who will make prison reform and ex-convict rights to most important wedge issues to completely lock the state. The next 2 years seem like the only window for Trump to unify the country or its over in 2020 or he'll be completely lame ducked by 2022 by proxy of potential House gains.
Outside of Marijuana federal legalization, what can Trump do to possibly lock the 2020 election with Florida out of the picture and Dems fighting to their dying breath and using every trick in the book to maintain power?
Bump. People taking this as a win or thinking they can wipe the sweat off their forward and take a victory lap are truly mistaken. The lost governors mean more than you know. As we saw with the kavanaugh hearing Dems are ready to ignore any argument, not even bother debating, pull out any trick or exploit in our system, and even void tenants of our law like "innocent until proven guilty" so Pelosi and Feinstein pushing their funded dem governors to line item veto anything red and redistrict the house to supermajority is literally guaranteed at this point.
It's 2 years of grit or USA is officially gonna start going the way of Western Europe in 2014.
>Dems are ready to ignore any argument, not even bother debating, pull out any trick or exploit
So they'll be more like republicans? Typically redtard, you don't mind those tactics until they're used against you, then you have a hissy fit.
I have some bad news for you, it's only going to get harder for Trump and Reps going forward, and that's not a bad thing
William King
its a good analysis. it's meh so far, let's see what Trump can do with the senate and for 2020.
Samuel Anderson
Gov rnots literally don't matter outside of the state they are in. Senate was the most important by a huge margin and we won big there. Now Trump can fire all the cucks like sessions/mattis and put real maga heroes into his cabinet, which in turn means all his campaign promises will be sped up
We're fucked, basically. Get ready for two straight years of investigations and impeachment proceedings. Even though they won't be able to unseat the emperor, our government will be in gridlock. This will tank the markets and likely lead to a 2020 defeat.
The saddest part is that even though the MSM is falling apart people still fell for the bullshit narrative. Half the country is dumb enough to think endless welfare and open borders are sustainable ad infinitum.
New York just elected a socialist cunt who supports all the gibs. The US is finished. We've gone beyond the tipping point. Too many people are on government aid of some sort and welfare losers will never vote themselves off it.
Dear Russia or China, please initiate the launch codes. We are literally too dumb to survive. How many times does history need to repeat itself? Marxism doesn't work, but I guess, fuck it, we're gonna give it a try here.
I think he means they are willing to do it to a degree that is so blatant and in the face of logic and optics given their vehement rage and struggle to regain power after losing to trump. What they did in the kavanaugh hearing was literally throwing out due process and take on tabloid trite as if it was serious in an attempt to stop what they didn't like. In all fairness Cocaine Mitch and what he did with the Garland situation was peak political exploitation of the rules, but the kavanaugh shit was taking that to a new level beyond to literally tossing out due process. Governors can affect the house districting I think if they play their hand too much like that they'll lose in 2020, but i also believe they'll learn from their mistakes and just work in the shadows while complaining about trump. Shifting their importance from DACA to Ex-cons nationwide because they see a new free wedge voting block that doesn't relay on waiting for anchor children or amnesty to kick in.
Adam Hill
Bump.
Weed would be the only way for classical liberals to be unchained from the NPCs and force people to question their logic with Dems and open it up for dialogue
Zachary Morgan
Propose to have "Trump-Care" (medicaid for all) replace Obama-Care. Then let dems explain why they are "blocking free health care for political points" to their supporters.
That would literally be shitting in the face of his base to pull that. Medicaid for all is literally designed to fail. You can't expect even government subsidized premiums to lower when you have to ignore preexisting conditions but doctors still have to accommodate the risk cost aggregated to that. And you ESPECIALLY can't have it work without the mandate to assure that there are enough passive payers, unless you funded it through excessive taxing like Nordic countries do, but then you completely shit in the face of the people who like the tax cuts.
The only answer that both satisfies his base and fixes the actual issues of the healthcare problem is to remove the interstate commence clause on Health insurance not being able to be bought across state lines allowing for the inverse plateaued market across the nation to start competing again. And given how high the market up on health charges and services are, that the government will bail out any hospital that doesn't pay its bills already, and it really wouldn't hurt their bottom line anywhere close to being function and lucrative, it would be a net benefit to the country.
Josiah Watson
One would've thought the Kavanaugh spectacle would've at least given normies a moment of pause to consider due process being shit upon by our "leaders." That moment of thought might have lead them to question just how rabid the leftist party has become.
Unfortunately, it did not. A majority of Americans are still asleep at the switch. They just want to go to work (the ones that still do that) and buy endless amounts useless consumer bullshit. The rest are comfortable living off other peoples taxes while they produce endless amounts of welfare babies. Meanwhile, the a former superpower known as the US spirals towards collectivism.
I really can't wait until our debt finally collapses the whole fuckin system. Then we can finally have the civil war 2.0 Most likely I'll die, but that's fine. I'd rather die free than live under totalitarianism.
Xavier Baker
>This will tank the markets No. Markets like gridlock. Gridlock means no retarded government intervention.
Julian Thompson
Really winners was the two party system. Dems have enough power to carry on the collusion narrative without having to actually act and reveal that it's much ado about nothing. And Republicans now have a ready made excuse about why they wont be passing any of the legislation trump promised, they were in full control for 2 years and passed the one thing they truly wanted which was tax cuts, rest they don't really care about. Each side will blame the other for why they can get anything done, each set of supporters will become more entrenched in their party loyalties and thus the ensured continued legitimization of this pointless system for years to come.
Angel Nelson
>tenants of our law I think you mean "tenets".
Brody Morris
You forgot: >Elections... have changed. It's no longer about country, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles fought by memecenaries and NPCs. Elections, and its consumption of life, has become a well-oiled machine. Elections have changed. ID-tagged voters carry ID-tagged licenses, and use ID-tagged voting machines. Meme-magic inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities. Genetic control, information control, emotion control... meme control. Everything is monitored and kept under control. Elections - have changed. The age of voter fraud has become the age of meme control. All in the name of averting catastrophe from Weapons of Meme Destruction. And he who controls the memes, controls elections. Elections have changed... When the memes are under total control, elections become routine.
The reason it didn't he specifically because after kavanaugh started waking people up the MSM literally flooded the news cycle with "MAGABOMBER, SYNAGOGUE SHOOTER, MIGRANT CARAVAN, SAUDIS KILL KHASHOGGI WHY WON'T TRUMP RESPOND, BOLSANARO IS A FACIST AND TAKEN BRAZIL" to completely skirt the issue of Kavanaugh completely because the dems knew it was a massively losing issue. After he was sworn in the protests and media coverage completely disappeared and then a sudden flood of sensational and high yield coverage completely buried the kavanaugh stuff. Normies got any notion of questioning the kavanaugh stuff swept under the rug before independent thought could kick in. This is why the economy will be good for Trump to run in 2020, but all that won't matter if Florida flips and the trade war with china keeps bleeding the rust belt and cornfield americans. Unless Muller somehow pushes this shit back to 2020, i don't think they can keep the collusion angle, but it doesn't matter. Pandora's box has been opened with with ex-con takeover of florida and dems have the wedge issue and free voters they need without placating to illegals out in the open. They can just discretely vote on it now. Thank you big boss. But the LA LI LU LE LO can still conspire to retake what ground we've won. Mother base isn't even safe.
Jackson Baker
Which is what scares me the most. Everyone is still plugged into the MSM Matrix. I thought the internet, controlled as they try to make it, would've woken more people up. Apparently not. And the reason for this is because the communists have control of the school systems. The NPC firmware is hardwired from K-12 and fully brought online at university. I'm buying more ammo and rations, user.
Christian Foster
so what does losing the house mean? are we fucked?
Jacob Hughes
For as much as the internet matters, the MSM are still in control of the general narrative, especially when they all go in on the same issues and narratives in bulk. No matter how much sargoy or Styx pull good numbers on youtube or Jow Forums has millions of posts per day, it doesn't change that even alt-media base their narrative on the skeleton of what the MSM's direction of coverage is as a reaction to it.
2 years of obstruction that doesn't amount to much, good for markets because a tied up government boosts less change and allows for more consistent ROI, and lets Nancy pelosi and other foot-in-mouth Dems hurt their optics up to the 2020. However this is all moot in the face of Florida's convict change for the presidential election. And even if that is taken by trump, he can be lam ducked by the shifting democrat governors getting districts made in their image so that the house goes further and further left until super-majority.
Jack Robinson
Whites in all white nations need to band together and we need to found our own nation.
I don't dislike other races. But other races DESPISE US. They are erroneous and racist because they blame every single existing white person for actions committed by a few wealthy white people hundreds of years ago. They do not care about actual justice - going after the descendants of slaveowners. Instead they are evil and hostile people who just want to eradicate white people, solely on the basis of their race rather than their actions, from the face of the Earth.
We have to found a new country. We cannot face this injustice forever. The political left cares about nothing apart from the destruction of white people.
Cameron Barnes
The Republicans ought to be embracing prison reform and restitution of convicts' civil rights anyhow. Yet another thing they could learn from libertarians but are still mired in the moral morass of neocons.
Lincoln Hughes
Govenors matter. If a Senator or House Rep dies or has to step down, most states have the Governor appoint a replacement. If the governor passes (many states give their Gov the option to pass on replacement appointment), then the seat will get filled in a special election. Having a matching party Governor in a state is very helpful to a president running for re-election in that state. Lots of things can go very smoothly, insuring a good campaign effort in that state. Try that with an active hostile govenor, and campaigning their becomes much more difficult and costly. There are other things. Having a local friend governor really helps in all sorts of administrating, which is what people think of as governoring. In other words, friendly governor = friendly government to the president in that state.
Adrian Brown
Markets love gridlock. So does the American public.
Eli Hernandez
Not much is going to change, except that Trump can now attack the House with impunity.
There was still gridlock in the House with Paul Ryan's Never Trumper dumbass. At least when Pelosi tries to undermine the president, Trump can unleash on er.
John McCain's fucking stunt with Obongocare.
A good chunk of the Never Trumpers got purged.
Brayden Phillips
Sorry i don't make deals with the eternal anglo and I don't talk in dreamworld babble. This is reality and you need to learn to make the change in the world you live in rather than daydreaming about some magic peaceful ethnostate. Unlikely given who lead the party and how much "convict rights" is a proxy pathway to loosening up law and order. don't forget redistricting. Had it not been for florida Trump could have rode this out to win 2020 on economy alone, but we are in this timeline so we have to fight for it now. I believe in some degree the wins in the senate and the kavanaugh effect united most of the party to remove the nevertrump sentiments for the most part, but the threat the dems and florida are bringing are greater than any internal bickering.
>"convict rights" is a proxy pathway to loosening up law and order. Neocon fear-mongering. Boring. Tell me about how wacky tobacky is the gateway drug to crack and krokodil.
Liam Brooks
i'm not justifying that it IS in fact loosening up law and order, i'm talking about the law and order rhetoric that is a stable of right wing ideas. Its not gonna be something the right is just going to turn on over night, especially not within the 2 year span before 2020 to be able to make a difference in Florida.
Also it puts them in a a very tilted in image of trying to be tough on criminals and illegals but yet wanting to give rights back to convicts once they get out.
Samuel Wilson
>+Republicans have 54-55 Seats in the Senate This is huge. That means it'll take a fairly large group of traitors together to go against the party. No worrying about just a couple of RINOs wrecking Trump's plans. Now the Senate is solidly Republican. That means anything Congress throws at them, like , will get dismissed immediately.
The supreme court is locked in. Already with a solid 5-4 majority of reliable conservative justices, that's likely to increase to 6-3 or 7-2 before the next election, and it's possible that one or two older conservative justices will retire and be replaced with young ones.
With the backing of these two bodies, Trump can still do just about anything he wants. Like he said before, he can end birthright citizenship with an executive order. He can spend defense funds building the wall. What are they going to do, impeach him? That hits the Senate like a brick wall.
You might think that the House has a lot of power, but the Dems need to dispense their gibs, or they're worth absolutely nothing to their supporters, and the Senate and Trump have veto power over all gibs bills. They'll drag their feet and piss and moan, but when all is said and done, they'll sign a budget with everything Trump demands rather than shut down all the welfare programs and send the civil service home without pay. They're the party of gibs and big government. If they shut it all down, they're the ones who will be destroyed.
They have to negotiate, from a position of disadvantage, against Trump. He will humiliate and discredit them.
>- Florida grants ex-convicts right to vote, guaranteeing its future as a sanctuary state for ex-cons nationwide to move in and influence directly as a voting block along with releasing a massive democratic voting block of people who are motivated and have been through the legal system This is just ignorant. There are plenty of states already where felons can vote.
Caleb Howard
Florida is the most important swing state of all. Now it just got 3 million new voters, most of which will want gibs. You think that isn't a problem? You think the possibility of more convicts moving to florida to pack the vote isn't a possibility?
Eli Bell
Bump
Nathan Ramirez
It's estimated at 1.5 million, not 3 million.
>You think that isn't a problem? It's not as big of one as you might think. Felons mostly aren't the kind of people who'd bother to vote anyway. With the laws on the books, with the Senate to appoint judges and SCOTUS solidly conservative, Trump can arrest a lot of vote scammers and deport a lot of illegal aliens before the next election.
>You think the possibility of more convicts moving to florida to pack the vote isn't a possibility? It isn't. People don't move to another state just to "pack the vote".
Bentley Murphy
>People don't move to another state just to "pack the vote". The Democrats literally admitted on camera to packing people up in buses to ship them to swing states to vote. If you dont think that people dodge fron state to state to fuck up voter numbers, you are an enormous fucking NPC.
Easton Thomas
He does have a point though. The volume of votes that you are proposing being bussed in is a huge amount. That's not particularly feasible at that kind of distance. Will this tip the vote a bit? Yes, absolutely. However, I don't think that it's inherently the catastrophe you seem to imply.
Colton Ramirez
