It swings one way then the other. Dems get into office and F everything up, then the Rep get into office and they F everything up.
The real losers, are the voters.

Actually, the GOP is trying to undo the bullcrap the Dems did. Sadly, people get impatient and the slightest bit of uncertainty they feel, they take it out on the party in power, even when said party hasn't had enough time to correct things.

That's because most people nowadays are stupid retards with no self preservation or survival instincts.
They w***e themselves out on social media, and when nobody pays attention to them anymore, they off themselves.

The AP also has Amendment 3 projected to pass with ~62% of the vote, as Constitutional amendments require a supermajority. Orange County was not counted per the AP, that might be the only cause for concern. Leon County (Tallahassee) and Gadsen County (just west of Leon County), and Alchua County (Gainesville) are the only counties in which Amendment 3 failed to gain a majority of votes cast.

Sadly, they don't think at all and believe what the media tells them to believe. They don't understand gains in infrastructure and defense, or space. You can't impress them with the things we can't share because they are advantages. Because of that the negative is all they get to hear and most haven't the capacity to look around and see and understand what is happening.

Well even though inflation is down, the most visible pieces, gas and food, are up. Republicans are getting hurt by that. Sure didn't see many ads on the good things the Republicans have done in DC the last 2 years. Collins in conceding (he didn't directly concede to Ossoff) gave the best speech he's given. He talked about all the things they have done to reduce illegal immigration, increase opportunities for entry level and blue collar workers. None of his ads said anything positive. And he came across better than he ever did in his ads.

RCP has the House so far 94-69 D with only one seat (NC 11) changing hands. That was a Dem pickup.
It has the Senate 43-35 D with only one seat (NC) changing hands. That was also a Dem pickup.

Stop making excuses for Trump and the GOP.
It was stupid idea to wage a war on Iran without having any real plan to win it. I like Trump's tariffs in his first term, but the ones in his second term were just retarded.
TBH, I wish Trump would take the advice of Steve Bannon more than people like Jared Kushner Steven Miller.

No one has to make excuses for anyone.
If Americans are stupid enough to elect these lunatics then they will reap what they sow.
Never in my life has the left been as crazy as they are now.

I believe what hurt Trump the most was listening to the likes of the Kushners too much, both during his first and second terms. Let's see how the GOP plans to approach 2028. Rubio and DeSantis seem like the most suitable candidates right now from my point of view.

No one votes for Dems because they want trans-women in women's sports or more social justice education. They are concerned about the affordability of food, health care, etc.
If the Democrats decide to be the social justice party and not address these issues, their reign will be short-lived.

I still don't understand Trump's timing of the Iran war. Was a nuclear missile launch imminent?
Was nuclear capability the real reason?
Why not wait until after the election? He dug a hole for Republicans.
