Don’t know when we are going to learn our lesson on this topic, but I do hope it’s soon

Respectfully, Dinesh, the fact that Republicans can no longer rely on a majority of White voters is an indictment of decades of poor Republican governance, not some immutable demographic reality.
We spent decades alienating the very Americans who built and sustained this party through outsourcing, mass immigration, stagnant wages, and the destruction of their economic prospects. Now we’re told the solution is to abandon them further and assemble a patchwork of competing ethnic constituencies?
What would Bob and his son say about this?
I can welcome Americans of any background if they truly share our interests and values. But a party that must continually bargain with foreign ethnic interest groups at the expense of its own principles isn’t building a coalition. It’s conducting a hostage negotiation.
Why is winning back the White working and middle classes treated as an impossibility rather than the obvious first order of business? Why is catering to the only people who actually vote Republican have to carry a massive asterisk that YOUR co-ethnics must approve it first?
We don’t have a demographic problem we cannot solve. We have a governance problem we refuse to fix.

Instead of 250 million for bs ads aimed at boomers (that don't work), there should be a well funded project to find, train and fund 50 Brandon Gills and run them in any winnable district in 2028. No GOP consultants are permitted involvement of any kind. Find excellent storytellers and talented filmmakers who need work to help run the campaigns
I’d like to take this moment to reminisce. When I was a young lad the boomer GOP brigade was cringy, retarded, and always made fun of by all my peers. Tough talk 24/7 backed up by nothing. Inept fairy boys finger wagging everyone to death
Nothing has changed since then
Republicans had a tough night last night. We lost great Senators in hard races. In Alaska and Mississippi, we continue to fight.
There are clear lessons to be learned from the results. First, we should listen to what voters unmistakably said last night. Their priorities must always come first. Our job is to forcefully act on them. Senate Republicans have an opportunity and obligation to show our voters that we are fighting for them.
In the Senate, we will aggressively oppose terrible ideas that drive our country toward the socialism Democrats embraced. Our commitment is to common sense. And our focus should not waiver from the top priority of driving down prices that have remained stubbornly too high.
I’m here for the fight. I know my colleagues are too.
Best perspective I’ve seen by far on the whole situation. Why am I not following this guy? Fixing that mistake
Consult any public indicator or medium for why we, Our Democracy, would shift immediately from milquetoast nationalism to drag queen maoism and pout "i told you i was gonna"
Gas SKYROCKETED to something like $4.50 instead of $4.10. We're in an EXISTENTIAL war which has killed a grand total of 23 Americans. The corrupt elites are covering up for their friends who EAT CHILDREN. I CANT BUY EGGS!!!!!!
Not a single one of these things have any bearing on the success and wellbeing of the citizenry but they are going to be litigated to death by Super Serious pundits for the next 2 years until the next disastrous bipolar changeover happens, and we just keep doing this until something finally snaps.
The entire political economy now is entertainment-via-hysteria and has been this way since covid completely and irrevocably raped an entire generation with this novel drug. It is completely insufferable; and yet the strongest empire in human history now runs on it
Remember this when you get thrown in prison for defending yourself against some brown invader

Surprisingly I'm relaxed about this situation. I've been completely proven wrong so far if everything continues going along the current trajectory. I expected to win and we're being completely wiped out and overrun in places which should be safe deep red territory.
Where are we at? What is the state of play?
Well, ultimately I blame the Trump admin for passivity and for many of the purposeful strategic decisions they made leading up to this point. Now is the time to be brutally honest. I warned our friends both privately and publicly that not enough was being done in order to win. I spent the past 18 months getting millions (and tens of millions) of views explaining why not enough was being done to take care of young white men. I was repeatedly explicit about how there were no jobs available for young men, DEI racial discrimination covertly remained in place, Boomers were suffocating young men, we needed to aggressively ramp up mass deportations, and Trump's public numbers about $18 trillion in investment were fake.
I expected the Boomer vote to carry the day. Ultimately Boomers failed and young white men stayed home and the legal migrants of the Biden admin swamped us.
But ultimately this is President Trump's fault. President Trump is a Boomer and a businessman.
Trump made an intentional choice to side with existing asset owners at the expense of young men. The calculation was that Boomers would vote for Trump to win the midterms and there was no reason to campaign for the young white man vote because they could win without the help of young white men.
Republicans gave zero reason for young men to vote for them. Bo French was the only politician who made any attempt whatsoever to advocate for our interests. Bo French was ahead of the curve. I will remain totally and ferociously loyal to Bo French and we're going to continue to build a political coalition around him.

Why Trump never shit on this waste of space is beyond me
I will be checking the ratio here in the morning. Amazing
Over the last two years, Senate Republicans have put up a strong record of accomplishment that’s created safer streets, more money in Americans’ pockets, and new opportunities for families and businesses to get ahead. After fighting Democrat obstruction at every turn, we prevented the largest tax hike in American history, secured our border in an unprecedented way, confirmed the president’s Cabinet at the fastest pace in two decades, and put strong conservative judges on benches across the country faster than we have since the Reagan administration. I’m proud of our team and everything we’ve done for the American people, and I’m looking forward to the important work we have in front of us over the next few months. As we head into 2027, Senate Republicans will not stand idly by as the far-left, socialist wing of the Democrat Party attempts to unwind everything we’ve done. Thankfully, we still have President Trump in the White House, and we’ll work with him to stop the worst impulses of Democrat extremism. We cannot let their fringe positions become the mainstream.

Hopefully they start doing backflips off of some bridges soon, Thune and Johnson were beyond useless and more content to rule their temporary fiefdoms than actually do anything of substance. In most instances, just spiteful behavior towards the base that bit them in the ass.
Some of what I’m hearing from Congressional GOP sources right now:
“This is f**ked.” - Senate GOP source
“Bloodbath across the board”. - House GOP source
"Nothing is going our way. We stabilized in Florida but the margins were SO close. That's the only good news". - Second Senate GOP source.
Pessimism within the GOP building tonight as results come in.

Mark Cuban says a bunch of Gen Z Texans don't even know who's running for Senate. Fellas, that's the opening. The ones who show up decide it. Text the group chat today: early voting ends tomorrow. Then go.
Talked to GenZ professionals. College graduates, professional GenZ friends. Based in Texas. Said a bunch of their friends have no idea who either Talarico or Paxton are. Don’t know the names
The social media algorithms influence how we think more than anything else.
Everyone has their own unique feed on the platforms they use. Like fingerprints , no two fees are alike on the major platforms.
Agree or disagree.
Women command humanity this way, but the price they pay for this absurd power is the loss of their own individual voice. They all must lay it at the feet of the hive
This thing where liberals have uncontrollable audible outbursts whenever they hear something they disagree with really needs to be studied. What in the world is going on there?
I’m being totally serious. I’m not trying to make fun of anybody here or just saying something snarky. It’s very strange the way they audibly gasp whenever they hear something with which they disagree. I’ve never once heard a conservative do this.
Go watch an Ann Colter video from 20 years ago where she speaks to a liberal college audience. They literally cannot sit still and listen to somebody say something with which they disagree. Nervous laughter, audible moans and groans, literal gasps.
And every other speaker who goes up to the mic feels compelled to ask her, “do you really believe what you’re saying? I mean, is this a bit or do you really believe it?”
Again, I’m not trying to be funny or snarky here. It’s very weird how just one political faction does this.
