Trends are interesting. As are narratives.<\/p>\n
There’s things we know. And there’s things we don’t know.<\/p>\n
We know the Iran War was deeply unpopular. As was the cost of living. Both of those were 3 out of 4 issues against Trump out of people who went to the polls to vote.<\/p>\n
And yet people all over the United States came out to vote to pass Republican Conservative ballot initiatives in 2026. In State after State, including Liberal States, the people voted to make it law that men couldnt beat women in women’s sports. Other similar legislation where the issue is 8 out of 10 against the Democrat position, the vote against the Democrat issue passed.<\/p>\n
We also know that those who voted Republican stayed on trend compared to other midterms. So Republican issues won all over America, and voting trends for Republicans stayed normal.<\/p>\n
What wasn’t on trend was twenty million more ballots for Democrocrats than is normal based on voting trends. In a wave that caused a generational loss of Republican seats. In a year when Republican issues won across America. And the real interesting thing is that in 2020, the Democrats had a wave of 20 million votes above national trend lines to kick Trump out of office.<\/p>\n
