2026: what do republicans think
In deep-red Texas, conservatives are trying to make sense of what just happened to their longtime Republican stronghold. We visited a men’s bible study as they gathered for the first time since the state flipped in the midterm election.

Trump is never responsible. It's always the advisors. In 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2025, and 2026. Trump didn't know about all the bad things that were happening. The advisors hoodwinked him. And he's also the smartest most savvy president in history. Sure bsky.app/profile/atru...
CALLEY MEANS: I think he had severe poor advice from people who treated him like a baby

BRENNAN: The president's staff treats him like a baby?

MEANS: Of course!

And Black people understood the existential threat Trump was to this nation AND to the world. We worked our asses off to stop him in 2016, 2018, 2020, 2022, 2024 & 2026. In 2018, 2020 and 2026 we were successful. And how do you repay us? Attacking the first potential Black Speaker of the House!

2016: MAGA wins, no voter fraud

2018: MAGA loses, voter fraud!

2020; MAGA loses, voter fraud!

2022: MAGA wins, no voter fraud

2024: MAGA wins, no voter fraud

2026: MAGA loses, voter fraud!

Anybody see a pattern?

Black voters saved America.

…Again.

Striking chart from my piece on the election results with @fteoldi.bsky.social. In Deep South states, turnout was much higher in black neighbourhoods relative to 2024. Outside the south, the effect disappears: www.economist.com/interactive/...

I think the lesson from 2018 and 2020 was that they could fuck around, but it would be close and frontliners would take the fall but that they (most of both conferences) were safe. I imagine that feeling no longer persists

NYT is so predictable. Same stories after the 2016, 2018, 2020, 2024, and 2026 elections. “Let’s interview the racist white people!”

The population was 239 in 2018 and as of the 2020 census, Boones Mill had a population of 259. 😱

i’m seeing plenty of leftists urge against complacency (like what happened in 2018 & 2020) but i’m not seeing even a hint of complacent/we’re saved everyone go back to brunch content. liberals and leftists are all in alignment to keep going. it’s nuts.

BIG one. This is the seat held by Nancy Mace, who finished fifth in the GOP primary for governor earlier this year.

Dems flipped a predecessor version in 2018 but lost it in 2020. Then Republicans made it redder. They still couldn't hold it this year.

2018, 2020, 2022, 2023, and now 2026 have been considered massive Democratic successes.

Ok this is actually real. NBC's exit polling showing Latino/Latina voters trending back to the pre-2024 average.

To be honest, I didn't feel this good in 2018. Because:

A: We didn't win the Senate. We *lost* seats in the Seante. And on election night 2018 I was like "But Ruth Bader Ginsburg could still fucking die."
B: I was hyper aware that Trump *wasn't* on the ballot and 2020 would be the real test.

начала смотреть "крестовый поход Хроно"
жалею что забросила в в свои 12-13 лет на первой же серии (хз кстати почему)

все ещё отдаю предпочтение анимешкам до 2018-2020 года

Frankly, even with 2018, 2020... I never felt like this since 2008

Oh my god, he just said Democrats overreached in 2018-2020.

OVEREACHED HOW. TELL US HOW EXACTLY. WHAT DID THEY DO THAT WAS OVERREACH?
Ezra has had basically the same thesis for the past eleven years: "Do what people think is popular and you'll win elections" and now "What the Democrats need to do is listen to the concerns of the electorate."

Here's the thing: We all lived through the Biden years.
Ezra Klein needs to eat a bag of dicks.
