The 2020 election was not stolen. Trump and the Pubs had every chance to prove their case in court cases, election audits and recounts and they failed every time. It's just that simple and the voters have shown more agree with me than with you. Your group is a very loud minority, and it's shrinking every day.
Bull****.

This is the woke socialist dogma the 1960s hippies have spewed among the Democrat Party ever since those 1960s hippies seized American political power. This is the result of 30 years of liberal classroom teaching, now straight Leftist indoctrination. This is 30 years of liberal-now-leftist TV and Hollywood movies.

Trump is speed bump. America has gone radically left ever since Bill Clinton was elected in 1992. That is around the time we ushered in entrenced Political Correctness.

You haven't been paying attention.

Trump was a symptom. Trump's election was in reaction to the large "normal" segment of the population pushing back against the rapid rise of woke crazy.

The 2020 election was clearly stolen. You have to be wilfully blind not to see it.

Trump had NO chance to prove his case in court. Every single case was thrown out, rather than allowed to be heard, right down to SCOTUS tossing Texas's case as "having no standing". Which was also bull****.

Worse still, the GOP establishment couldn't wait to see Trump gone and wanted Biden elected president. The GOP establishment opposed Trump's attempt to prove 2020 election fraud at every turn. Mitch McConnel was absolutely giddy when he greeted Biden as president, so they could get back to their corrupt business as usual. The GOP establishement flat hated Trump's guts and were thrilled to see him gone. Why would they lift a finger to help prove the 2020 steal and let Trump have another 4 years?

To a degree that is true. However there is a generational gap now. The greatest generation are all gone now. They had no need to navigate todays modern world lived without computers or tech their entire life essentially. Sure there were computers but not like now, they didn't rely on them.

Now you have young people that didn't even know how the greatest generation lived and know a world that is more liberal and tech orientated. They look forward not backwards.

That brings us to what is culturally becoming the missing link the boomers. They don't want to look forward and feel somehow there is a way back. They are dying off soon and young peo0le may grow up to become more conservative over time they will never want to go back to or even know the America the boomers miss.

It is spontaneous evolution in the human race.

we can come up with a bunch of theories on what would’ve or should’ve been done but take it from a former NJ resident: Democrats overwhelmingly approve of how their blue states are run. Democrats don’t mind paying a little more in taxes if it means more public safety regulations, more powerful schools, help for the downtrodden. Democrats overwhelmingly approve of Joe Biden and AOC and Schumer.

it wasn’t a red wave nor will it ever be. Republicans won in states where voters approved of their job.

Republicans lost because young people are stupid. Lol

The more I read this forum the more I gained some insights into the brain of the right. It is one of the only places that allow such far right opinions. While that is a good thing some of it is just plain nuts. It makes me realize that although I am not some left wing fringe type I am just as far away from the nuttiness of the conservative right at least socially.

The new logic seems to be, we lost because everybody else is so stupid. There is a glaring lack of awareness. Stop blaming young people for the problems you created.
I'm 44 so I'm not young but not a boomer either. I am disgusted by the amount of illegals crossing into our country on a daily basis. They are overcrowding everything and it will only get worse. I am sickened that it's becoming the Democrat way to help these people. I'd rather help my own kids and family first, then people in need here from veterans to widows to people here in need. Anyone crossing the border illegally shouldn't be here ! And here we are throwing money at them. Sick sick.

I also am tired of hearing about pronouns and gender identity. There's such a small portion of people who have gender identity changes but the whole world has been expected to put he/him after their signatures at work and I'm just tired of it. What has happened to this country ? Everyday is a sob story about how someone wants this or that and can't get it because they're not a white man. We get it. The Democrats hare white men somehow Biden is president.

As that poster said in what you quoted, your logic doesnt make sense. The Democratic Party could take a giant shift left, and still be to the right of FDR.

And the bigger problem with your logic, is that you want a government so small it virtually cant govern , which allows far more corruption and erosion of rights and privilege's.

Terrorism works.

Meanwhile, an election that was an obvious scam, and what do Republicans do? Send in maybe a few thousand guys, no guns one time, the studiously play by the rules with a deck that is clearly stacked against them. If Whites in the 1760s were like Whites today America as a nation would not even exist! If January 6th was as hard as Republicans can go, then Democrats are all still laughing saying, "You call -that- a riot?"

January 6th wasn't an atrocity because it was violent, it was an atrocity because it was a dissapointment.
You should be hired immediatly by the GOP and put in charge of the minority outreach . Please run on this message in 2024. Yes.

It’s possible that the midterms don’t have that much impact on the general election 2 years later.
Obama lost 60 house seats in the mid-term mostly due to the conditions following the 2009 meltdown, with the current conditions this should have been a big loss instead of a few house seats.

It’s not just that young people turned out more, but that they are demographically a lot more diverse than previous generations.

Republicans have got to find a way to appeal more to minorities. Otherwise, I agree this game is over. The America we once knew is no more.

We don't protest. Dems are mean, vicious, constantly lie and cheat. They are the biggest hypocrites, spin their narrative. They have tech, FBI, justice dept, msm, etc on their side. After the way this country is in horrible shape and they still win there is absolutely no way the repubs will ever win again..We are too nice and we just don't have that evil in us that the Dems have.

So repubs, buckle up and enjoy no more freedom and nothing but dictatorship. Why care or even think about Trump or Desantis because neither can win on 2024. The left have taken over and I agree that we're going to have to accept it. No more make America great again hopes. From here on out it's all about taking our freedoms away and destroying America and the worst has yet to come. Evil has prevailed.
America has become nothing but a name.
