Both good and bad results for the GOP last night. Hope this does not foreshadow the big election next year.
Seems conservatives and moderates lack the motivation to vote.

Guess Virginia loves them some CRT and phags in the wrong bathroom.

Seems conservatives and moderates lack the motivation to vote. Historically, Democrats will almost always vote for whatever is "best for the party", while Republicans won't vote for a candidate unless they agree 100% with them. The 2008 and 2012 presidential elections proved that.

The left figured it out long ago. Indoctrinate the children in the public school system.

Unlike the left and to my detriment, I spent my time after college working my ass off and building my business. They spent their time taking over education and government. I sure wish I had paid more attention.

Cumberland County NJ, once a dem stronghold in a filthy dem state, went straight GOP yesterday, just like we did last year.
We even got rid of our elderly, 2A hating sheriff, who has held that office for many years.
Thanks, SloJoe!

Seems conservatives and moderates lack the motivation to vote. Exactly right. 14% voter turnout in WA. Perfect chance to defeat the leftists, but no one can be bothered to get out of the recliner and drop their ballot in the mail.

Guess Virginia loves them some CRT and phags in the wrong bathroom. The R's only ran on canceling out abortion and the D's reacted. DC area and Tidewater democrats won big. Same scenario that keeps NYS blue AF. Not enough conservative voters out in the real part of the state to cancel out and beat down the blue bastards in the crowded areas. The redistricting games that are played in VA are also a huge problem. Nothing but a flip flop shtshow any given election.

The left supports their candidate--- they understand that you cannot govern if you do not win. The right doesn't get that

From what I understand a lot of these elections also had abortion issues on the ballot, and that gets the dems out to vote. And you'll see more of it on the ballots from here on out.

I think the stolen election in 2020 finally proved to most conservatives that elections are a scam and no matter turn out we won’t win, so why bother.

I have my doubts the repubs, can pull off a win for the Whitehouse in 2024. The infighting and lack of a unified front are the canaries in that coal mine for me. They could not even agree on a new speaker. So, I am not hopeful we can pull off a win. I will vote for whom ever the nominee is, but that to me is also a mess. I am prepared for another 4 years of Democrap rule and the accelerated destruction of our country. It will be a sad story to watch, The death of our nation! I want to be ,hope to be wrong about it. But the repubs talk it but, do not walk it. i just cannot muster a good feeling about it.

There will be more, much more. Our complacency guarantees it.

Nobody in that debate is worth voting for. The one person I'll vote for wasn't there...................

I can honestly say I didn’t receive anything on the mail about what we were voting for. School board and a county trustee is what it turned out to be

Biden has a horrible approval rating. Inflation, interest rates, wars, etc.
I like Trumps odds versus Biden. But, killing babies seems to motivate Dems. That’s the wildcard.
