A year after promising viewers a “red tsunami” in the 2022 midterms, only to be left with egg on their faces after the GOP drastically underperformed, Fox News was once again wondering what went wrong after Democrats romped to victory in statewide elections on Tuesday night.
Despite recent polls showing President Joe Biden deeply underwater with voters and even losing to Donald Trump in several battleground states, the Democratic incumbent governor easily won victory over his MAGA-endorsed opponent in deep-red Kentucky. And over in Ohio, a state Trump won by eight points in 2020, voters overwhelmingly passed an amendment ensuring access to abortion care in the state’s constitution.
The continued drag that undoing Roe v. Wade has had on the GOP was especially apparent in Virginia, where Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin had promised to implement a 15-week abortion ban if the GOP was able to gain unified control over the state’s General Assembly. Instead, not only were Youngkin’s hopes of a Republican sweep dashed, but the Democrats now control both chambers.
You rightoid fuckers HAVE NO POLICIES outside of schadenfreude and bogeyman flavor of the month fearmongering. Conservatives are incapable of governance, and a lot more people are finally catching on.
And undermining military effectiveness by blocking movement through the ranks or allowing departing leadership positions to be replaced, probably because Putin and Xi have demanded it lest lest the flow of rubles into hidden Congressional tax haven accounts stop, or Tuberville’s sexual frolics be made public.
And doing everything in their power to ensure NO governing gets done by anyone at all, unless my hero Fetterman wears a short sleeve shirt and OMFG within a single week now the Senate has an official dress code after 200+ years of getting by without one.
And sailing headlong into another complete government shutdown as soon as the current CR ends this month, so that we effectively have no government at all . . .
It’s not JUST that they are incapable, although they are that.
It is also that competent government is the last thing they want: they are there to destroy. Again, probably because Putin and Xi have demanded it lest the flow of rubles into hidden Congressional tax haven accounts stop, or some truly weird ass and vile sexual frolics (some with kids, because projection) be made public.
Oh and tax cuts for billionaires.
While not improving any efficiencies and therefore skyrocketing debt
That’s not true: they have hatred of minorities and women.
