I am just amazed that even though we had a “King” in charge, we still had an election, and the people opposing the “King” won.
Remarkable.

🚨 THIS: President Trump just shared Joel Pollak's take on last night, and it is the only one worth reading.
"Securing the border is ugly. Fighting Iran is costly. Taking on special interests upsets donors. Backing AI scares people."
"Tonight, Republicans paid the costs. The benefits will be with us for many generations."
Weak Republicans campaign on what is easy. Trump governs on what is NECESSARY.
One bad night does not undo a secure border.

How to Woke Right:
Step 1: Spend months attacking virtually every decision President Trump makes, from the war in Iran to his economic policies, telling Americans how badly they're being betrayed and how unaffordable everything has become, without bothering to analyze the data and without making any effort to explain what the administration is actually trying to accomplish or why those decisions were made in the first place.
Step 2: When Republicans lose elections, blame Trump for supposedly ignoring what Americans want, as if your own constant outrage and attacks had absolutely nothing to do with shaping how those voters feel. Forget examining whether the policies were justified, whether they were properly explained, or what alternatives would actually benefit the country.
Step 3: Lecture everyone else about the importance of keeping the Republican Party united. Tell us that criticizing Tucker Carlson is dangerous because he's part of the conservative movement and we cannot afford to divide the right.
Tell us that criticizing Tucker for spreading insane conspiracy theories and promoting everything anti-America is supposedly a threat to conservative unity, while telling Republican voters that their own president has betrayed them for no apparent reason.
Now, I want to be clear about something, because I think this is where the argument often gets lost.
Nobody is obligated to blindly defend Trump or agree with every decision he makes. There are legitimate arguments to be had about the Iran war, its costs, and the administration's economic policies. But if you genuinely care about conservative principles and want Americans to understand what Republicans are trying to accomplish, why wouldn't you at least explain the reasoning behind those decisions?
Do you seriously believe Trump went into office intending to make life more expensive for Americans? Do you think he decided to confront Iran for absolutely no reason? Even if you believe the war was a terrible mistake, is it really that difficult to explain why preventing the Iranian regime from acquiring nuclear weapons would be an important American national security objective, and then make your argument about why his approach was wrong?
Many of these people enthusiastically supported Trump and helped convince Americans to vote for him. Now they spend their time telling those same voters that everything he does is a betrayal, while offering absolutely nothing in the way of serious policy alternatives.
If you believe a policy is wrong, explain why, including what it was intended to accomplish and why your alternative would serve Americans better. But don't spend months encouraging voters to see every difficult decision as proof that their president has abandoned them, and then act surprised when those voters become disillusioned.
Oh and I forgot
step 4) Blame "neocons" or Jews for the loss instead of actually doing a moment of introspection or asking if your "republican" friends telling everyone not to vote may have had something to do with it.

Texas just gave a Senate seat to a sexually ambiguous anti-meat communist who needs 14 days of solitude to recover from a sniffle

OK let’s imagine that! $500M would fund Medicare for exactly 4 hours. Hospital closed by lunch.
Medicare costs us $1.2T a year. Thats $2.7B per day. You people literally have no clue how anything works. You elect people who are financially illiterate, and everything gets worse.

Imagine being so angry at Trump that you vote Democrat and try to convince yourself you're still defending conservative values.
That's not a protest vote, it's cutting your nose off to spite your face!

WATCH: Rep. Dan Crenshaw DESTROYS Rep. Jamie Raskin for BLOCKING three affordability bipartisan bills ahead of the midterms in a HEATED debate
When Democrats run out of answers, they yell Trump corruption! If those same bills pass now that the votes are counted, who's going to ask Democrats why they blocked them before?
"You guys cynically blocked legislation, bipartisan legislation that would reduce— that would help the affordability issue and that would tackle the corruption issue, that would help national security, things that you guys agreed on. You passed your own stuff. I don't know what bill you're talking about. Stop Insider Trading Act, Ratepayer Protection Act, FISA. You guys blocked all of that because the midterms were coming. And I bet you're going to be in favor of it after the midterms. Do not lie and say anything different."

For all the economic voters who punished Republicans, just remember:
(1) Poverty and child poverty are at an all time low.
(2) GDP per capita is at an all time high.
(3) The murder rate is lowest recorded.
(4) Real median income is up to an all-time high of $88,000.
(5) U.S. crude output is at an all time high. Natural gas production also at an all time high.
The Dems promised free everything. We'll see which track pulls more Americans up.
But you already know.

PBD says he sent the president an idea: anyone under 30 pays zero federal income tax on the first $200,000 they make, so young people can save, buy a house, and start a family.
“I proposed something the other day and I sent it to the president, just to see if they would entertain this idea or not. My idea was anybody under the age of 30, for the first $200,000 you make, you pay zero federal income taxes.”
“Keep all that money, set it aside, save it, buy a house, have kids. After 30, you go into the same tax bracket as everybody else, but it gives you a jump start.”
