There are a few things that seem to be emerging as a new, bipartisan consensus among the people.
1. The political class is too old.
2. Tech overlords have too much power.
3. The Epstein class is real
To these, I would like to add:
4. The presidency has become too powerful.
Apparently MAGAvolk cannot understand why Trump lost. It's actually pretty simple: when you say you will do one thing and then do something different, voters will punish you.

What Obama said in 2012:
“Any kind of additional military activity inside the Gulf is disruptive and has a big effect on us. It could have a big effect on oil prices. We’ve still got troops in Afghanistan, which borders Iran. And so our preferred solution here is diplomatic.”

I understand that Trump himself has certain cognitive issues, but even he ought to have understood this.
The voters do, and they punish politicians who break promises, especially ones that are salient and undeniable.

A fair-er Congressional map with districts that could plausibly swing either way depending on the cycle and voters' mood would've performed better for NC Republicans this year.
But instead, they got greedy. So they got got.
Laughing, shouting and posing for a photo shoot like the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is just some roadside tourist attraction is absolutely disgraceful.
But especially for a Secretary of Defense on Veterans Day, unprecedented disrespect.
A Tomb Guard from the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Regiment, “The Old Guard” was forced to verbally reprimand Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and a group of his senior advisers Wednesday after some in the group laughed and loudly talked in front of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington.
Video of the incident, posted by CNN, shows Hegseth standing and taking photos in front of the tomb with his wife, Jennifer, chief of staff Ricky Buria, deputy chief of staff Patrick Weaver as well as senior adviser and deputy assistant Tami Radabaugh, following a ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery for Veterans Day.
"Dragging America into forever wars"
This aged like milk. Miller loved to tweet about "forever wars" during the election, hasn't mentioned it at all since Trump attacked Iran. Somehow got promoted anyway.
Actually, if you were a foreign adversary of the US you’d support:
—Open borders and mass migration
—Teaching self-hatred to America’s children
—Destruction of faith and family
—Dragging America into forever wars
—Demonizing law-abiding citizens while empowering criminals and cartels
—Suffocating national development with unceasing and impenetrable regulation
—Financing marxist NGOs with unlimited taxpayer dollars
—Appointing radical judges to thwart the democratic will
—Deindustrialization of US manufacturing base
—Ending merit hiring across the public and private sector
—Erasing truth and waging war on nature and biology
—Promoting art, architecture and literature designed to denigrate and demoralize the country
—Forcing the shutdown of domestic energy infrastructure and production
—Debasing the currency through fraud, waste and government corruption
—Funding a permanent unelected bureaucracy that believes itself unanswerable to the people
He didn't even add anything about the need to be peaceful. You'd think there might be some understanding of what Trump has done to get the Republican Party where it is today, but of course not.
🚨What happened last Tuesday was shocking and historic. It calls for a historic response. Christians need to gather and seek the Lord. I’m going to host a time of fasting and prayer for the nation on Tuesday, December 15 from 12 to 1 at the Capitol. Meet me there!

Mitch McConnell, wheelchair-bound, aphasic, unable to respond to questions, seems like the absolutely most representative summation of the state of today's Republican Party.
They have nothing to offer but their diapers.

I hope some of them—especially the J6ers—realize they missed out on suing the pants off him for defrauding them. He knew he lost. And he knew the Capitol was closed. But he sent them there anyway to throw a massive temper tantrum for him because he was embarrassed he lost.
For anyone who believes his bullshit, ask yourself, has he ever prosecuted ANYONE from the 2020 election???
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
With the same voting machines that he is complaining about today, as he attempts to build the same narrative.
Any why not?
Ask yourself honestly.
Why hasn’t Trump, the President of the United States, with control of the DOJ, prosecuted anyone from the 2020 election?
That ought to make some of you very angry especially those of you who lost personal money, personal life relationships, and even went to prison for Trump as you fought against the 2020 election.
The real truth for the 2026 midterms is that something like 14 million Trump/Republican voters stayed home because, for multiple issues, they couldn’t support Trump and Republicans anymore.
The polls weren’t really wrong, the polls his team showed him knew they were going to lose but lied to him that it would be this bad.
Because his entire political team makes money off of rallies, fundraising, and everything to do with Trump involved in elections.
And if they had told him it was going this bad, for one he might have changed course, but two probably would not have gone out and done rallies everyday like they had him doing.
But really don’t feel too sorry for him. His ego and pride are hurt and he knows the big Democrat victory is 100% on him. So this is another attempt to deflect any wrong going off of himself.
Over the past 50 years, the incumbent president’s party has lost control of at least one chamber of Congress in seven midterm elections, including 2026. '94, '06, '10, '14, '18, '22 & '26.

MAGA is busy fabricating fraud claims today to explain something that actually happens routinely in every midterm election.
Probably one of the reasons why they don't actually include any other elections in their "analyses."
