A couple of takeaways for me:
1. Trump: Trump lost big in this election cycle. People are simply fatigued with the drama. The GOP needs to thank him for re-aligning the electoral map, brining hispanics and blacks to the party, nominating originalist judges, raising the border as a legitimate issue, and give him the honor that deserves. But he needs to go graciously. The thing is, you and I know he can't do that. He's too big of a narcissist. Everything will always be about him
2. The election process has to be fixed. I'm fine with states doing things their own way. That's federalism, and specifically set forth in the Constitution. But how is a populous state like FL able to have accurate results the night of the election, and votes are still being "counted" in small population states like AZ and NV? Figuring out how many votes you "need" and then dragging out the process over days or more undermines everyone's faith in the integrity of the process. We need to go back to Tuesday voting. Our parents and grandparents did it. If you want to vote, get off your ass and go to your local precinct. If democracy is so sacred, and I think it is, then show me by investing 30 minutes of your time once every two years.
3. On what planet does a candidate like Fetterman win? PA should be mocked continuously for electing a person who was an idiot before his stroke, and is now a complete mess. We should be mocking his service as a Weekend at Bernie's fiasco for the next six years.
4. Independent voters: you had a choice in the midterms. law and order vs. no bail release, secure border vs. open border, accountability for gov't agencies vs. the present circus, GOP stupid spending vs. Dem stupid spending. You made your choices, but I don't understand your thought process. The recession affecting the labor market is coming over the next 6-9 months, and the WH solution will be another $3 trillion in spending so that worthless POS can sit at home and play video games because flipping burgers is beneath them.
5. White women: stupid, stupid, stupid. Dobbs did not outlaw abortion you ignoramuses. It simply returned the issue to each state.... you know, democracy. You talk to 100 people, about 80-90% of them aren't OK with unlimited abortion. They don't want it outlawed, but they don't want it unrestricted up to 5 minutes before birth. So each state will adopt restrictions that they deem appropriate. How is that the end of the world? If you want an abortion at the last second, get on a fucking plane and fly to NYC. A ticket costs $150. Good grief. So crime is up, education scores are down, and the future for your children is more bleak then ever, but at least, according to the lies you bought, you saved your access to birth control! STUPID. Don't tell me how bright you are. That's stupid.
OK. Back to my morning drinking....
