Questions for the GOP ...

Exactly what part of the average American not wanting to be governed by conspiracy-spewing, science-denying, fake-Christian, right-wing whack-jobs did you not understand?

What part of voters being tired of whinging Republicans who do nothing but complain about crime, inflation, and high gas prices - while offering no solutions to these problems - did you miss?

What part of taking away a woman's right to control her own body - knowing that the majority of the country is for access to abortion - did you think was going to win votes?

What part of demonizing Biden and the Democrats' policies - the ones that are actually helping average Americans - did you believe would get your dumb-as-a-bag-of-rocks candidates elected?

What part of defending the man who tried to overthrow our democracy on January 6th did you not see as a losing strategy?

This isn't rocket science, folks - it's simply a matter of common sense.

The American people have spoken - and they've resoundingly said NO! to MAGAts, democracy-killers, and GOP candidates who have absolutely nothing to offer beyond their personal acquaintance with Trump's asshole.

The fact that you didn't foresee your own demise in the midterms speaks volumes about how out-of-touch you truly are.

What's especially delicious is hearing GOP candidates now complaining about how their party didn't spend enough money on their campaigns - as though more bucks spent polishing their turds would have made a difference.

Is there anything more pathetic, more desperate, more unhinged than a party that couldn't read the room until the voters smacked them down?

air waves with Enough polls showing the red wave was coming would do the trick.. Wrong.

It did nothing but highlight the red Mirage... although the US Predictable media bought it.. so they were all shocked. lol

Thanks Nance.. 💕🤞🤷‍♂️🤞For Cortez Masto, Katie Hobbs, and Sen Warnock... and Holding the House!

... how many Republicans didn't bother to vote - because their party kept telling them that the Red Wave was imminent whether they voted or not.

Sabotaged themselves and then they had DT in mix.. the Big Elephant in the room pumping up his crazy ass candidates so they won the primaries.

We had Democracy on the ballot and women's reproductive rights & Reality.. and Not taking away our Social Security.

We had 3 dem reps plus Steve neonazi king in the house just 4 years ago.

That message swept all 4 reps and huge wins for Chuck 'i'll be certifying the election because Mike pence won't be available, wink, wink' grassley and covid Kimmy the governor who thinks she's Noem from Dakota.

Maybe the rest of the country just isn't white and dumb enough, yet. But 20 years of cutting education money is helping the GQP message work in Iowa.

when we lose, some of us think it is because the party was too timid, did not take on big issues, was not progressive enough while other think it was because the looney left said shit like "defund the police" and we need to move to the center.

It is the same debate on the right. No one really knows.

We gotta keep listening to each other (on our side) and we will muddle on through this together.

How much did TFG siphon off through his constant pleas for legal defense money from the MAGAts?

Their egocentricity is truly astounding!

Imagine for a moment a weather reporter blaming some event on something totally unrelated.

They are beyond out of touch.

No, qpukes, voters know precisely what your party's stance is on major issues & flatly rejected your agenda.

As usual, you ve summed up the up the intuitively obvious into a bite-sized package that even a full fledged MAGAT could understand!

I always look forward to reading your analysis and comments.

Thank you and please keep 'em coming!
