That's not how they're framing it. Looks like they feel Virginia was a victory? Or so the Propagandaministerium would have us believe

Someone necroposted this man's house of delegates victory from 6 years ago, so I looked into it.
The dude has been focused very heavily on actually solving pain points associated with his district and working across the aisle to do it, while the GOP challengers have been running hot air campaigns about fringe issues.


Yes, the fringe issues matter, but not as much as whether the roads are a nightmare causing hours of traffic to eat 5 hours from your day.

edit:
Just checked Moms4Liberty feed and am seeing win posts all over the place.
School boards have always been traditionally democratic-dominated even in red states.
Winning school board positions at all from the right is pretty nuts.

It isn't a great victory, really, the Court just punted by ruling that the 14th amendment doesn't apply to a party primary election since "a party could put an ineligible candidate forward if they want, lol" and dismissing without prejudice. Which means this circus will fire back up again after he gets the Republican nomination.
 
The GOP worships Reagan without actually understanding the man and his positions. It's more of a cargo cult than a legacy.
I think originally the praise was genuine from Republican politicians but as time goes on it just seems to of slowly transformed into a stance they are expected to have but aren't entirely sure why. There is also the fact the memories of his foreign policy and economic policy victories are fading as the USSR is gone and the era of prosperity he oversaw has long since passed. Now the things everyone remembers are the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986, Reaganomics, and his support of gun control legislation after his presidency.
 
TLDR : The ATF sent some unredacted forms to the Gun Owners of America detailing how they were illegally using the FBI'S NICS system to build and maintain a registry of gun owners. The ATF faggots demand to have their unredacted docs back, GOA tells them to go fuck themselves, and now the fed boys are crying to a judge demanding GOA destroys any evidence of their crimes against the American people.
 
Like with Trump?
I've seen more valid criticism of Trump from his own voters than his opponents.

Were you paying attention to MAGA twitter when he announced a tomahawk missile attack on Syria?
Ask Trump's voters what they think about "operation warp speed" and its results.
 
Cannot believe my state just enshrined infanticide into its constitution. Every time I see women turn out in droves for abortion it makes me that much more misogynistic despite the fact that I am also a woman.

Not to mention that Issue 1 is worded extremely vaguely, talking about how "anyone can make any reproductive decisions that they want with their body" which means it's almost certainly going to be used as a way to get troon shit through the backdoor. Can't wait to see puberty blockers and cross sex hormones for kids and child genital mutilation become legally permissible here because of this goddamn amendment.
It is a very strong contention of mine that making abortion a "right" will destroy medicine in this country as we know it.

Imagine how an abortion becomes a "right", and doctors become increasingly uncomfortable with it (I can't imagine being an abortion doctor and not having it affect you the same way that, say, repeated exposure to the death penalty does), and start refusing people who just need to learn the lesson that they need to be more responsible with their sexual choices.

Then they hear that they need to perform the abortion because it's a "right". Would you want to have to face that, or a malpractice lawsuit from someone looking for trouble (ya know, like the whole "bake the gay cake" business)?

Well...when one medical procedure becomes a right, how long before other ones become "rights", and why would you want to be a doctor in that kind of environment, when someone can demand a procedure even though a doctor recommends not to undergo it?

All for the right to have sex...something never afforded men, I'll add.

The actual politicians who claim to be MAGA are the ones who are cargo culting him. Or the coattail riders like DeSantis.

There are a lot of fucking grifters trying to skinsuit Trump's agenda.
Even the freedom caucus members are guilty as they try to ape Trump's lines on social media.
 
LET'S GO BRAAAAAANDON.

Brandon's shitting up HELL--ANNOY tomorrow. (Obligatory fart sounds)

BELVIDERE, Ill. (WIFR) - President Biden is coming to Belvidere on Thursday, November 9.

According to White House communications staff, the President will deliver remarks and meet with United Auto Workers, UAW President Shawn Fain and Governor J.B. Pritzker.

The visit comes after the UAW’s historic agreement with Stellantis that includes the reopening of Belvidere’s idled plant.

As part of the tentative agreement, Stellantis will commit nearly $5 billion investment to remodel the Belvidere plant over the next four years. The plans include production of a new electric midsized truck and battery manufacturing facility.

  • $3.2 billion for the battery plant with venture partner to be announced; expected to open in 2028.
  • $1.5 billion to remodel Belvidere for electric midsize truck production; expected to be in operation by 2027 with 80,000-100,000 vehicles made a year.
  • $100 million to create a larger regional parts distribution hub, and increase stamping operations
Local union members are expected to vote Thursday on whether to approve the agreement.

President Biden’s visit will be the first time a sitting president has stopped in the Rockford region since Gerald Ford visited Rockford in 1976 for remarks at Cherryvale shopping mall.

Odds he falls down some stairs?
 
new electric midsized truck
Ah, another useless boondoggle.
Anyone who actually uses trucks for their work can list off the many factors which would disqualify an electric.

Take your pick of low hanging fruit, including:
range (alone, or when impacted by high-load hauling)
charge times
durability issues
explosion risks (seriously, just a pin-prick to one of those cells and BOOM)
propensity to become useless in extreme terrain and/or weather
 
His party, if I'm not mistaken, didn't even have a large enough majority.
His party won between 40-45% of the vote. A few more years and he might have won a majority which is why the German president at the time selected him as the chancellor as he was trying to tard wangle Hitler before he had majority control.
