Trump Enslavement Syndrome - Orange man good. /r/The_Donald and any public demonstration of rabid pro-Trump enthusiasm in spite of all reason.

I agree with your point generally, but Blue Texas is a hell of a lot closer than Red California. I see Texas slowly drifting left due to immigrants, Austin growing in population, COMMIEFORNIA expatriates, etc.

Edit: Also I really think someone on the left will pose a legitimate challenge and probably beat Ted Cruz in the foreseeable future. Literally nobody likes that guy to the point where a charismatic goofball loser made a decent run at his seat.

Or he might be primaried by the right, I dunno. One way or the other, I don’t think he’ll be around more than another couple of election cycles.

It always makes me smile when I see them put forward these fake maps where California swaps to red. In addition to having one of the biggest D over R margins (29.16%), it's such a big, diverse state that it'll take a pretty major series of social shifts to change that. In fact, compared to 2016 California actually did shift a little red (it was the third largest percent margin in 2016, in 2020 it was 6th), but it was still just under a percentage point because California's absolute vote margin (non-percentage) of over 5 million is as big as the next four largest states combined (for reference, Florida and Texas had a combined absolute vote margin of just over a million, about half as much as New York's).
You'd probably have better luck getting New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, Maryland, and Washington to all go red than getting California since you'd need to switch a similar number of voters from a much larger population.

It's funny because California also has more GOP voters than any other state. It's a big fucking state.

Trump cultists thinking CA was going to go red is literally just their brain spiders chittering sweet affirmations into their ears. It will not happen.

Closer but saying Texas would go blue in 2020 was ridiculous, even in an election Democrats won. Any possibility of blue Texas would be some years down the line.

I remember in the election discussion thread someone made the “prediction” that if Trump lost Texas then he would lose the election. It literally made me laugh out loud, Texas has as many electoral votes as any two swing states (other than Florida). But more than that, if the tide had shifted enough for TX to go D then there’s no way whatever caused it isn’t going to ripple through a dozen other states.

But even though I never really expected Texas to go blue, on 11/3 it took up a lot of my attention because we had a reverse of the Red Mirage in Texas and Biden held onto a lead a lot later than I’d expected. And this was right after FL and OH had gone surprisingly hard for Republicans and a lot of Democratic states were still waiting for their urban population centers to report in (I’m not even talking the absentee ballots here, I’m talking Election Day polling place votes). It was one reason to remain optimistic in an election that would seem like a close thing (until Milwaukee’s absentee votes came in the next morning). So Texas in 2020 wasn’t actually close, but it seems so much closer because of the circumstances surrounding it.

As I said, both sides make comically optimistic maps where they win by hundreds of electoral votes. Neither case actually happens.

Holy fuck this is autistic, yeah Trump sure did care about those people who "protested" the capital rather than just root for them while watching TV. I know @Bunny Tracks will love this since they are using a clip from their favorite anime of all time.

I feel ashamed of something I didn't make.

Is the "Takin' ir gunz away!" The most powerful bogey the Right has in America? It won't ever happen. They barely could do something with masks mandates.

Not really. The most common right wing bogeyman, at least on sites like this and patriots.win, is the idea that Democrats will just cheat their way to every election victory with voter fraud. Obviously Trump himself was pushing this as an excuse for losing and it's caught on a lot more than anything else. I'd expect an absolutely massive surge of voter fraud conspiracies around the midterms next year.

They're still trying to make mask mandates a bogeyman, even though blue staters are abandoning masks more and more.

Of course, they can do that because those states have high vaccination levels. I keep saying this, but it'll be the red states that deal with new COVID surges from now on.

Are we still in for the Democrats to lose control of the House? How will the fact that Trump will keep talking about how the election was stolen impact this?

No idea and probably not that much. The Georgia senate runoffs were pretty narrow despite Loeffler being a terrible candidate who would probably have lost anyway and Trump being in office at the time. I would expect the effect of an out of office Trump complaining about fraud to be pretty small.

I went down to my blue-state pharmacy the other day and saw people not wearing masks and nobody chastising them for it. In a month or two masks will be a thing of the past.

But he's got the party by the balls. No Republican will dare say anything if Trump says that the Democrats will probably steal the midterms too.
