This is nothing new. It has been the political (and religious) goal of Islam since its founding.
There is no talking them out of it. The only question for Western Civilization is whether they have the will to deal with it (again).
Take this as advice from someone living through what could be your future, Texas, Mississippi, et al:
If you voted in Democrats in state and local offices “because muh gas prices,” sending leftist Dems to your state legislature? Buckle up.
Those local races may seal your fate.
This is what I believe happened in the 96 hours before, during and after Election Day. I have little insider information, this is just me connecting some dots. I could be wrong:
1. The Trump Administration knew it would be a wipeout.
2. The Vance team coordinated with Susie Wiles so there would be a concerted information campaign to blame the loss on Pete Hegseth because of Iran and to oust him, thereby clearing a JD Vance competitor from the field (plus maybe Rubio too).
3. Trump was unaware of this campaign, which included Susie scheduling a Saturday Camp David meeting with Vance/Susie loyalists with Trump out of town (that meeting got cancelled).
4. Vance dropped his "It wasn't me" X post on Wednesday morning (which directly blamed Trump's decisions but also impliedly blamed Hegseth and Rubio), but not before a whole bunch of people (me included) had already started backing Hegseth.
5. Hegseth himself dropped an info campaign that was clearly in anticipation of unfriendly folks in the admin trying to pin the loss on him.
6. It all came to a head in the Oval Office where Trump had to choose between Susie and Hegseth. Trump chose Hegseth and ousted Susie.
This is all conjecture on my part, but it feels right. I base my assessment in part on the fact that there were media people telling me that the Vance team was POd at my "Hegseth 2028" article and they tried to discredit me in the media as being paid by Hegseth to post that article (which is an absolute lie). (Note the similar attacks on Laura Loomer.)
Politics is a nasty, nasty business.
As you see efforts to impeach Hegseth in the days and weeks ahead because he does his job so well, please consider my theory.
This is insane. Doesn’t even include state taxes
Impossible to live like this or get ahead
Infuriating seeing this while all the fraud is being uncovered
We’re funding somali fraud while being forced to pay an exorbitant amount of taxes
Meanwhile illegals get a free life here
Something has to change
We cannot live like this
I'm going to say something that needs to be repeated A LOT over the next two years.
If you are on the Right and someone else on the Right disagrees with you on your choice for the GOP Presidential candidate, you should definitely argue it out with them on an informed, FRIENDLY basis.
And then when the nominee is chosen, the two of you need to join hands and unite behind that candidate.
The alternative is communist jihadists.
The primary season is the time to ARGUE (respectfully).
The general election is the time to UNITE.
If you hate everyone who disagrees with you, uniting becomes impossible and so does winning.

In part.
But how did Romney respond to those baseless attacks? Did he fight back? Did he attack?
No.
And when he rightly said the thing about the 47%, he didn't stand by the truth of it.
THAT'S the problem.
Ten Random Election Night Thoughts:
1. Democrats in power is good business for conservative media and podcasters. Take that for what it is worth.
2. Half of Americans have an IQ of 100 or less.
3. Why is a midterm loss for the Presidential incumbent’s party so common? Are people really that shortsighted and devoid of animating principles? And I mean this in a non-partisan way. Who votes for Obama in 2008 and then helps the GOP win in 2010? Who votes for Trump in 2024 and then helps the Dems win in 2026? Are Americans really that stupidly fickle?
4. Why can’t every state count its votes in a few hours like Florida?
5. Democrat voters are like locusts. They ravage one state, escape that state to a good and decent state, and then turn their new state into the same hellhole they just left. Don’t believe me? Ask Colorado. Now, Texas, apparently.
6. Thune is happy right now.
7. The silver lining is that the Dems are going to accomplish nothing in the next two years other than to run endless, silly investigations and impeachments, which will make them look impotent and weak headed into 2028.
8. Trump is about to be unleashed. He has no midterms to worry about and he probably could care less about the campaign of the 2028 GOP nominee, JD or otherwise. “Unitary executive” is about to take on a new meaning.
9. If I was whomever is in charge of Iran at the moment, I’d be looking at properties in the Cayman Islands.
10. The legacy media still has more power than most conservatives are willing to acknowledge.
Well this sucks.
I’m going to rant for a few moments and then move on in a positive way.
My three unvarnished thoughts on tonight:
1. Any MAGA voter who sat this out to "prove a point" to the eGOP who now lives under Democrat rule deserves what they are about to experience.
2. Trump knew Iran could cost the midterms. But he did it anyway. Because he knows that the Iranian mullahs are theocratic madmen who are trying to build nuclear weapons so they can use them on the USA and Israel, precipitating Armageddon so the Hidden Imam will arise from a well in Qom and force what’s left of humanity to convert to Shia Islam. So Trump had to choose. Win the midterms or save humanity? He chose wisely. Historians will eventually acknowledge this reality.
3. The PRIMARIES are where you make RINOs pay, not the general. Geez.
So THAT’S all over and it’s on to 2028 to save America. Let’s put this behind us, pull together as patriotic conservative Americans, squash the squabbling, infighting and name calling, and get back to where we need to be.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?
No. No it was not.
Onward to 2028…. (I’m dropping the name of my preferred presidential candidate in the morning.)
The whole point of mass mailing ballots is to cheat.
It always has been. The open invitation to cheat is a feature, not a bug.
Anybody who advocates for it is either cheating themselves, thinks the people who are cheating are politically aligned with them, or are absolute morons.
