The Republican will still control Congress until January 3rd. They should stay in session until then confirming Constitutionally minded judges and passing as much legislation as possible. The lame duck congress under Biden confirmed 22 liberal judges. Surely the Republicans can at least match that number.
The scope and scale of the election results were stunning, but the outcome was not. Many Trump voters were financially stretched in 2024 due to Biden Administration policies. It is two years later, and no relief is in sight. It is my belief that the Iran war was the catalyst for the Republican trouncing as supporters simply could not hold out much longer and were ready for a change. Unfortunately, the power has been handed back to the very same people that caused the problem to start with.
History tells us that great free societies tend to be destroyed, end up as communist or socialist countries, or exist as mere shadows of themselves. The Roman Empire is one good example as the foundations that made the Romans great were gradually errored by immigrants who did not share their beliefs. I fear the US is headed down this road but only time will tell.
Texas was believed to be a business friendly state that was reliably Republican. Billions have been invested believing this, and now it has turned dark blue. I feel for entrepreneurs like Elon who now are likely to face higher taxes, more regulation, and an unpredictable future.
Yesterday (Election Day) I was in Downtown Atlanta and struck up a conversation with a Democrat voting organizer who had been in town for 2 weeks. At 2 pm he was still working the Georgia Tech Campus area for votes. The Democrats are organized, motivated, and smart. They cannot be underestimated.
@elonmusk For some reason people cannot seem to understand that it takes data centers to keep rapidly advancing technology, designed to make everyones lives better, running smoothly. The negative narrative by the left and their mainstream media allies has seemed to stick. It is a shame.
One has to marvel at the effectiveness of the Democrat plan to fundamentally change America. Their policies of open borders, concentrated resettlement, and lax voting requirements have worked to perfection. They are taking a few states at a time with Texas being the most surprising.
Election day if finally here, and by tomorrow we will know most of the results. My hope is that those who believe in the American capitalist system will get out and vote thus pushing back the angry authoritarian ideology that has gained a foothold in our beautiful country.
Tesla and SpaceX have created meaningful wealth for hundreds of thousands of employees over time and improved the retirement savings of hundreds of millions of people
If the Democrats gain control of the House of Representative and the Senate their leaders will be Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer who will aggressively push the same Biden policies that Trump and the Republicans are trying to reverse. The margins in this election will be razor thin so if you love having a secure border, lower taxes, and less crime on your streets you must vote Republican.
Trump has only been in office for two and a half years and is catching a lot of grief for not completely turning around Bidens 4 years of destruction. We should give Trump a chance to finish his term with the tools he needs to reverse the damage. The answer is to vote Republican this cycle.
I understand completely. I have always been a moderate and voted for the candidate that was most closely aligned with my views. Party did not matter. Now the Democrat party seems to be filled with hateful far left leaning people who will say and do almost anything to gain or retain power. It is a shame.
