Unseen levels of Republican cope on social media rn

What's happening? Aren't they getting the house?
Or is it that they didn't get a huge victory like they thought?

From when I checked last it seemed like dems get the Senate or at least get 50 and Republicans get the house

R's were pretty confident in a red wave

S*** they should take the W. They could've lost both lol

Dems aren't beating DeSantis in FL

They still could

Likely Reasons the GOP underperformed:
-Abortion
-Trump
-Trump Related Positions
-Bad Candidates & Campaigns
-Rhetorical Association w/ Stop The Steal/Jan 6
-Dem Funding Of Bad Candidates to Forefront
-Lack of messaging focus

Predictions for GOP future:
-DeSantis
-More social issue/culture war messaging (less abortion fights, more “trans kids” fights)
-More JD Vance-type candidates

I'm not a big politics guy but I doubt it.
I would've liked to see Biden be able to pass legislation without much trouble

Virtually all republicans (hell, even just general consensus not just them) were convinced 100% it was going to be an absolute blowout, and polling to a degree did seem to support that. They massively underperformed especially in key pickup races that should have been easy, both senate and governor ones. They are likely to win the house but lose the senate.

Yeah. But now they can just not vote any legislation in during bidens tenure. So they got the disruption they wanted at least?

Just not total domination

I love how social media/liberals is using a tragedy of dead kids to lampoon/make fun of Texas for going red again.

Like the voter suppression, gerrymandering, etc aint like crazy down there.

I really hope empathy and nuance becomes something of a trend in the future, but probably not.

Yeah but the important thing about keeping the Senate is the judicial picks

Especially if a Supreme Court justice passes or retires before 2024

It definitely gives them a small benefit to win the house but vs the original predictions it’s a massive underperformance that shows issues within the party vs voters

Seems like a lot of polls underestimated Dems this time

House is still on the table, which is HILARIOUS

It was a horrible night for Trump

Lowkey IF the Dems win these last 4 Senate races (some places have called WI but some haven't so) and lose the house by a small margin, there is a small chance that Roe could be codified

Every single anti-abortion legislation on the ballot last night got shot tf down

The Roe v Wade overreach was awful but clearly it did prevent a red wave and galvanized the youth vote

You see a GOP House really doing that?

they prob overcorrected from 2016/18 poll tactics

All they need is a few votes to put them over and there are definitely a few R's who could vote to codify, especially those anti-Trump Republicans

Again the Republican margin has to be slim, like a 5 seat majority or something

there was a bunch of republicans running as kinda like "abortion candidates"

In PA they all lost but I wonder how that looks on the national lvl..

nobody should be surprised by this tbh

Very unlikely. GOP picks up WI & AK obviously, and Dems are likely to pick up AZ. This means the race would come down to NV and the GA runoff - my bets would be NV to GOP, GA to Dems which would basically keep the senate 50/50

I knew the GOP f***ed themselves with Roe v Wade. That was a super out of touch move. Only matters to people who were voting Republican no matter what.

Biden picked up some momentum and had a decent streak after that and the chances of a Red Wave died there.
