Former Trump campaign chairman and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told his podcast viewers that Republicans should take Tuesday night’s losses to heart, saying: “The midterms start tonight, and the warning signs are flashing.” He observed that “Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners,” marking “their first statewide wins in 30 years.”

Far-right influencer Mike Cernovich (who spawned the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory) tweeted: “Ted Cruz and Mark Levin are walking Trump into impeachments and then prison. 2026 will be a blood bath.” MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec likewise warned that “2026 will be worse if we don’t course-correct.”

    The longest government shutdown in US history came from Trump and he still got voted back in because people didn’t want a South Asian woman as president. And now we have that shutdown record broken again.

    The fact that he won the Latino, Muslim and Black vote and now they’re acting surprised by the mass deportations, ICE raids and tariffs he’s been imposing is peak “Leopards Ate My Face” material.

      *Black woman.

      The vast majority didn’t want her because she was black, please don’t gloss over this with technicalities.

        Complete outsider here; don’t Americans usually call people from Africa black? Isn’t one of Kamala’s parents from India? Like, I’ve never heard anyone refer to someone from China as “black” before, but I do have an Eastern-European friend who received some anti-Mexican sentiment when he visited the U.S.

          I think the point is that while certainly some Americans would not want someone of Indian descent as President, there are a lot more who would be upset by a black President.

        It was wild seeing libs blame minorities in 2016, I didn’t think they were still doing that.
