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.”
It would be a fools errand to fight on that level with them. Just sink our politics further into the idiocracy farce.
Your last point, though, def. Look at 2008, look at the support for Bernie. Look at AOC, mamdani. They captured the excitement and won handily. Why was that? Because hey ran on real progressive change. Which people are desperate for. But the establishment, which includes the Democratic Party, will stop at nothing to keep people like that from winning. It ruins their big club.
