The way things are going, people souring on Republicans was a given. The problem is what happens when all the fuckery comes into play for the elections that really matter next year and beyond.

It is good news but it just sucks that there is a large contingent of Americans who seem to just vote for whoever is not in power because they're not happy with their lives. Democrats can win midterms and 2028 but come 2030 those same people will vote Republican because they don't get an immediate fix

The GOP should have at least lost the hispanic vote after the ICE raids.

I'm still flabbergasted to so many voted red.

They thought they were the new white people after the Italians and Irish were let into the club.

Hatred for others being more important than their own well being. It's a flaw of conservatives in general.

Were they Cubans? That would explain it.

Low voter turnout favors Dems now, so these low turnout elections will be very good for them. It's likely that they will do well in midterms as well for that reason, but don't get overconfident based on elections like this, because turnout is very low even compared to midterms in these elections.

Yeah, our overconfidence played a part in Harris's loss.

Desantis can't serve three consecutive terms. He shouldn't be able to in 2026.

Yeah but will their wins be counted? Let's face it Republicans may just refuse to give up their seats. I mean look at the Alaina Habba stuff in New Jersey.

The Florida state GOP now really loathes him after spending years giving him whatever he wanted. I can't imagine they'd change the rules to let him run again.

That's the spirit! Lowered expectations tend to make it more likely to get a positive experience.
