A year after promising viewers a āred tsunamiā in the 2022 midterms, only to be left with egg on their faces after the GOP drastically underperformed, Fox News was once again wondering what went wrong after Democrats romped to victory in statewide elections on Tuesday night.
Despite recent polls showing President Joe Biden deeply underwater with voters and even losing to Donald Trump in several battleground states, the Democratic incumbent governor easily won victory over his MAGA-endorsed opponent in deep-red Kentucky. And over in Ohio, a state Trump won by eight points in 2020, voters overwhelmingly passed an amendment ensuring access to abortion care in the stateās constitution.
The continued drag that undoing Roe v. Wade has had on the GOP was especially apparent in Virginia, where Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin had promised to implement a 15-week abortion ban if the GOP was able to gain unified control over the stateās General Assembly. Instead, not only were Youngkinās hopes of a Republican sweep dashed, but the Democrats now control both chambers.
Itās kind of amazing how much the military still leans right after all the Trump shit.
The draft dodging, the incredible disrespect for the military, the obscene bullshit like the hurricane marker incident, the dictator worship, the subservience to Putin, and of course the coup. I would think military people would be better at recognizing incompetence at least.
A couple redditers put together a list of links to articles highlighting each of Trumpās attacks on our own military, from policy to just disrespectful shit like his āI lIkE pEopLe wHo wErnāT cApTUrEd.ā
Ignoring the shit he did against every other slice of our nation, and JUST focusing on things that hurt the military/vets, there had to be around a hundred links.
I definitely converted a few people with that list.
But yeah, the rightās kool-aid is a potent drug - itās easy to just keep chugging without question.
Do you still have the link to that post?
No, the original got deleted. Looks like there have been a few attempts to recreate it though: found one that looks decent, but redditās being fucky with the comments actually showing up in the thread they were posted - itās a 3 part post and only one shows up, but if you look at the userās comment history you can see them all back to back. This link should bring you to the correct page, ctrl+F āPT 3 -.-ā to jump to it. Itās reverse chronological, so the the pt 3 is the last, with the 2nd and 1st appearing under it.
Infact, fuggit, I hate directing traffic to reddit, and Iāve got the pages open now. Gimme a min and Iāll just get the list + links over as a post here.
Edit - Here ya go:
