It all comes down to $$$. As long as they instill fear as an emotion during voting they will they stay in business.

because SCOTUS Taliban snatched their rights away. And of course magats attempted a coup on J6 and ran election deniers all over the place.

They have no one to blame but themselves.

WooHoo!

They have no idea why this happened. I love the fact this has been so slow to declare the winners too. Has to be excruciating for the America hating MAGAs.

And he may be finished anyway. He can try to deflect all he wants but the truth is that political animals hate losers. Denial of that will only get you so far. It is one thing to drum up false claims about one election, it is quite another to carry it forward for another election cycle.

Had they been comfortable about a blue wave we may not have won. So many races are uncomfortably close. Maybe their fear mongering helped us.
