No "red wave", and MAGA is to blame.


 You voted, and the "red wave"  that all the pundits saw coming, turned out to be a little more than a puddle.  

Maybe some of you really do care about democracy.  And maybe, just maybe, you realize that paying a little more for gas --and the food you buy-- is not quite as serious as having your  freedom taken away. 

Now comes the fun part. The right-wingnuts will start to turn on each other, as we all know that the malevolent narcissist living in South Florida had his ego seriously bruised. He has started already. He is now threatening to take his cult and their red hats and totally abandon the republican party. 

I, for one, do not feel sorry for the republican establishment. This is what happens when you make a Faustian bargain; at some point you are sure to get burned. 

Anyway, I recently read an article by Mark Greene (an incredible writer whom I just discovered), and it summed up the age of MAGA, and the madness that surrounds it, perfectly. 

Here goes: 

"The MAGA movement, based on aging white boomer victimhood is a bell curve. That bell curve has peaked for the simple reason that boomers, of which I am one, are dying off. We are the MAGA movement. How we got here is a combination of our own disconnection and the vulnerability which that created to decades of carefully crafted manipulation.

All white boomers don’t vote for Trump. But for the ones that do, I really don’t think it’s because they are bored and unfulfilled.

They vote for Trump because they grew up in the most prosperous economic era in American history; many of them did quite well out of it financially; and then they greedily pulled up the ladder after them by voting for tax/benefit cuts, union-busting laws, and mindless free trade policies.

Now they are afraid that subsequent generations, deprived of the great opportunities they had, are now coming for their retirement savings at the ballot box. These boomers refuse to accept that they themselves wrecked the economy for subsequent generations with the hyper-capitalist policies they voted for. They prefer the soothing, alternative messages coming out of Fox “News” and other wingnut media outlets:

Everything is bad because there are too many brown people now, so we need to “send them back” and then everything will be great again.

I am really curious as to how the “red wave” narrative got started.

Admittedly, it is common for the party in power to lose seats in the midterms. Certainly there was indeed a red wave in 2010, when voters threw a temper tantrum and took it out on Democrats because Obama was not able to instantly fix all the economic damage from the global financial crisis.

But in 2022, over the summer, the polling indicated that wasn’t happening. While voters were angry about inflation and crime, and some did unfairly blame the Democrats for those things, voters were also extremely appalled by Republican assaults on democracy and the overturning of Roe v Wade, and that had turned this into a tight race all over the country.

So why, in the weeks just prior to the election, did pundits decide that “Oh no, voters are switching back to the Republicans! Red wave!”? When nothing like that was actually happening.

Did they listen to a bunch of faked polls from GOP-linked pollsters? Are they just determined to believe that the Democrats are destined to always lose? Why did pundits ignore the reliable evidence that said there would be no red wave?

I'm not a boomer, having lived through the second World War, so I don't relate to the characteristics described in the article. I have always voted for the Democratic Party after doing some research on which party was better for poor and middle class people.
My parents taught me that I was responsible for my successes and failures in life, so as hard as I try, I cannot understand how anyone can become a maga with it's mantel of victim hood.

Well, Fergus and his felons gleefully shat on political and governing norms ever since he rode the escalator of doom, and now one of the long accepted norms, that the party in power loses the mid terms badly, didn't come to pass.
Sometimes it's wise to be careful what you break.
I'm a boomer, but I never bought into the consumerism, and by my own doing, did face some genuinely hard times. Perhaps that might be responsible for which side I chose when I finally woke up politically, but mostly it was just the naked, destructive greed of the Republicans that drove me to be a Democrat.
That and the endless lies.

Previously, it would have constituted delusional conspiratorial thinking to suggest this could be taking place.

But these days, it's all too plausible that Republican-affiliated polling outfits might have put out intentionally rigged polls suggesting that Republicans would win big, hoping that this would boost their actual results.

The GOP is nothing but a big bag of dirty tricks these days.

“So why, in the weeks just prior to the election, did pundits decide that “Oh no, voters are switching back to the Republicans!“

It was a calculated ploy so if Republicans lost they can point to the polls to strengthen their claims of fraud. It’s fairly easy to rig polls by targeting a specific audience. For example, not many young people have landlines or will answer an unknown caller. Many elections are still being counted so it may work tangentially.🤷🏾‍♂️

I'm pissed that that neckbearded little grifter and Peter Thiel henchman JD Vance is the one who beat Ryan.

It's depressing that Vance's "fuck the poor" novel Hillbilly Elegy was taken by liberal coastal journalists as some kind of insightful sociological treatise about the white working class, rather than a pile of made-up rubbish intended to serve as Vance's job application to be a Republican politician. The New Republic referred to him as "the liberal media's favorite white trash–splainer." Even Ron Howard got played, making a damn movie about Vance's lame redneck fairy tales.

Vance tells Trump-level lies. He said Alex Jones was more reputable than Rachel Maddow, and that Biden was deliberately letting drug dealers across the border so that their fentanyl would kill MAGA voters.

In a couple years, this guy will have morphed into a full-on Christian nationalist. Count on it. We're all gonna be very sorry he ended up in the Senate.

Flying Junior said...

I really enjoyed this analysis. For me the childish sense of entitlement is really the driver here of just about everything that went wrong. The author brings a sense that this has all come to an ignominious end. But, of course, there is still much pain to go through and a great deal to come. It may be closer to a natural death than it has ever been before. But sadly there are people as young as Kyle Rittenhouse who felt the need to patrol a used car lot against Black Lives Matter and related protest groups and then decided to go chase a couple of guys and even kill one guy with his long rifle. Nick Sandmann was a student who went to an all-boys Catholic high school and had nothing better to do than go to an anti-abortion protest with his school mates. Fortunately this appears to be a very small minority. But this movement is not going away fast enough for me.

Back to the privileged victim class. We have all heard the heart-breaking cries of agony from the right with regards to gas prices and inflation. They seem to lose sight of the fact that they do live in single-family homes with happy kids and two beautiful late-model cars or more and may even have lawns and gardens to rival the royalty of old. These same overgrown babies are the ones supporting U.S. sanctions against some of the poorest populations in both hemispheres. While they put $7.00/gallon gas in their shiny, high-performance vehicles because they are too lazy to care enough to save a dime by paying in cash, the poor in Iran deal with crushing economic sanctions increasing their costs for food, fuel and shelter until it is out-of-reach. Beautiful Venezuelans, who once shared heating oil with our citizens every winter, have been languishing under sanctions for decades.

And they are so dumb they blame a president who just took office last year. As if he killed the goose that laid the Golden Egg, (free trade with China). As if he personally snarled the supply chains between all of our economic partners. As if he caused inflation instantaneously simply by becoming president.

It does hurt to see my personal standard of living cut down to size a little bit. But I'm not looking at losing my home like someone in Ukraine. I haven't been forced to flee my country. Praise be I still have my same job. I do wish to postpone retirement as long as possible. My status in the community will suffer. It's part of who I am.

And boomers didn't wreck the economy for crying out loud. There will still be fortunes to be made. There will be ordinary people who succeed wildly. There will be working men and women who make an honest living and have good lives and raise their children. The economy is just fine. The problem has to do with wealth inequality. I guess that was inevitable with a system like ours. But there are ways of addressing this problem. There are also other parameters than simply trying and failing to have and get what you can plainly see that boomers have. There are other lifestyles other than the big car and house in the suburbs. It's not the only path.

Some of our best wins came in state legislative races. Indivisible targeted state legislative races in an effort to preempt any Republican election fuckery in case the supremes hand a bunch of power to state legislatures, and they were wildly successful, flipping chambers in swing states, handing the dems a trifecta in Michigan and Minnesota and denying Republicans veto proof supermajorities in places where election denial was a worry for 2024.
We need to make this a permanent priority. Republicans have had far too much control over statehouses for far too long, and the goddamn wingnuts in SCOTUS are likely to hand more power to them that way.

@Doug
The Dems need to concentrate their state-level efforts on Wisconsin and Florida. The GOP have way too much control in those two states, relative to what their residents would actually prefer.

Both ought to be purple states, but they are currently effectively red states because Republicans hijacked the electoral machinery and rigged it to their benefit while the Dems weren’t paying attention.

We may need federal intervention to get those two back, but we're not likely to get it now since the house is iffy and Manchin and Sinema still exist.

Won't the vast profits raised from Elon's $8 blue checks make up for all the businesses fleeing Twitter because the blue checks no longer protect them from defamation?

No? That's not how it works?

LOL.

Monetizing blue checks was the most extreme example of a dumb, greedy business idea I've heard since Irish airline Ryanair suggested they were going to introduce pay toilets on their airplanes.

This indicates Elon had zero plan for what he intended to do when he signed the contract to buy Twitter (and then tried to weasel out of it). He's completely winging it, and failing miserably. He's already told his staff Twitter might have to declare bankruptcy. It's hilarious, but also sad, that he is ruining an entire social media platform used by millions of people solely because of his ego and his weird, unworkable libertarian ideas about limitless free speech.

We have to hope the “kids” don’t do too much damage in the meantime, though. (These are very bad “kids.” They need to be sent to juvie.)

One particularly worrying possibility is that House Republicans will threaten to force the federal government to default on its debts unless the Democrats into pass budget cuts or other wingnut priorities. Our economic recovery won’t be helped by a debt default.

The Democrats could head this type of extortion off at the pass by eliminating the debt limit during the lame duck session of Congress, but they probably won’t have the guts to do this.

Maybe Biden will finally be forced to mint the trillion-dollar coin? It’s a wacky idea, but these are wacky times.

Didn't we pass a new debt ceiling in 2021 just using the reconciliation process?

We should be able to swing a simple majority in the Senate even if good times party boy, Herschel Walker wins his runoff in December.

I know I must be making some mistakes in counting. What do we have, two independent Senators now? But it is starting to look simpler. Right now we have 48 democratic senators and two independents, Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Angus King of Maine that caucus with the blue team. So that's just 49 repubs. If Walker wins, it will be 50-50

Anonymous said...

“Didn't we pass a new debt ceiling in 2021 just using the reconciliation process?”

My understanding is that reconciliation will only help overcome a Republican filibuster in the Senate. It can’t overcome Republican control of the House.

So unless Democrats eliminate the debt ceiling, or raise it to some preposterously high number, by the end of this year, we may be back to ridiculous debt ceiling standoffs again once Kevin McCarthy becomes speaker of the House.

And that will suck. The Dems should take this weapon away from the Republicans. Don’t let the terrorists win.

Maybe, but ... remember that the original debt ceiling standoff in 2011 started with ALL 236 House Republicans refusing to raise the debt ceiling. That includes the ones from blue states.

A compromise was eventually reached and the debt ceiling was raised before the government defaulted, but not before Standard & Poor's got sick of the Republicans' shit and downgraded the nation's credit rating anyway. That means the interest rate at which the U.S. borrows money went up, and in turn, everyone will now owe more money and have to pay more in taxes than otherwise would have happened. Or the government can spend less on useful things because we're spending more on servicing debt. Take your pick.

This was all the result of an irresponsible game of chicken that House Republicans played to try to get their way. (Not that they actually care about the debt, at all, or else they wouldn't have voted to increase the debt by cutting taxes under Trump. This stunt was just an attempt to cut spending and shaft poor people, which is what Republicans always want.)

Next time, they may not stop the car in time to avoid going off the cliff. And so they could accidentally cause the federal government to actually default, which will quite possibly induce a recession, which would be the dumbest thing ever.

I don't like any plan that involves counting on any Republicans to act sane. Based on past performance, I trust don't trust any of them that much.

Two things, the Tea Partiers are different from MAGA's and 236 is a whole lot different than 219ish. Blue states have red districts but these elections going down to the wire are truly purple. If they go full MAGA they will hurt themselves in 2024 which is a good thing so if they want to make Gym Jordan speaker and act as the insane asylum they are free to do so. Look at the way even Candace Owens is turning on trump so anyone still on that train may do themselves' harm.

Covid Deaths Probably Cost Republicans the Midterms

November 14, 2022 at 12:51 pm EST By Taegan Goddard 158 Comments

Jonathan Last: “So again, lots of factors were at play. Including one that doesn’t get talked about much: excess Covid deaths. There’s been an ongoing study of the Republican resistance to the Covid vaccines and the preliminary findings suggest that post-vaccine, Republicans accounted for about 80 percent more of the excess deaths than Democrats. Part of this is because of vaccine hesitancy; part of it is because of the age profile of voters.”

“I’m not going to burden you with the math here, but if you want to read up on it, the data is quite striking, all the way to the county level.”

“To take just one example: between January 2021 and this month, 9,400 people in Nevada died of Covid. The data suggests that the majority of these people would have been Republican voters. Keep that number in mind.”

No, silly, those are the “deserving” kinds of students:

Doctors. And, probably, if they’re willing to practice medicine in South Dakota, white doctors.

Also, attracting doctors to South Dakota, where many of them would not otherwise choose to live, guarantees medical care to the wingnutty residents of that state, who are, likewise, “deserving.”

Mrs. Junior was on Yahoo News reading the day's latest fuckery from Musk. In response to his "step up to the plate" email sent to his remaining 38 hundred employees yesterday, another 1,200 called his bluff and resigned. This is, of course, coming on the heels of Musk firing three times that number earlier this week. Someone in the comments predicted that he would simply declare bankruptcy and use the huge losses to offset some of his taxes on his profitable companies.

I had to point out that that will not work so well considering that Twitter is now a privately held company. He won't declare bankruptcy because he would not in truth be going through a bankruptcy. He may still be one of the two or three richest men in the world. He has plenty of assets that could be impounded to satisfy creditors. He would end up taking a bubble bath in an Olympic size swimming pool.

I don't think being privately held implies that Twitter isn't legally structured as a corporation. I doubt that Twitter's creditors can come after Elon's personal assets in the event of a bankruptcy.

A better question is whether Elon's co-investors (he didn't front all of the $44 billion purchase price of Twitter himself) can force him out as CEO of the company before he destroys the company and incinerates any hope of getting any of their money back.

Well, that’s how it works if you’re a corporate raider.

Elon isn’t. He’s not actively trying to asset-strip the company and kill it. He’s trying to make Twitter work, but he just has no idea how, so he’s killing it with incompetence.

Apparently, he didn’t spend even five minutes figuring out what he wanted to do with Twitter before he bought it, beyond wanting to fire all the moderators and usher in a glorious new era of free (hate) speech.

“The pardon is for people convicted of possessing one ounce or less of marijuana, in pre-2016 cases, in which the person was 21 years or older. Brown’s pardon applies in cases where possession was the only charge, and there were no victims.”

At this point, there is probably not enough time left for the Jan 6th Committee to analyze Trump’s tax returns. He has successfully run the clock out on that option.

However, they can certainly publish the entire pile of tax returns on a public website for journalists to rake through for evidence of wrongdoing. It won’t be as good as a congressional committee, because journalists can’t issue subpoenas, but it’s still useful. And maybe some state or federal prosecutors will also find them interesting.
