The Hill-
Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-N.J.) defeated former New Jersey General Assembly member Jack Ciattarelli (R) in the New Jersey governor’s race, securing a major win for Democrats in their first election cycle since the start of President Trump’s second term, according to Decision Desk HQ.
Sherrill, a fourth-term congresswoman representing a district in northern New Jersey, fended off a competitive challenge from Ciattarelli, who ran for governor for a third time after narrowly losing to New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy (D) in 2021. Murphy is term-limited and couldn’t run again. more
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
What the hell is wrong with you MORONS in the Northeast?? Voting for you own destruction. Do you never learn??? Were you never taught,,, anything? DUH!!
She plans to raise their already high taxes and energy costs and make NJ a sanctuary state and fight ICE deportation efforts.
Is there ANY good news from yesterday’s elections? So depressed at the stupidity of our fellow Americans.
The commies kept The People’s Republic of Cincinnati as well, despite mushrooming violence to where they had to fire their DEI police cheif to save their DEI mayor that TOLD her to act like that.
With about a 25% turnout.
Not really surprised…
I think there were a lot of voting shenanigans and skull duggery going on in Rat-Blue areas.
Edit: and Red areas too!
Everyone with an IQ above room temperature left NY and NJ over a decade ago.
The communists and the democrats got the voting age lowered to 18. Soros and the chicoms corrupted our schools and got enough useful idiots to get obama
elected. Obama and his handlers seeded our country with somalis and muslims and created the “julia” movement. Biden then opened the border. Here we are.
Republicans/conservatives lose for the following reasons, but likely won’t mull over how to address them because they don’t want to hear this and to an extent are in their own emotional echo-chambers, just as the other side is in theirs.
Aside from election fraud, we lose for these reasons:
(1) Self-interest: People who get freebies want them to continue, and otherwise, much of professed “concern” for the “oppressed” or “struggling” actually plays off this (“What if I…”), as well as envy and resentment. Trump understands the problem and does a decent job with it, but still seemed to not fully comprehend in a recent interview that, e.g., not everyone has a 401(k). It’s a campaign strategy issue — what benefits, not merely avoiding what detriments.
(2) Anti-abortion absolutism: This is not the position of anywhere close to a majority of the country and never will be; being against the termination of fetuses before they reach the point at which they can feel pain or suffer is grounded solely in religious beliefs that not everyone shares and not everyone ever will. Decades of pro-sex pro-abortion feminist propaganda have made this a visceral irrational overriding issue that leads to “Democrat only” voting. Which ties into…
(3) Fear of theocracy: In a country in which fully a third of the population is not Christian and a goodly portion of the rest identify only superficially as Christian because they don’t identify as anything else, religious belief alone does not suffice as the rationale for laws, morality, or activist positions (e.g. being against the covid vaxx because “religion” instead of that its dangerous and not effective, or against the nonsense of “gender” ideology because “God made two sexes’ — conflating the term with reproductive roles, rather than that people don’t have “gendera”). Pounding the religion drum is terrifying, exclusionary, and counter-productive as far as there being any hope to rein in poisonous ideologies such as Islam based on secular rationales, and it’s also why so many Jews are reflexively “Democrat only” even when it’s against their overall interests.
(4) Screwtape.
Looks like Conservative, Inc. is back in the driver’s seat again, losing to democrats but for all the “good” and “proper” reasons.
– Don’t impeach judges who make repeated bad calls clearly to interfere with Trump’s efforts to purge the country of 40 million illegals.
– Work with democrats to delay Trump appointments.
– Put never-Trump republicans up for elected office, playact like they have a chance in hell of winning, burn a lot of public energy on them, and then pretend that it’s no big deal with they get stomped.
– Piss away the months before off year elections obsessing about Israel and “groypers”. Get Christians to burn political capitol to protect Israel while Christians are getting murdered all over the globe.
I truly believe that the GOP leadership believes it’s their job to turn the country over to the communists while simultaneously playacting as if that’s the last thing they want.
