Musings on today's election

We continue to live in Claire Wolfe's "Awkward Time" - too late to vote ourselves out of this, too early to shoot the bastards in the face.  But in CHurchill's famous dictum, it's better to Jaw-Jaw than to War-War.  And so The Queen Of The World and I voted.  I know, I know ...

Turnout had been brisk all day.  I don't know if it's like this other places than here at the edge of Tampa suburbia.  If so, this likely means Republicans will do well.  If they do, I'm not sure what that will mean.  Certainly there are a bunch of Young Turks coming into the GOP, but the establishment will not willingly give up their perks, power, and riches.

I have no doubt about the outcome for the House of Representatives.  There are 438 House districts and self-sorting by the population combined with gerrymandering by the politicians means that it's really, really hard for a centralized voting fraud machine to swing more than a handful of districts.  So the Republicans will comfortably control the House, perhaps with their biggest majority ever.  Since the House is the ones that create the spending bills, this is an excellent position to cause all sorts of pain to the out of control Left in this Republic.

Republicans should continue their winning streak with Governor's races, and pick up some Senate seats.  But these races are State wide, and so a small number of Democratic controlled districts could (in theory) upset the vote via industrial level fraud.  We'll see how this looks tomorrow.  If the Red Wave means that Fulton County needs over 100% of the vote to reelect Raphael Warnock, then that is something that you can catch.  I'm not sanguine over this, at least in places like Pennsylvania, Arizona, and Georgia - in other words, the places where you can still smell the stench of the 2020 election.

So it's wait and see.  But tonight TQOTW and I are off to Ron DeSantis' victory rally in Tampa.  This will be the first political rally I will ever have attended.  Since Ron is going to smoke his opponents, it should be a fun time, and I'm interested to see if it's different seeing the man in Real Life rather than in Youtube clips.

And I'd be worried about rioters in the street except that Gov DeSantis has made his position on that crystal clear.  And this isn't Chicago or California.

  1. Ms. Wolfe's "awkward stage" passed more than a quarter century ago. We are WELL into the state where we should be shooting the bastards. Yet here we are....hoping and praying that the candidates we want get enough real votes to "beat the margin of cheat". I'm not holding my breath. The left proved in 2020 they can steal the biggest office in the land and do so with total impunity. If you think they haven't massively expanded and improved that cheat machine you're an abject moron. TINVOWOOT. The only way the leftists in power leave power is feet first, toes up covered in blood. Nothing else will work. They have proven that beyond any doubt.

  2. Liked the first paragraph. I think publicly it is spot on, however, I wonder if in many minds it is way past the tipping point but there is simply no organized counteroffensive.

    Good luck with Nicole; looks like you will join 650 miles wide of winds (wow!). The 0400 update has center going right over my roof, but considering the numbers this season I'm not going to complain. Heh. Most of our Ian prep was still in place.
