ELECTION
- 2026 =
Make it hurt. Make it painful.
Leave no doubt that Donald Trump and
MAGA Republicans have been resoundingly rejected by the American people.
Their defeat needs to be overwhelming and seared in the public memory for all time.

President Macron, "Brexit has cost the UK 8% of GDP.. Brexit is the biggest lie of the last 30 years" My view: Brexit was sold as a route to greater prosperity: less bureaucracy, more money, new trade opportunities Instead, Britain put new barriers between itself and its largest trading market.

If you’re not from Missouri, you may not know that Eric Schmitt got his start in MAGA politics by suing public schools for mask mandates while their teachers died during a pandemic. The really strange thing? He never sued his own kids’ school for their mask mandate. He’s a piece of Schitt.

Paxton is objectively correct. The line on this chart represents the day of Trump’s midterm convention. It was clearly an inflection point that backfired badly on Republicans.
Silver Bulletin chart titled “Are Democrats or Republicans winning the race for Congress?” showing the polling average for the 2026 generic congressional ballot from early 2025 through September 2026. The line begins with a Republican advantage in early 2025, crosses into Democratic territory around spring 2025, and generally rises through 2026, ending at a Democratic advantage of 8.9%. A vertical annotation near the far right marks the Republican Midterm Convention in September 2026. After this line, the Democratic advantage surges.

Richest 1% of Britons owns more wealth than the bottom 70% of the population combined. 50 richest families hold more wealth than the poorest half of the population combined. The concentration of wealth in fewer hands has not provided the necessary economic stimulus. Need redistribution.
