  • The Post-Trump Era

    From Joseph Pereira@1:124/5016 to All on Monday, December 01, 2025 07:04:43
    This week, there's a special midterm election in Tennessee. It's for a congressional seat. It's a district that went to Trump by 22 points in the previous presidential election.

    The Republicans, therefore, haven't paid much attention to this election. After all, it was a secure seat, so why worry about it?

    The Democrats, however, smell blood and are paying attention to this election. Money has been poured into it, and the latest poll shows that the Democratic candidate's deficit is only 2 points, while 5 to 7% of voters still don't know who they'll vote for.

    So, the Democrats could very well win this heavily red seat.

    IF that were to happen, it would be a huge political shock.

    After all, it would then be clear to everyone that Trump's policies are failing. That even the reddest states in the US are dropping out and turning away from Trump's policies.

    That could very well lead to a huge shift in Republican resolve. Those seeking re-election will then distance themselves from Trump's policies, because sticking to them will mean losing the next election.
