A year after promising viewers a “red tsunami” in the 2022 midterms, only to be left with egg on their faces after the GOP drastically underperformed, Fox News was once again wondering what went wrong after Democrats romped to victory in statewide elections on Tuesday night.
Despite recent polls showing President Joe Biden deeply underwater with voters and even losing to Donald Trump in several battleground states, the Democratic incumbent governor easily won victory over his MAGA-endorsed opponent in deep-red Kentucky. And over in Ohio, a state Trump won by eight points in 2020, voters overwhelmingly passed an amendment ensuring access to abortion care in the state’s constitution.
The continued drag that undoing Roe v. Wade has had on the GOP was especially apparent in Virginia, where Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin had promised to implement a 15-week abortion ban if the GOP was able to gain unified control over the state’s General Assembly. Instead, not only were Youngkin’s hopes of a Republican sweep dashed, but the Democrats now control both chambers.
It’s so hilarious to see these people still acting like the dog that caught the car.
The forced birthers, oops, I mean, “pro lifers” need to shut up for a little while and repeat this mantra in their heads, over and over until it fucking sinks in: “Roe [*] WAS the compromise. Roe WAS the compromise”.
[*] The thing they worked for decades to destroy.
Nah, I’m fine with them continuing to announce their anti-abortion views. Politically it costs then elections, and in real life it helps identify the idiots.
While 10yo rape victims suffer…
Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better.
