My friend said this pattern has happened to every single US president ever except J bush (they lost the midterm elections to the opposing party on their second term). Is there data and facts on it?
Cope, seethe, mald, etc. you transphobic waste of oxygen.
Eat shit bitch!
Just remember when reading this image: “shift to democrat” doesn’t mean that county was won by democrats. It could also be a shift from 19% democratic in 2024 to 22% in 2026
Most importantly, Democrats didn’t “win”! Trump just sabotaged the GOP. What are the chances EVERY Democrat ran a flawless campaign and pulled this off in unison.
I pray next that Democrats seize this once in a lifetime opportunity. Americans cried out “make the last 2 years impossible again!” That is the mandate, not business as usual.

Democrats have been building momentum in the state since the disaster of 2014. Dem turnout has climbed from the 1.4M low water mark that year. An enormous part of that was driven by the Beto engagement strategies and permanent campaign apparatus begun in 2018.
By comparison, NY Dems turnout out 3.4M voters in '26. California turned out 5.1M. Texas Dems turned out 5.4M.
Compare Texas to Florida, Virginia, Ohio… Nobody came close. This was as dramatic a swing as the elections in Hungary and Serbia. And all credit goes to Texas locals, who organized cadres fully independent of the national party.
And we have to keep it going. For as long as ive lived in the state its been purple, but overwhelmingly went red because of gerrymandering, and more importantly lack of engagement by democratic voters. They felt it was pointless, because republicans always win, and controlled so much of the government. I assumed even if dems turned out that there would be shenanigans to prevent a republican loss. Yet here we are.
And the Gulf of Mexico is back again!
This dumb bitch. Republicans control Texas & the federal government until January. Did they steal the election from themselves?
No need to call her a bitch ^^
Eh. Loomer has been advocating for mass deportation of Muslims for her entire career.
The shoe fits.
Nah, she’s a bitch. You’re free not to use that word, I’m free to use it, c’est la vie. Unless you’d have preferred I call her a cunt, because I’d be happy to oblige.
Its a realy sexist word you can hate her all you want but this kinda language affects all women :(
Words exist in context. If I called my female boss a bitch because I perceived her as domineering or demanding, that’d be out of line. If I call someone a dumb bitch for running one of the most toxic accounts on social media posting nonsensical disinformation, that’s very different. While I understand that being called a bitch can be very hurtful, I’m not calling you one, I’m calling someone else one, so being offended on their behalf is silly. I’m not gonna censor myself because someone might have a negative association with a word. And before someone says “I’ve heard the same logic applied to the n word” cool well I’m not applying it to the n word, I already don’t say that so I don’t need to censor myself.
Etymologically speaking bitch refers only to women, but in modern usage the pejorative is used for both genders
Don’t mess with gas prices or people get upset. Or Texas, I guess
