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.
When Republicans keep saying things like “total abortion ban”, yeah, we get that impression.
edit: fucking Texas is trying to make it illegal to drive to get around their abortion ban
Show us your PAPERS!!
Sometimes I wish we could go back to when they were mainly known for open beverage containers, but it was pretty fucked then too.
Every time I see Texas in the news I say a little prayer for the man who my Greatx4 (5?) Grandfather, who definitely had some looser morals around things like murder and escaping prison twice, shot. If it weren’t for their unfortunate ass, my family might still be in that awful place.
Yeah Ohio made a 10 year old go to fucking Indiana for an abortion. That’s part of why we legalized abortion
Not a violent person but I genuinely want to break things whenever I’m reminded of that. Just unbelievable from every direction, from people who preach about caring for children.
Republicans have never cared about children.
Classic stuff. He was so dead on accurate for then and now, and even he probably wouldn’t believe where things are today. We would get some epic rants.
edit: man, it’s hard to believe he’s been gone 15 years. The shit that’s happened since then.
edit2: I was just trying to work out how it’s possible it’s been only 15 years, then remembered that Trump’s presidency only took up 4 of them LOL
Unfortunately we still have a ways to go to protect our children from republicans. We need to ban all instances of underage marriage. I don’t give two shits if your parents are ok with it. Unless some evidence comes out that it’s actually beneficial for the child long term I don’t want to allow 16 year olds to get married.
In addition to that, most child marriages are young girls married to men twice their age.
Republicans are scaring women just fine on their own by making is less safe to be a woman
Fucking Texas made it so that someone that presents male, whom all of their classroom mates referred to as he, can’t participate in a high school play as a male character.
“Don’t mess with Texas, because we’re insecure about a lot of things.”
In Texas, everything is bigger! Except the dicks!
And the IQs!
I could cheerfully never once hear about this issue again.
Oh hun, you don’t need to blame Democrats for that. You’re spreading that message quite clearly yourselves.
Yep. It turns out that a great many people don’t fall for their bullshit gaslighting.
ETA: Also, I think everyone given a chance to interact with Klannity should always ask when he’s going to be waterboarded.
