There is nothing in politics more vulnerable than a confident Republican base. Time and again we’ve seen the GOP with what they perceived to be leads going into an election, only to be shocked by the results. On October 20, 2012, Mitt Romney was ahead of Barack Obama by 6 points in the polls. That changed very, very quickly.
Instead of bragging about the coming “red wave,” Republicans should be acting like they’re on the verge of massive defeat. Some will argue that confidence is important in driving fundraising and voter turnout, and in most years I would agree. But we are faced with a massively emotional voting population right now who are feeling the economic heat more than most have felt in their lifetimes. That means that whoever they blame for their problems will be who they vote against. Conventional wisdom says they’ll blame Democrats since they’re in control of the House, Senate, and White House.
Throw conventional wisdom out the door. Here are three reasons why:
Yes, the polls lie
Anyone who’s read my work over the past few years knows I am not a fan of polling. I believe polls are used more to manipulate sentiment than to report on it. Currently, the polls are showing Democrats making up some of the ground they lost in recent months.
Considering I said the polls lie, why would I use this as an example of why we need to be concerned? Because reality today may not reflect what they’re saying, but clearly that’s the direction they want people to think they’re going. We don’t have to trust polls to appreciate the manipulation they’re currently being used for to promote their chosen narrative.
Never underestimate gaslighting and propaganda
Gaslighting works on voters. Propaganda is powerful in shaping voter sentiment. Add in a third component — low-information voter ignorance — and it’s easy to see that we may not be in as good of a position as many think we are.
Corporate media and Big Tech are extremely powerful. They shape the mindsets and even the worldviews of millions of Americans. One can argue that the only reason the Democrat Party hasn’t imploded from their massive failures in recent years is because corporate media and Big Tech have propped them up. The same can hold true come Election Day.
They will cheat
The 2020 election was stolen. As of today, nobody has been held accountable and only a handful of measures have been put in place to prevent the same type of theft from happening this year.
If we are to have our wins recorded by a small margin, we will have to win by a large margin. They will already have a certain percentage point advantage over many Republican candidates before a single legitimate vote is cast. This, perhaps more than the previous two reasons to get fired up, is what could make the difference between winning and losing.

What Would You Do If Pharmacies Couldn’t Provide You With Crucial Medications or Antibiotics?
The medication supply chain from China and India is more fragile than ever since Covid. The US is not equipped to handle our pharmaceutical needs. We’ve already seen shortages with antibiotics and other medications in recent months and pharmaceutical challenges are becoming more frequent today.
Our partners at Jase Medical offer a simple solution for Americans to be prepared in case things go south. Their “Jase Case” gives Americans emergency antibiotics they can store away while their “Jase Daily” offers a wide array of prescription drugs to treat the ailments most common to Americans.
They do this through a process that embraces medical freedom. Their secure online form allows board-certified physicians to prescribe the needed drugs. They are then delivered directly to the customer from their pharmacy network. The physicians are available to answer treatment related questions.
Sadly I don’t trust the GOP to respond effectively largely because a LOT of the GOP probably works for the “other guy” and will sabotage the rest. We are sadly in great peril.
There is a lot of argument about whether Stalin said it , but ‘ it does not matter who votes , but who counts their votes ‘ is attributed to him .
Since not much has changed to prevent election rigging why does anyone believe that intelligent, honest, pro-america candidates are going to be elected this time around? Crooks and charlatans will steal the election yet again as our country continues circling the drain.
Glad to see this headline…
Anyone who thinks having the votes for a “red wave” means anything is out of their fricking mind.
Let’s put it this way… if “whomever” is pulling the levers behind the scenes for our Zombie Pres and VP is afraid they will lose power… they would rather start a nuclear conflict, than lose in the mid-terms.
We should EXPECT 1.) WAR, or 2.) PANDEMIC bullcrap or 3.) BOTH, just in time to screw up the entire public, come November.
COUNT. ON. IT.
the 3 reasons are the dems cheat, dems cheat, dems cheat. ITs not complicated. The reason Trump can’t and won’t be reelected is because he announced he is coming for the deep state and the RINOs who are in charge of the states where they cheated to make sure he wasn’t reelected are still in charge.
Trump DID win by a large margin. A HUGE margin. The Left cheated their way into “winning” anyway. If they plan on committing the same massive fraud in November that they committed in 2020–and why wouldn’t they?–it won’t matter how many on the Right vote.
Aside from that, I suspect this thing has gone too far for voting to get us out if it. We’re relying on politicians to save us from a war of survival between right and wrong, good and evil. I know that may seem over-the-top to many, but I don’t think it is. Either way, I guess come November, we’ll see.
As always, I leave room to be wrong.
