Let's just say, for the sake of argument, that maybe it's possible that I've been not-entirely correct about something at some point in my life. So what?

This was not what I expected.  Even if Republicans lost, which is typical results for the mid-terms, I did not think it would be this big of a loss.  I don't think the final results have come out yet but its possible Congress will be able to override his vetoes so "I have a phone and a pen" won't work as a defense.  They'll be constantly attacking him anyway so he doesn't have a lot of options.  It's like we're back in October 2024 where the left was confident they'd stay in power forever, or 2016 when Hillary was inevitable.  They're still here.

I'm convinced the elections were stolen, there's no way those Democrat candidates could win over large numbers of people.  Even worse is that reportedly it was a lot of Republicans voting for them.  If that's actually true, they'd have to be mindless puppets, there's just no other way it could work.  Sitting out the election is one thing but going for the 'pro-trans, pro-abortion, open borders, high taxes' candidates because Trump is a bit annoying?  That's not what a rational person would do, another reason I suspect the votes were changed to all read pro-Dem.

Like him or not, Trump insisted on being at the center of everything so that means he gets the blame for the results.  Which of course he isn't accepting, another reason he's already moving into the 'past tense.'  We saw this with Obama in 2016 and GWB after the 2006 mid-terms.  That doesn't detract from what Trump has accomplished and it is remotely possible that there's still some plan underway but for the time being, we need to start detaching from him.  If he has more accomplishments, great, he'll deserve full credit, but he was supposed to prevent this from happening.

I've barely looked at any social media, I really don't want to put up with the left at this point.  In just the last two years, they've proven how insane they are and now they're back like nothing has changed, except that they want revenge.  That's not counting the four years before that, or the four years of Trump 1.0, or the eight years of Obama, or the eight years of fighting GWB, or the eight years of being set up by Clinton, and that's just covering my adult life.  The more you prove that voters deliberately chose to keep going this direction despite voting for Trump two years ago, the less they look like sensible human beings.

So now I'm going back to just saying we need to go on strike.  Get back-up food and supplies, make connection with others of like minds.  I'm not writing Trump off, he's demonstrated too much ability to just be ignored, but it's probably best to act like he's off the table now.  I only see two possible options, both are similar.  One is that Iran was behind these election results and he's actually set up a trap for them, or for the globalist leftist elites.  Probably not but we should get used to dealing with fantasy.  Our new rulers will require it.  Trump has never made Democrats tired of winning.

□ [“Trump admits Iran war hurt Republicans but stands by it"]

This is one of those things that makes me think the elections were indeed stolen and probably with as much help as Iran could offer.  The gas prices didn't help but they were just as bad under Biden and didn't hurt him.  He wasn't even facing a long-standing American enemy.  You can argue that Trump shouldn't have gotten into this but somebody had to and he deserves credit for this.  I don't think it hurt the elections much, especially given the alternative was leftists who support the mullahs anyway.

The good move was that we don't have troops on the ground, the regime is being strangled and there wasn't even news about it.  The cost in gas prices didn't make everything else skyrocket in price so the whole was was as minimal as possible on our side.  The down side is that Muslims know how to hold out despite great pressure.  Even worse, now they know leftist supporters will soon take power so they have less to worry about.  Trump can still do what Bill Clinton did with Bosnia and Obama did with Libya and Syria but will that really matter?

As to Iran helping the election theft, I believe it but there's no evidence.  I've heard one report of "guards" at Michigan voting sites telling people 'if you aren't voting for El-Sayed, don't bother coming in.'  It's believable but even if it's true, I'm not sure anything will be done with that.  Iran has long understood how to influence the Muslim world and, by extension, the infidel.  They haven't won and their regime may soon be gone but the threat is worse than ever.

□ [“Senate Majority Leader John Thune Releases Self-Congratulatory Statement After Midterms"]

It's said that this has been one of the least-productive congresses of all time so of course he rushes out to take credit for that and vow to keep fighting leftists.  The ones that will be taking power because he didn't stop them before.  I don't really know if the SAVE America act was that big a deal but he certainly did what he could to keep from passing that.  He even sent individual Senators in during vacations to make sure it wasn't officially 'out of session' so Trump couldn't make any appointments without them.  But *now* he's ready to fight.

I still don't think a lot of Republicans were voting to give Democrats power but if there were, this is who those RINOs really are.  January is his 30th anniversary in Congress, over twenty years in the Senate, and this is the high-point of his career, doing nothing as much as possible and then stopping Trump whenever he can.  Thune isn't the real problem, it's everyone like him, as voters or as politicians.

If there's a bright side to this election and that shows how low I need to get to find anything, it helps to expose these people as the 'controlled opposition' they are.  They might be relevant as useful idiots but otherwise must be ignored as much as possible.  This is why I keep saying we need to just go on strike to remove these people from our lives.  They'll play their games but we don't need to take part.  Now we have to find out how many people will actually trust these election results.

I'm trying to see what conspiracy theories I can come up with to explain that this wasn't *really* a massive failure.  It's actually part of the long-range plan Trump 2.0 has been implementing and now the left is caught in the final trap.  This obviously isn't going to get very far but gimme a break, I have to find some way to cope with what we're up against.  I'm sure I'll give up on that soon since little-if-any of it will come to pass.

The first possibility that occurs to me is the leftist infighting.  Normally they're good at holding back on that, at least until they've actually seized power.  And then it's usually hidden behind closed doors so they all look like a uniform elite telling us what's best.  But Democrats have done that badly for the last two years and now with goal right in front of them, they may not be able to hold back any longer.  They've openly advocated for purges and prison camps, it would be very easy to add fellow-Democrats who disagree to that list.

They also need to come up with excuses to punish anyone who disagrees.  I assume there will be a sequel to their 'January 6' skit, pretending to be Republicans who are pretending to be violent because they pretend to not comply with election results.  Dems have been living on that as the most horrific moment of their lives, even though a dozen men with guns could have done much more damage in much less time.  So they'll need to fake that again, giving them more reasons to fall apart as a group and expose their power-lust to the public.

They'll also need foreign help.  This will lead to more internal conflict - if China disagrees with the EU or the UN - but it will also mean they aren't making any actual decisions.  My theory is that Iran is the leader on these stolen elections but it doesn't actually help them in the war.  If the Iranian people rise up tomorrow, Democrats lose the source of their leadership and everyone else has to find a way to make-do, leading to more conflict.  They'll need to stay tied to foreign influence because otherwise they'd look at what's going on and start asking 'why are we trying to destroy what we're in charge of?'

Then there's my theory that our elites are all part of a demon-worshipping cult.  If they were born rich and famous, that's all they've known throughout their lives and if they started poor and became rich, that cult is how they got there.  I think that's what Trump has been fighting in both administrations and I suspect he knows that.  I'll leave out any conspiracy theory that he's been part of the cult all along - that would be even more depressing - which leads me to wonder if he's actually taken over, at least in some relevant ways.

The main example is how China and Russia have not been fighting him as you'd expect.  At least in public, their opposition has been minimal even when he causes damage to what BRICS is trying to do.  Then there's the way the US and European left has just gone bonkers, like they can't understand what orders they're given but need to do something, no matter how stupid.  So, based on this theory, if Trump has actually achieved control over the cult - and I'll just say he's setting it up for destruction because the alternative is still depressing - then these newly-elected Democrats might be very surprised by what they see as they prepare to enter office.

There might be a sudden wave of resignations and suicides.  Or just rushing out to tell the public everything because what else could they do?  They scream what they just learned about the Epstein files, that everything they've heard about Trump was fake.  Someone just did a 'control F' to put his name over Michelle Obama and Nancy Pelosi.  The truth is right there, everybody who had seen it was fine with that.  Then the new Democrats have to be taken away as insane or a lot more people start asking WTF?

Again, I'm not expecting any of these theories to come to pass but I do suspect there's something in the way of truth to them.  That's why I've been thinking about this stuff for so long.  I like to tell myself either I'm right or even if I'm wrong, it'll push others in the right direction.  It helps get me through the night and we're going to need a lot of reasons to keep getting through the night.
