The US House seat vacated by Marjorie Taylor Greene when she stopped drinking the cultist Kool-Aid, which represents the reddest district in the state of Georgia (Trump won it in 2024 by 37 points), again voted for a Republican in yesterday's special election. But the real news is this: the Republican candidate won by only 12 points, which is the biggest swing away from Republicans of any US House special election since the Turd Reich dropped back into the White House in January 2025 like a giant, steaming taco shart.

Meanwhile in Wisconsin liberal Chris Taylor cruised to a 20-point victory that lands her in the state supreme court as part of a 5-2 liberal majority.
Republicans, still in denial, are inventing fairy tales about how, for some reason, Republican voters just can't make it to the polls in springtime now, and everything will be different in the fall. In case that doesn't stick, another tale is that all the money was on the side of the liberal candidate, though of course no one cares to explain why that would be.

Wisconsin also had a supreme court election last spring, almost exactly a year ago, so some worthwhile comparisons could be made. In that election the liberal won by "only" 10 points instead of 20, despite Elon Musk pouring an enormous amount of money—over $25 million—in support of the conservative candidate. Like DOGE, tanking Tesla, and breaking up with his boyfriend Donald, it was another one of Musk's abysmal failures in 2025.

@Soothfast saidThere doesn't seem to be any way the Dems don't win big in the Fall. Something like 20-30 seats in the House and a possible Senate flip.

Although I am a Republican, I think a moderate Democratic win in November is the best outcome. If the Republican do pull off a miracle and hold both houses, the groundswell of anti-Trump sentiment will continue to grow and the Dems will win big in 2028. If the Dems win in 2026, they'll probably F it up and turn the next 2 years into a circus of investigations. Trump won't be able to do anything legislatively, which is another good thing.
For 2 years, we'll have no real legislation and the federal government will be Trump trying to rule through executive fiat and Congress devolving into a goose gabble of investigations and irrelevant partisan bickering.
Then, in 2028, the country will get to decide which way it wants to go for the future. Hopefully one or both parties can nominate somebody sane, for a change.
@sh76 saidI'm a bit skeptical; the generic polls generally have the Dems up 5 to 6% suggesting a top end of maybe 230 even if the gerrymandering breaks even.https://www.realclearpolling.com/polls/state-of-the-union/generic-congressional-vote

And there's a lot of time before November.
@no1marauder saidIn the "old" days, a gain of 15 seats against a 6th year opposing party President would have been seen as mildly disappointing.

I guess the hyper-partisanship of today makes huge swings harder.

@wildgrass saidNow all Republicans are concerned about is tip-toeing around and toadying to Dear Leader, lest he single one of them out for a schoolyard-level excoriation on his downward-spiraling Truth Social network.
