Got two words for any Democrats looking for a model of how to beat back maga weirdness:

Abigail Spanberger

Moderation, pragmatism, active engagement with your constituents.

And it probably helped that her bizarro opponent seemed to believe that rape victims can't get pregnant. 

Also nice to see the bouncer toss the Oz lizard.  And generally seeing Trump's kingmaker touch erode.

The average seat reclamation by the opposing party, in House, is 29 in a midterm.  Now looks like the GOP will barely get single digits.  Not a miracle (which might have caused Yankguy to swoon) but points to the revulsion of Independents and moderates for the MAGA extremists.

Florida?  Yep, voter suppression and fear mongering works!  That's why they do it, folks.

OC, correct me if I am wrong, but wasnt the FLA Gov race a contest between
two Republicans?
Calling FLA red for the next millennium seems a little hasty, No?

Charlie Crist is a Democrat.  Changed parties a few years ago.

When the choice for voters is GOP or GOP Lite they always choose the real thing.

Many more trump loving leaches like Red and Kid will die off before we gather to vote again.

Republican high water mark.

Now the orcs have culminated, they cannot be destroyed or driven off too soon.

GOP should appoint DeSantis as its candidate for President in 2024...and run with "free healthcare for all Americans".

DeSantis is more likely to run on "slaughter illegal aliens to provide food for the wealthy" then on free universal health care.

Unless it's Utah.

But seriously, yes.  And congratulations on your new (!).  Very sporty.

When he was assigned to read Jonathan Swift at Yale, DeSantis thought that "A Modest Proposal" was a policy paper that Swift had submitted to the House of Commons.

Very Arnold Toynbee ish.  That would be cool.  I can already see a sort of Greta Thunberg cohort hustling onto the stage.

Moon was red two days ago.  Today it's blue, because I'm agreeing with Marco Rubio....

How do we get 50 million down to the size of a reasonable bathtub?

Yes, atheists seem to rule the American landscape today.
Climate and Woke seem to be the new religions...and Christian-bashing the new sport.

Without the Daily Telegraph and Sky News the leftists would be allowed to just do whatever  they like, unopposed.
