US Midterms

 

The US Midterm elections have been a full spectrum wipe-out for the GOP. To begin with a background story, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/10/re-elect-uap-congress.html, voters have generally been kind to UAP Congress. Luna, Burlison, Burchett and Moskowitz have all kept their seats. Lauren Boebert has been defeated by her Democrat rival Eileen Laubacher after an extremely close race. At one point the two were within a fraction of a point apart with just five percent of the vote left to count. Boebert's lawyer is filing a legal challenge and there will be an automatic recount anyway under Colorado electoral law. Interestingly Mike Turner lost his re-election bid for Ohio's 10th Congressional District. He was defeated by a political newcomer with the amazing name of Ms Knickerbocker... Looks like Lockheed-Martin don't need him anymore. Did he expect gratitude for his subservience? Can't say I'm gutted. However, if I were American I would not be a single issue voter anyway. There's more to life than aliens. It's normal in American political dynamics for the opposition to gain an advantage in the Midterms, but this swing is exceptional. It is a massive landslide against the Trump administration. He has lost seven senators and forty-two House representatives. In the Gubernatorials, the Republicans lost five states. Kansas now has its first Democrat senator since 1932. Texas' purple hue has now gone distinctly blue as the state got a new Democrat senator and governor along with an array of representatives.

Donald Trump has nobody to blame for this but himself. He was a president who had everything and threw it all away. He once said that Boris Johnson was "Britain's Trump", well now Trump is America's Bojo, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2022/07/boris-is-finished.html. He came back into the White House last year facing a number of challenges; to get the economy under control and reduce the US' notoriously high cost of living, to "build the wall" and stop mass immigration, and to keep the country out of foreign wars. He also pledged to improve democracy and address issues such as the Epstein files and other conspiracy theories. These were all promises he made and his voter base expected him to keep them. To begin with Trump 2.0 looked good. He met the majority of his targets during his first few months, see the background link below, but then he suddenly and radically changed. His resolve collapsed on all his core issues. He ceased to be a populist and merged seamlessly with the establishment. I know backslappers are going to tell me: "He was always establishment, Ben; but you were too naiiiiiiiiiive to see it! We were so streetwise and superior to everybody else that we could!" I disagree for reasons I've already detailed, but it doesn't really matter. We all agree on what he is now. So many people thought Trump was the beginning of a glorious new age. High fuel prices, flag draped coffins and sleazily suits were a part of history soon to be forgotten. Trump has failed the American people and has betrayed those who believed in him. His deceit will have repercussions across the entire world. What is in store for Trump during the next two years, the remainder of his presidential term? Well, unfortunately for him he will be something of a lame duck. The United States is a far more honest, democratic and functional federation than the European Union, and it has constitutional safeguards to prevent the rise of a dictator. Without the support of the legislative branch, the executive's power is very limited, even with all the Supreme Court judges the president has on his side. The Democratic Party now has the power to wreak the revenge they have been longing for, along with their Republican never-Trumper allies. Trump is going to be impeached again, along with more than one member of his cabinet. The American people have delivered a major "F.U." to the president and none are louder than those from the people who used to support him. Generally speaking the future right now is pretty unpredictable, but it's not going to be rosy for the orange man.
