If you have been thinking that the mid-terms are over, done, complete, I have news for you. They aren’t.
They aren’t until Jan. 3rd 2027 when the new congress is legally seated. This means that these next two months are open season as far as Trump and his MAGA supporters go.
They have already been trying to sow confusion and doubt into the election results. They want you to believe that the election was rigged in the favor of Democrats. They post things like the total vote count exceeds the number of registered voters. They are distorting news articles making it appear that Democrats are seeking vengeance and not accountability. They are also prepared to point to Democrats and blame them for the cuts found in the Big Beautiful Bill that didn’t become effective until after the mid-terms and the new year. Don’t fall for any of this.
We’ve known that if the mid-terms ended in overwhelming numbers there wouldn’t be anything the MAGA right could do. But that’s not stopping them from trying.
Meanwhile, Democrats are already targeting people to impeach and investigate. The follow through will occur after Jan. 3rd. But you can also count on another thing. Democrats are going to reverse the worst of the programs that have been cut that affect regular citizens. You’ll see a restoration of SNAP benefits and Medicaid funding for example. Hopefully much more.
For the next two to six months we need to keep our eyes and ears open. We need to stay united and firm. And we need to give our newly elected representatives time and support to begin to chart a new course toward a brighter future for all of us.
A really good examination of the stunning results of Tuesday's mid-term elections.
"The 2026 midterm elections marked a revolution in American politics."
"The historic nature of this election cannot be overstated. It is a rejection of Trump, who insisted voters should imagine he was on the ballot. But more than that, it is a rejection of the Republican ideology that has driven American politics since the 1980s: the idea that some people are better than others and have the right to rule."
"People across the country, organized in No Kings rallies, along overpasses, in webcasts, and in everything from political clubs to knitting communities, have come together to stand against the extraordinary corruption of the Trump regime, to oppose Trump’s rejection of constitutional limits in favor of autocratic power to declare tariffs and start wars, to demand the government address the needs of Americans, and to insist on the rule of law. Yesterday, they voted."
