'It's coming for you': Analyst reveals 'terrible news for red America'

Tuesday night's elections across several states delivered overwhelmingly positive news for Democrats. But one columnist is also directly warning MAGA Republicans that the lopsided victories for diverse candidates signifies that the GOP is badly losing its culture war.

Magary went on to argue that he felt no sympathy for MAGA, as last year he "watched as American voters handed the country over to a criminal enterprise headed by a broken television set" and has since "spent the near entirety of 2025 watching that enterprise eat its way through this countrys federal workforce, its military, its legacy media and even the White House itself." He observed that "woke was felled by this onslaught, and outright bigotry had become the new order."
"What we DO want is to be left the fk alone. Contrary to what Ted Cruz might tell you, thats what woke does," he wrote. "Woke lets you drive around town without the threat of a cop pulling you over to gun you down. Woke lets you be gender fluid without an emergency PTA meeting springing up outside your door. Woke lets you go to college without entering into a modern sharecropping agreement. It lets children read, lets every citizen be able to vote without a fuss, leaves the original recipe for Tylenol intact, and endeavors to keep our air and water clean. Woke, in other words, is good."
"You conservatives tried to kill woke, only for it to mount an impressive comeback," he added. "I hope that leaves you triggered, and I hope no one offers you sympathy for it."

Because they dont have a life and enjoy being easily instructed to hate. Thats their life. Very convenient for those orchestrating the instruction. Its as if it were a master plan. Decades in the making. But now coming to an end ever slowly.

The best part, imo:
"You conservatives tried to kill woke, only for it to mount an impressive comeback," he added. "I hope that leaves you triggered, and I hope no one offers you sympathy for it."
Russel Vought (christian nationalist) took the hundred year old term black folks had used to keep each other "awake" to what endangers their liberty, and he intentionally perverted its meaning as something bad.
Vought is losing his propaganda culture war and its lingo ("weaponize government" to "investigate the investigators" and end "woke."
Americans are woke enough to know better and voted accordingly.
Yup, I had to get that part in.
So glad you forwarded that to your son. Also, a huge congratulations to him for winning his re-election bid in Silver City! You must be so proud of him.

this afternoon. Talked to a lot of people today about current affairs.
Oh and figured out who the one yelling at me this morning was, edited my post talking about it.
I'm ready to get back on the MIRT team.

There were outstanding gains by Democrats yesterday. That includes a good, solid variety to represent our party -- actually, our country. Here in upstate New York, including rural contests, Democrats won seats that were long considered "safe" for republicans.

(12,436 posts)... when Texas redistricted, I wonder how much they relied on their so-called MAGA realignment with latinoamericanos, young white men, and other key democraphics? I hope someone does an analysis of that map against numbers modified by the swing back to Democrats in those demographics
