Young, working-class and minority men fled the GOP in droves in last week’s elections, amid high prices fueled by Trump’s tariffs, the war in Iran, and concerns about AI’s impact on the job market .. Latino men also swung sharply toward Democrats, as the administration’s hard-line immigration crackdown became an increasingly contentious political issue .. Latino men, who went from backing Trump by 2 points in 2024 to favoring Democrats by 37 points in 2026.
As a follow up to Karmi’s post above, here’s a very interesting article giving some POSSIBLE reasons for the statistically anomalous 20 million increase in Democrat votes last week. I know Neo abhors any idea of conspiracy in voting fraud, but this is worth a read:
Tariffs didn’t raise prices much. As for gas prices, we are now 8 days from the election and gas prices here in my part of CO have dropped over a dollar. Tell me why that is, with say collusion. Do you really think young Latino are thinking of AI and jobs? Give me a break.
Ah yes, Monkey Wards. Use to buy a lot of things there.
The NPA still tries to shape the narrative.
I thought it was the Republicans are the “white” party?
om = ad hominem is a perfect example of why the Republican party can’t break outta a basic tie with a party of Child Butchers. Heck, he recently didn’t even know who a protege of Charlie Kirk was.
I thought it was the Republicans are the “white” party?
That’s another issue against the Republican party, and thanks for reminding humble NPA me, om = ad hominem.
Yeah, 2028 is looking like AOC becomes first woman president…
NPA continues to show his infinity humility and wisdom.
IIRC he was pushing the “white” angle, and what from orifice he pulled the TPA, Charlie Kirk linkage from is below anyone’s belt.
Now he is fearing Donkey Chompers not the Little Man from Arab-Americastan?
physicsguy’s link to The American Thinker is much more concerning than any flatus from NPA.

I am open to the idea of fraud, and have been for many years, if the evidence is convincing. There is no question in my mind that Democrats will commit fraud if they can and if they think it’s necessary. However, did you read my post on the election results in New Hampshire? Absolutely enormous swing to Democrats, typical of just about everywhere else, and almost zero possibility of fraud. If you haven’t read it, please do.
What I think is that the electorate is highly fickle and highly susceptible to leftist propaganda, as well as highly inclined to be dissatisfied with the right due to the Gramscian march through the schools.
Young legal mexicans are all for deporting illegals who compete for jobs. Deporting long term “illegals’ who may have started citizenship procedure but could not afford, or postponed completion , as opposed to newly arrived and gangsters and other criminals is not popular.
Has Perception become Reality?
Looking for influences in the midterms and ran across this clip of Van Jones talking about the American Accountability Network, that engage in a subtle influence campaign on social media prior to the midterms.
32.5 million people hit on Instagram every day. 88.8 million hits on Twitter X every single day. And 185 million Facebook hits every single day…
He claims these were people doing the influencing, but given the numbers and the small budget of the AAN, it was most likely bots. The total budget of the AAN directed toward the project was only $100,000.
If those numbers are true, could this sort of propaganda campaign had a measurable impact on the midterms?
Are we in a mass delusion event where people are this susceptible?

No.
It was too early two weeks ago, but with E2006 behind us, the 2028 Presidential Election has now begun. If we wait until the last minute to think about it, we’ll end up with another Establishment candidate banging on about free markets, or a Buchanite isolationist, or someone else who can’t win in November.
There are parallels between now and 2006. After 2006, instead of addressing the problem, the GOP doubled down on what had gotten them screwed in 2006, i.e. amnesty and open borders and free trade and so on. Dubya made a third run at Comprehensive Amnesty, and once again the GOP was waging war against itself as a result. Then, as that failed, the Establishment rigged things so that the only options for 2008 were Giuliani, Romney, or McCain. Again, all pro-Amnesty, ‘free’ traders, and globalists. Net result: Obama.
Been there, done that. They’ll do it again if they can, too. We just saw the same failed leadership team reinstalled in the Senate because that’s what the lobbyists want. They’ll try to drag us back to Bushism everywhere if they can.
So far, Trump appears to be mostly doing what Dubya should have done at this time in 2006. But it’s early yet, and we need to keep the pressure on starting now if we don’t want a replay of 2008.
HC68:
ChasesEagles may have been reacting to Karmi’s “prediction” that Republicans are so screwed up that AOC will be elected as the first female POTUS in 2028.
How a NPA would be so humble to make such a long term assertion is fantastic, as usual.
Many of us are already thinking of 2028 and the JD Vance (Tuckerite) curse.
There’s nothing new about that, by the way. Thirty years ago, Dick Morris advised Bill Clinton after 1994 that it was usually impossible to change the electorate’s mind on an issue (at least in the short term), but it was often possible to choose what issues the election would be waged upon.
The GOP is at a natural disadvantage on economic issues, because of history and because market economics in unintuitive. When the issue is taxes, the GOP can complete on economics, but when they are perceived as defending the upper class against the working class, they are fighting uphill.
So, on economic issues, the best bet is to wedge the Dems.
Right now, the migrant caravans coming north give the GOP an opening. The Dems want to let them in. That could be weaponized. The trouble is that the GOP economic ‘conservatives’ and the business lobby also want to let them in.
Rally the base with defense of gun rights, abortion opposition, and nationalism. Wedge the opposition on issues like immigration and identity. Use immigration competition for jobs and wage pressure as an affordability argument.
It’s not rocket science. It is, however, almost diametrically opposite to the natural inclinations of the business wing ‘conservatives’ like Lankford and Curtis.
Something about businessmen selling rope to Marxists who are building gallows in plain sight comes to mind …..

Fair. If so, my apologies to CE.
One advantage the GOP does have is that right now, the Dems don’t really have any naturally strong Presidential candidates to rally around. They have several who appeal to a segment of their base, but nobody who is generally appealing. We might.
We need to be thinking about it.
In 2015, the Establishment had lined up to make sure the Inevitable Jeb would be nominated (and of course go on to lose), Ted Cruz shocked everyone by coming out of nowhere in 2015 and raising 30 million in two days when he announced, because so many Republicans so desperately did not want Jeb.
We want to avoid giving the Lankford wing a chance to try that again.

Yep. Lenin was many things, most of them bad, but he was no fool and he read the Western business community all too well.
This has been an ideological weakness of the American Right for decades. The Ayn Randian ‘heroic visionary entrepreneur’ fantasy. It has fixated the Right the way the Left fixates on ‘heroic technocrats’ (especially doctors and laywers). When Romney won the nomination in 2012, he started sounding like he thought he was the protagonist of an Ayn Rand story, banging on about ‘makers and takers’.
One trouble has always been that the electorate isn’t interested in Ayn Rand.
The other trouble is that successful entrepreneurs and businessmen are rarely very much like Ayn Rand’s characters. Often, they’re obsessive, not even looking at or thinking about anything but their own project. That’s part of the key to their success, but it also means that they can be totally unaware of the big picture.
Thus, we see small business owners agitate for mass immigration, looking at the short-term profit statement, and blissfully unaware that they are empowering people who want to confiscate their wealth and often worse.
Or we see business argue that they should be allowed to set up ‘sensitive’ facilities in potentially hostile countries. They’ll argue that it gives American power, because we can always pull the plug. But if it becomes needful to pull the plug, they suddenly start screaming to not disrupt their revenue flow.
In the recent election, we saw an example of the business wing short-sightedness in action in Missouri.
I remember commenting on this last year. The voters had passed a sick leave mandate by referrendum. It was not a constitutional amendment, just a referrendum, and so the legislature could reverse it. Which supermajority GOP legislature did, citing the needs of business. They weren’t even smart enough to come up with a high-sounding pretext.
Well, this last election the voters did amend the State constitution, via Amendment 6. Now a voter referrendum can only be overturned by the legislature with an 80% (!) majority in both houses, plus a second referendum.
The opposition to Amendment 6 was orchestrated on the principle that the legislature needed review power over referendums to protect business interests.
Yes, they still couldn’t come up with a plausible-sounding pretext. So they opposed it on the grounds of business interests, and it won handily. The net result of the GOP majority in the State legislature repealing that sick leave referendum was to have the legislature stripped of some powers.
Way to go, Business Wing.
(The GOP also lost their supermajorities in the Missouri legislature. I’m not saying the sick leave fiasco was the sole reason, but it contributed.)
I don’t bet money on anything—so don’t really know odds, but do understand the “Chance %” & “Odds %”. Kalshi has John Ossoff at 18% (he snuck right up there!), JD Vance at 13%, and AOC at 9.9%.
John Ossoff might be the DEM’s White Obama…
My father managed a competitor to our town’s Woolworth’s, a small 3-store chain owned by 2 brothers, I never did ask how they met him, possibly in the Army. It was a good job and supported our family of 4 kids, although mother went back to teaching school when the baby sister went to first grade (no free kindergarten for public schools in the 50s and 60s). It was fun to shop there (yes, Daddy made us pay); worked occasionally as we got older; and got to explore the basement “warehouse” with its locked room holding the chocolates and other candy.
I noticed the ads in the video sold items for considerably more than a dime after FWW got started and business was booming. Whatever price markup he used appears to have been profitable, but I suspect the major draw was convenient one-stop shopping for numerous small but necessary items that the fancier department stores didn’t handle.
The video was right about the decline and then disappearance of most of downtown shopping, but Woolworth’s showed the new suburban mall discounters that they could make money, leading IMO to the rise of the Dollar Stores of this era.
In response to the video shared at the top of this post, I figure I might as well share this one for a song you may or may not know about a Woolworth’s store. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2GK462XnRjQ
I don’t totally buy this, but think it’s an interesting analysis:
“Texas is not a Red State – It Never Was – Here’s Why”
Why was/is Florida somewhat immune in 2026?
Well, because the wealth of the powerful people in Florida politics is tied to the U.S. stock market. Positive gains in banking, finance, Big Tech and asset management expanded wealth portfolios. The FL power interests are older people, with deep and significant financial holdings. They are no longer dependent on govt fraud, stealing govt money, or industrial use of illegal alien labor at a rate that creates risk.
If you want to turn Florida blue, collapse the stock market and destroy the portfolios of the wealthy people who control political perspectives in Florida. The FL power interests don’t steal money, but they benefit from govt bailouts of failed financial enterprises. The wealth of that set of power interests is not connected the same way.
TX and GA are directly reliant on illegal alien activity for their affluence. Target immigration and get political opposition. CA, MN, IL and NY are directly reliant on govt fraud for their affluence. Target fraud and get political opposition.
The correct prism to determine “Red” or “Blue” is not to look at surface ideology (conservative or socialist), but rather to look at what creates the wealth of the powerful people who control politics and thereby control the ideology.
I have fond memories of eating at the lunch counter, maybe a grilled cheese and fries, in the back corner of a Woolworths in Hollywood in the 1960s with my mom.
I don’t buy the ConservativeTreehouse assessment of the Texas economy. Is the oil and gas/petrochemical industry dependent on illegal aliens, the tech industry, Tesla?
Georgia I’m not so sure of. Georgia (Fulton County) has quite a recent history of shady/fraud electioneering.
The assessment of fraud in blue states fits with media reports, particularly the urban areas. Which are also havens for illegals (supported by fraudulent NGO/charities).

As I read this comment where you describe your father’s store, I had the thought that the absent Woolworths had been replaced in our day with the various Dollar General et al. stores, often in suburban and semi-rural locations. Unfortunately they usually seem somewhat disorderly or disordered (congested, hard to find some items), compared to my memory of Woolworth stores, so I end up with a sort of Hillbilly Elegy feeling when buying something in them.
But at the end of the comment I saw you had already had the same thought … so great minds, etc. 🙂
Selfy, I had a similar thought as OM about the fossil fuel contribution to TX economic growth and overall prosperity. Perhaps that is now overshadowed by other industries and high tech, but even in TX (as well as AZ, CA, and other locations where conservative organizations hold conferences for well off potential donors) I gather there are sufficient investment bases that FL is not unique.
And FL has a moderately large Hispanic population [which may be mostly* legal aliens, naturalized citizens, or native born persons] but possibly weighted to Cuban vs. Mexican groups [which don’t always share the same political outlook].
*Since DeSantis has worked well with ICE to deny FL being or becoming a sanctuary state.
I still find in annoying to be in a FL store where customers and/or clerks are speaking Spanish to each other. [Multi-lingual capability makes sense in medical facilities or transportation hubs, but not so much eleswhere – especially at voting locales and on ballots!]
If you want to be or to become American, then speak “American”!
