What will be the GOP's message in the 2026 midterms?

[YDB95]

Still haven't seen a single suggestion in this thread that would win the Pubs any swing votes.

They think they don't need to attract any. I'm more than happy to have them believe that!

When elections were held in Iraq, the Sunni were astonished at getting fewer votes than the Shi'ite parties -- because the Sunni BELIEVED they were a majority of the population, but they weren't.

A similar surprise is in store.

Trump must 'reverse course' on key policy or risk becoming even more 'toxic' to voters

Yea he might really upset the people that hate him and were never going to vote for him anyhow if he doesn't open the borders and import millions of violent terrorist and cartel thugs while also sending Ukraine TRILLIONS to make European elites happy.

NOBODY ever IMPORTS immigrants.

So how will Venezuela affect the midterms? Will every Republican candidate back Trump's plays there, or will some run as isolationist paleocons?

i wonder now

Probably depends on how many soldiers come home in body bags between now and November.
In the nearer term, though, I think we're going to see some more cracks in the MAGA coalition in DC. The Republicans in Congress are not going to appreciate Trump failing to even ask what they thought first.

 

[Wilson23]

Well, the odds aren't looking good for them: https://forum.literotica.com/threads/2026-u-s-midterm-elections-place-your-bets.1648686/

Doesn't look like ANY, now. What's up there, anyway?

 

[Holy_Seduction]

To be competitive, the Dems need to move left, which is what the people want, as you can tell by the public response to the Sanders/AOC rallies

Wilson: I just discovered this.

This is good analysis. You’ve done good work here. Kudos.

 

[Wilson23]

What it comes down to is whether Pubs running for Congress are going to support the Administration or try to distance themselves. The latter is their best chance of winning.

 

[Holy_Seduction]

As I see it, either ‘winning’ is the proletarian class [and whatever one cedes still to exist of the Republic] forfeiting all.

There's nobody else but Dems and Pubs who CAN win, is there?

Wilson, the regime would never allow a socialist party to come to power through a public election. You know that.

If there is to be any remedy, it will be because the working class intervened directly in the stream of political events to transfer all power and authority to itself.

If you can get past that, you may as well resign to accepting the status quo, At that juncture, you’ve no way forward. And in the mean time? You still have the irresolvable issues I named:

Our Debt
Our Dollar
Our Declining global position
Our Domestic outrage

At some point, you’ll cede that the Republic has fallen. I suggest that sooner is better than later.

Trust us. Don’t trust your eyes. We have told you the media can’t be trusted. We told you this would happen.

Stay indoors. Don’t worry about your rights.

I think that got all of it.

The Dems' real problem right now is that "We're not Republicans!" is all they've got. What they need is a left-progressive version of Project 2025, something with real substance, offering things not even the Dems have ever tried before.

Your problem is, all who're left in your party are the lunatics. Crazy communists and angry overweight white females.

Again with the gender issue. Someone really fucked you up.

"We're not Democrats.".

That AIN'T what you'll see at a Sanders/AOC rally, and that's about as far left as you can go within the party.

That's the majority of whom we will see. We already know the majority of men vote for Trump...cuz they are normal.

That does NOT reflect well on masculinity as such.

If it’s the majority, how they feeling as the true colors show? Ever think he would be anti carry?

Still not normal to vote for a woman eh? Dude you have issues!

Which says both precious little and a great deal — given that while they and others have issued statements calling for ICE’ withdrawal from Minneapolis, they have made no proposal as to how this is to happen. Nor have they called for ICE to be disbanded. They do not organize resistance.

Their role has been a foster illusions that this crisis can be resolved by appealing to the very institutions that are carrying out the repression.

Likewise, AFL-CIO president, Liz Schuler gave us empty platitudes about mourning and accountability while calling on Congress and local authorities to do investigative work. Not a single walk out has been called even though there is massive support for the same.

The Democrats and the trade union apparatus alike try to prevent a confrontation of the working class with the capitalist oligarchy that controls every institution of governance, and that elevated Trump precisely because it can’t enforce its interests at home or abroad through just, legal, or democratic means.

In the final analysis, Democrats stand with Trump in the defense of capitalism and the wealth of the oligarchs.

Their greatest fear is not military police dictatorship, but a working-class movement that escapes their control and threatens the existing concentration of wealth and the organization of society on capitalist premises.
