The results of the 2025 elections were an unqualified blowout for Democrats who won every one of the most consequential contests. They won governorships in New Jersey and Virginia. they won the mayoral race in New York City. They won the California redistricting initiative that will be a prelude to similar measures in other states.

Republicans on the other hand lost by unexpectedly large margins. The races mentioned above were not even close. That sort of collapse is generally a harbinger of hard times ahead for the party at the bottom of the heap. And yet, their response to this smackdown is to doubledown on their extremist MAGA-tism with ever more radical proposals that, in many cases, will help Democrats more than the pitifully desperate GOP.

Confirming that Republicans are infected with a fatal case of flop sweat, their Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, held a post-election press conference to exhibit just how removed he is from reality. He told the assemble media that…
“I don’t think the loss last night was any reflection about Republicans at all. I think people are frustrated and angry, as we are, I am, the president is, and we express that in different ways. But we’re looking forward to a great election running on our record.”
Mike Johnson: "I don't think the loss last night was any reflection about Republicans at all. I think people are frustrated and angry, as we are, I am, the president is, and we express that different ways."
Does this election outcome reflect on Republicans? Of course not. Why would the overwhelming votes of millions of people have anything to do with the party that lost so badly? Although, Johnson is right that “people are frustrated and angry.” At Republicans. Which also explains why he and Trump are angry and frustrated.
As for running on their record, Johnson and his MAGA minions are welcome to do that. And Democrats will be happy to help. It’s record that consists of higher prices, less democracy, military invasions of U.S. cities, inflationary tariffs, tax cuts for the rich, skyrocketing healthcare premiums, cutting off food aid, murdering alleged drug traffickers with no evidence, censoring comedians, and protecting pedophiles. What could go wrong?
For his part, Trump followed up the election debacle with a commentary that not only put his ignorance of the plight of the American people on display, it provided further evidence of his mental deficiency. He told a meeting of Republican senators in Miami that…
“All we want is voter ID. You go to a grocery store, you have to give ID. You go to a gas station, you give ID. But for voting they want no voter ID. It’s only for one reason: because they cheat.”
Donald Trump has never been to a grocery store or a gas station.Which may explain why he doesn't know or care that groceries and gas is still to expensive. How do MAGAts think this guy is in touch with their lives.

What’s more, if that wasn’t bad enough, Trump offered his excuse for the electoral catastrophe in a posting to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social. In a typically pathetic comment he whined that…
“TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT.”
HAHAHAHAHA…Trump thinks he wasn't on the ballot. He's the reason that turnout for Democrats hit record levels. But he's right that the #TrumpShutdown was part of the reason for the GOP election losses.Congratulations California, New Jersey, Virginia, New York, and America.

If Trump really thinks that he wasn’t on the ballot, he is more cognitively diminished than we thought. Exit polls showed that many voters specifically showed up at the polls to register their disapproval of Trump. And no one was more insistent that his influence would be a key factor in the election outcomes than he was. As for the government shutdown that he and his GOP confederates orchestrated – and continue to prolong – that was indeed a significant reason for why voters came out in droves for Democrats.
The attitude of Trump and the Republican Party in the wake of their devastating losses is proof that that have no capacity whatsoever for self-reflection or any ability to learn from their mistakes. Which is good news for Democrats. It means that the GOP won’t bother to correct course between now and the midterm elections in 2026. Consequently, the defeats that they suffered yesterday will only be magnified next year. We can hardly wait.
