      Gotta love this quote. These people are fucking delusional.

      >“The reality is that Democrats are consumed by infighting, factional warfare, and competing agendas that are tearing their party apart. Meanwhile, Republicans remain united behind President Trump and his America First policies that are lowering costs, strengthening our economy, and delivering real results for American families.“
      -Kiersten Pels, the Republican National Committee’s National press secretary

      TL;DR: Yes, if we’re looking at state legislative special elections. Since the start of Trump’s second term, Republicans haven’t been able to flip a single state legislative seat. In that same time period, Democrats have flipped *28 seats*.

      Trump is such a hideously ugly person, it’s hard to even look at him. He looks like he’s halfway through an Animorphs transformation from human to naked mole rat.

      One day I’ll think about Trump for the last time. I won’t know it at the time, but his image and his name will cross my mind, and then I’ll forget about him forever. What a wonderful day that will be.

      They should do a true or false on this statement, „The reality is that Democrats are consumed by infighting, factional warfare, and competing agendas that are tearing their party apart. Meanwhile, Republicans remain united behind President Trump and his America First policies that are lowering costs, strengthening our economy, and delivering real results for American families.“

      Maybe someone should fall on the sword for awhile and pretend to be republican by being a mean, gay hating, God fearing Christian. Get voted in and pivot day one and start improving the communities much to the constituents dismay.

      Surely there must be a great many places yearning for more evil and failure to be brought into their lives. Cities full of people who are tired of not being constantly lied to and threatened, and feel like it’s about time that the supporters of child sex traffickers had more say in their local affairs. I bet that red wave is coming any day now to bring about the widespread human rights abuses and dedication to party-over-Americans that so many Americans have been hungering for.

      I’ll save you an ad-ridden click – true.

      Doesn’t matter. Vote in the midterms.

      I’m happy they at least explained that article was written with AI but damn that’s one of the toughest reads I’ve had in a bit.

      if they’ve kept a single seat, it’s a failure by democrats/other left parties.

    17. Worried_Okra33 on

      They haven’t flipped any seats but in predictable scripted fashion, they flipped Fetterman and Cueller who are now the new Manchin and Sinema. It’s all rehearsed garbage until the people stand up and hold them accountable in ways that cannot be discussed.

    18. Reddit_anon_man on

      POLITICO reported that „Democrats have flipped 28 Republican‑held state legislative seats… Republicans are at zero.“

      The assertion focuses narrowly on state legislative seat flips, not congressional races, governorships, or party switches, and compares outcomes in special and off‑year elections held since Trump’s election win.

      The Ruling
      fact check:
      True.

      I, too, will be adding to that number when I flip the school board seat locally here in fall! 🔥

      Fetterman is a DINO. He’s a MAGAt and will be treated like the rest of them.

      At this point I don’t think he understands why everyone getting screwed and lied to while he funnels money isn’t getting him great appreciation

      > Based on reporting and election tracking, Republicans have not flipped a single Democratic‑held state legislative seat since Trump won the 2024 election, while Democrats have now flipped 30 Republican‑held seats over the same period, as of late March 2026.

    29. Conscious-Demand-594 on

      Have the Dems flipped any seats in congress of the six special elections held so far?

    32. ButchQueenGeek on

      We are witnessing a typical midterm shift in power.  Yeah, the pendulum is swinging.  Dems are winning the short term battle.  Provide better ideas and remain focused.

      Between the SAVE America ACT, ICE agents, Elon Musk agents doing the same thing as in 2024 and local Republicans seizing the actual physical ballots; I have a fear that come this November 2026 the Republicans are going to have some football equivalent ‚Hail Mary‘ play to steal the election.

      didn’t we see something like this play out 2016 running into the 2018 election?
