“The midterms were more like a resurgence of Ebola than a seasonal cold.”
The midterm bloodbath was real, but despair is for losers. History’s greatest comebacks begin with catastrophe.

On Wednesday, Nov. 4, the day after the Great Bloodbath, Maggie Haberman et al., writing in The New York Times, hilariously misunderstood internet vernacular by quoting Team Trump’s mention of the “black pill” (as opposed to the white), asserting there was “talk of cyanide” among Trump’s advisers.
Whether these journalists are actually unfamiliar with the “pills” or were just engaging in their usual wish-fulfillment fantasies, I can’t say. Of course, dear reader, you and I know that the black pill is a metaphor for cynicism and hopelessness, while the white pill represents hopeful possibility, the silver lining in an otherwise dark cloud.

The miraculous confederacy that Donald Trump fashioned over the past decade-plus … now is revealed to have been less a movement of converts than an inchoate group yearning to be persuaded.

Voters who were motivated to vote against illegal immigration two years ago now have acted indifferently and voted ungratefully regarding Trump’s policies.
But in a way, so has Trump himself: starting a war against Iran eclipsed talk of the border. Similarly, the man whose every speech and comment routinely was a wind-up toy’s litany of complaints and statistics, alarums and discursions, began ignoring his script: no talk of foreign wars, no bragging about the swamp, no mention of Epstein.

To solely scapegoat Hegseth for the Iran war and cataclysmic landslide by the Democrats is cynical, tawdry, and cowardly.
The Secretary of War may have his faults, but he didn’t lose the midterms all by himself.
