Speaking as one who resists self-identifying as anything in particular, I can sympathize with a lot of what you’re saying here and still think Trump is absolutely not the guy to carry out even one item on anyone’s wish list.
That's a very well-written and thoughtful analysis of why the Red Wave didn't happen, and I agree with a lot of what you said, but not all.
When it comes to Wall Street and Globalist influence, I think both parties are in the tank, not just Dems.
And when it comes to individual candidates, I think the gerrymandered system (95% of incumbents are re-elected) means they win just by party affiliation alone, despite whatever they say or do.
What I agree with most is that very few politicians today are working for "the people". They're in it for themselves. All the flag-waving and "Save America from Socialism" slogans are just PR hype; MTG and Gaetz and Jordan (and McConnell and McCarthy) are lusting for power and will say and do anything to further their own careers. And they'll make 180-U-turns on anything they ever said if the occasion calls for it.
ANd yes, there are Dems in the same boat. But right now I see some Repubs just drooling at the thought of holding the gavel and going after Hunter Biden - as if Jared Kushner didn't make millions, maybe billions off of his White House position.
Really, I don't see many honorable politicians at all. The John McCain's are all gone.
So, I don't agree with everything you wrote, but it was a thoughtful and well-written analysis.
Maybe you should get out more, emerge from the "Nordic Pagan Soldier" mindset and actually talk to a few, at least semi-observant and politically astute right-leaning Jews (some of whom, like myself, are decorated US Army combat veterans but no indication so far that you too are so experienced!) That might require a constructive re-assessment of your hateful paleo-NSDAP mindset.
The whole red/blue thing is just a distraction to keep those of us at the bottom fighting with each other. The sooner we realize it's a class struggle, the better our chances of escaping from the jar.
"Did you know that if you put 100 black ants and 100 red ants in a jar, nothing will happen? But if you shake the jar hard, the ants start killing each other. The red ants consider the black ants their enemies, and the black ants consider the red ants their enemies. The true enemy is the one shaking the jar. The same thing happens in human society. So, before we attack each other, we should think about who is shaking the jar!"
I don't think you understand Democrat voters very well at all. You really ought to do some more work to understand the average Democrat's priorities and concerns.
Anyway, besides that, you're incorrect about COVID. Everything about Covid is overplayed politically. Besides Nevada (which is like the tourism equivalent of a petrostate), no governors were rewarded or punished for their Covid policies. DeSantis and Whitmer had opposite approaches. It did not matter, both won in blowouts.
The entire media narrative of the 2020 election was and is wrong because it assumed Trump was done in because of Covid. Covid helped Trump because Covid helped incumbents worldwide. He was done in for being annoying and weird to normal voters- a result that was repeated in the midterms.

100% spot on
Maybe you should get out more, emerge from the "Nordic Pagan Soldier" mindset and actually talk to a few, at least semi-observant and politically astute right-leaning Jews (some of whom, like myself, are decorated US Army combat veterans but no indication so far that you too are so experienced!)

Democrats, Republicans. A pox on both their houses. They're only interested in maintaining their own power.
The whole red/blue thing is just a distraction to keep those of us at the bottom fighting with each other. The sooner we realize it's a class struggle, the better our chances of escaping from the jar.
