Hey, Red States: Ready for Secession Yet?

    When I wrote this, six full days after the 2022 midterm election, the situation was still undecided. The Senate is apparently in Democrat hands again, and the House was “leaning” Republican , although some 19 (!) races are still undetermined. [Editor’s note: The Democrats have indeed held the Senate, and the Republicans now have been assured of a very slim majority in the House.] But in any case, what we have witnessed here are multiple systemic failures at multiple levels. The simple fact that so many races have no results even now, over a week after the fact, is itself an indictment of “American democracy.” But the problems go much deeper than that. If it wasn’t already obvious, the system is broken beyond repair. The house is rotten. New siding or new paint won’t do it. Down it must come.

    But before I get to that, let’s look at a few details of the results. Even a basic analysis at this point is helpful. Obviously the anticipated Red Wave never materialized, but there were still a few bright points. At the moment, according to the Cook Report, Republicans have earned 5 million more votes than Dems in House races (out of about 100 million cast). This gives them a 51.7% to 46.8% edge in terms of total votes—a significant margin. If this margin is reflected in the final tally, Reps will hold 225 House seats and Dems 210. We will see what comes.

    Strangely enough, in the 2010 “Obama backlash” midterm, Republicans won by a very similar margin in terms of total votes (51.7% to 45.0%), and yet held 242 seats—a full 17 more than expected this time. This is an astonishing difference; clearly, new district maps have favored Democrats. They clearly have profited from the many redistricting initiatives out there.

    Also, the current split in the House races is almost the exact mirror image of the last presidential election, where (officially, at least) Biden took 51.3% and Trump 46.9%. To me, that indeed counts as a ‘Red wave,’ even if it is something less than expected.

    In terms of racial categories, as Kevin MacDonald emphasizes, Whites voted 58% Republican, whereas non-Whites went 68% Democrat. (Among non-Whites, Asians voted 58% Dem, Latinos 60% Dem, and Blacks a whopping 86% Dem). This is highly revealing. By significant majorities, Whites see Republicans as their party, and non-Whites see Democrats as theirs. Bottom line: When Democrats win, non-Whites win. And when Republicans win, Whites…well, they don’t win (we never really win these days), but at least White grievances can be heard.

    And then a few other interesting statistics: Voters who had a least one gun in their household voted 66% for Republicans—unsurprising, and potentially good news down the road. And this was some 53 million voters! Second, a surprising (to me) 27% of voters said abortion was their #1 issue. (Really? With all the problems in the country and the world, with your economy a mess, a doddering senile president, and a planet facing potential nuclear war, abortion is #1?) These were largely incensed liberal women, and they voted 76% Dem. Third, 53% of voters said immigrants “help the nation” and just 39% said they “hurt the nation.” (Obviously, the relevant issue at the moment is illegal immigration, but cleverly, the question did not specify.)

    What about election fraud? Was this election, too, “stolen”? I must admit that I have yet to see compelling evidence for fraud in 2020, but I remain open to the possibility. And there are already hints of problems now in 2022, but it remains to be seen if these amount to enough to account for the difference in outcomes. Also, as Tucker Carlson has pointed out, it is highly suspicious that, of the longest-delayed results, Democrats seem to win most of the time—the figure he cited was 77%. It’s almost like, “Keep counting until the Dem is ahead, and then stop.” Again, we’ll see where the longest-delayed and closest races shake out this time. But the example of the Senate is not encouraging. Of eight tight races there, Dems won four, Reps won three, and Georgia is in a runoff, almost certainly to go Democrat. That will give Dems five of eight (63%) close races in a national environment that was supposedly pro-Republican.

    But my main takeaway from the current situation is this: Whether there was fraud or not, either way, the outcome is very bad. If there was sufficient fraud to tip the outcomes, then the system obviously has zero credibility and something approaching a revolution is immediately required. On the other hand, if all reported votes are legitimate, then that tells us that far too many people were willing to reward the current administration; that they are not terribly upset about record inflation caused, in part, by record federal spending; that they don’t mind funding wars in Europe; that they were not all that concerned with the Covid fiasco that allegedly killed over 1 million Americans and destroyed thousands of small businesses. (Republican candidates should have repeated over and over: “vaccine mandates,” “mask mandates,” “shutdowns,” “school closures,” “Anthony Fauci,” “Rochelle Walensky,” etc., etc. Remember those?) In short, either we have (1) a fraudulent democracy that is literally worthless, or (2) an electorate so bamboozled by the Jewish media machine—and Jewish porn, and Jewish legalized pot—that they can hardly think straight. Both alternatives are bad news indeed.
