Former Trump campaign chairman and White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told his podcast viewers that Republicans should take Tuesday night’s losses to heart, saying: “The midterms start tonight, and the warning signs are flashing.” He observed that “Democrats just flipped two Georgia commissioners,” marking “their first statewide wins in 30 years.”

Far-right influencer Mike Cernovich (who spawned the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory) tweeted: “Ted Cruz and Mark Levin are walking Trump into impeachments and then prison. 2026 will be a blood bath.” MAGA podcaster Jack Posobiec likewise warned that “2026 will be worse if we don’t course-correct.”

    Dems can make some huge gains if they have a working class message. Plan on holding Trump/ICE accountable for their actions and not be Israel simps. It isn’t hard. Trump and Steve Bannon keep hinting at some plan if they lose so it won’t be easy even with Trump being the worst.

      The fact that they have a golden opportunity right now convinces me of the fact that they will fumble the absolute fuck out of it. They already went to war against mamdani. Any progress will be in spite of the D party.

      I mean, yes…but I also see this as “The vampire party could be so much more popular if they came out in favor of a bloodsucking ban.”

      They likely have their own objectives beyond getting elected. They might even prefer being in the losing position if “they are our only hope and we all gotta donate real hard”.
