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.”

    Every time these fuckwits lose, they think it’s because they weren’t fascist enough. The same thing happened with the LNP in Australia when they lost. I say let 'em keep thinking that.

      Right, but they’re in power and power having that thought pattern is scary if you’re a targeted member of a minority group (Ask the LGBT population about the similarities between 1930s Germany’s stance on the LGBT and today’s America’s stance on the same).
