Bottom line -- no Red Wave. More like a Red Tide which raised a few boats and scared the swimmers. So the nation has survived the election. Now we'll see if it survives the upcoming recession.
that more than 210 Republicans who questioned the 2020 election won Congressional seats based on results so far, and 100 of them are still questioning the 2020 election within the past year.So while there was no Red Wave, there was also no mass repudiation of Trumpism.The Times gave two examples of pro-Trump newcomers who said the 2020 election was stolen or rigged: Anna Paulina Luna who won a house set in Florida, and Russell Fry who won a seat in South Carolina.
“I will sponsor a bill to either get those people reinstated honorably back into the service or give them the option of getting a stipend from the federal government because of the fact that they were wrongfully discriminated against and discharged,” Luna said. That didn’t strike me as radical, and overall she sounded reasonable. Turns out she was a former Obama supporter, in fact. Got a little grief for that in her campaign.“I mean he is the current president in the White House, yes,” Fry said.“The vast majority of people that assembled on January 6 were exercising their First Amendment right. That is true. Those who broke the law should be held to accountable, on our side or the other side,” Fry said.
So he’s a January 6 apologist. But he doesn’t come across as a bomb thrower, and considering he’s in South Carolina — he sounds relatively moderate.So the nation has survived the election.
