It is hard to overstate how silly Hinderaker’s sophistry has become.
As always, we tend to think (all else being equal) that Occam’s Razor applies: i.e., the simplest explanation — in science — tends to be the correct one. So too, here.
The wipe out was the result of an emphatic rejection of Trump’s “cruelty first” policies — and his unblinking idiocy about tariffs, and immigration and his own government shut-down. He now holds the record for the two longest shut-downs in US history — with his current one the longest ever, already — and still continuing.
But John thinks the central lesson of last night is that (wait for it!) Democratic voters are happy to allow their candidates to favor violence — against all GOP-ers. Wha-a-a-a-a-a-t?!
And this (he imagines) allows him to again compare the 2025 Democrats to the 1850s pro-slavery forces. And this — he claims — means our Union cannot survive. Only civil war 2 lies ahead, in Hinderaker’s (delusional) crystal ball. What a chicken-little, even if one credits his facially-preposterous premise.
Seriously, dude(?!) — get a grip.
That’s a whole cloth invention of a great sci-fi — or alternate history — novel… but it in no manner addresses (what is, in fact, in John’s own admission) the stark enthusiasm gap that MAGA/GOP now faces — compared to more progressive voices.
No, John — the polling at above right simply and perfectly explains… last night: people are sick to death — and on both sides of the aisle, too — of your cheating, felonious, feckless Manchurian Cantaloupe’s “chaos policies” — and abberant ways.
Do try to keep up. No one will buy your sadly bleating victimhood, either:
“You” were not fire-bombed. An empty building in the dead of a frigid Minnesota late January Sat. night / Sun. morning… [well below zero at that!] was torched. To be sure, it was one that housed at least three other far-right reactionary groups… but it caught fire. Why have there been no arrests, if it were some “antifa” forces, John?! Why?
So spare us your “tiny violins” act, man.
None of this moves us.
Suck it up — you are going to see similar (or worse) at the 2026 midterms. You will lose the US House. To a certainty. And perhaps, the Senate too.
Out.
