I'm in a very red state, but there were no races here this time for the Senate or Governor. There were, however, five ballot initiatives that were designed to deceive and trick voters into giving up their voting power, including a misleading one that would have reinstated an abortion ban that was voted down two years ago. The people didn't fall for their tricks. The Republicans didn't get the gerrymandered redistricting map that they wanted, either, hoping to get 7 red reps out of 8 instead of the old 6 out of 8... but instead, they lost a seat, so now have 5 red seats out of 8. Even if they had gotten the new map they wanted, it might have backfired even worse for them.

Voters DO NOT want to lose their power... at least not those who are paying attention and see through the tricks. We have a MAGA trump supporter governor, but it didn't go his way. And right next to us is Kansas... and we all know what happened there. The farmers are obviously speaking up, too. People aren't liking all this data center stuff, either. That's why the stock market dropped today. It's becoming obvious that people want their power back, to see accountability, and they want to be listened to... and they certainly aren't getting that with the current regime.

And the funny part... after all the false and misleading ads, and all their attempts to usurp the voices and power of the voters having failed... the governor now says he wants to have an "honest conversation"... SURE he does!! LOL
