Yesterday, before any of the results came in, I didn't think I'd be writing something like this. Yep, and here I am. Seems like a broken record. By the way, if there's anyone reading it who doesn't understand the phrase "broken record", then just chalk it up to an older person's experience. These days, people don't listen to music on vinyl records that are on a turntable. I've read that younger people went for the Democrat line.
Anyway, to get down to it, the results yesterday bespeak SOMETHING. But what exactly? I'd say "more of the same". Whatever we've been getting, we're going to get a whole lot more. Isn't staying the same a "conservative" idea? In that case, the Dems are better at conservativism than the so-called conservatives.
The Democrats are really good at demonizing their opponents. The Republicans are really good at letting them get away with it. It works for the Dems, and it works, and it works. It's not clear what that does for Republicans, but they seem to enjoy it somehow.
There WAS an exception, or two. Ron DeSantis won big. He gets to be the hero--- at least for awhile. If he is to succeed, he has to remain the hero. Remember the time Rudy Giuliani was the hero? Not anymore. The hero can become the villain. The Democrats are really good at making GOP'ers into villains. The GOP'ers seem all too willing to let themselves become villains. I don't know what the GOP'ers are getting out of it. Maybe they like to be whipping boys.
It's almost like their doing it all on purpose! Well...... maybe they are.
Let's see how long DeSantis gets to be the good guy. The knight in shining armor who will ride to our rescue. If he is not particularly skillful in avoiding such a fate, he will be demonized. And soon.
