America's Mid-Terms: There’s More That Unites Dems Than Differentiates — The conversations focus exclusively on how they’re going to use power to take revenge on their political enemies


From the green hills of Virginia, Damian Bennett provides a fair warning: He is giving us an overlong list, but "it is overlong with a purpose." And what Duncan Hill calls "the sheer volume of offenses by the Dems" turns out to be good news; our old buddy is convinced that the mindset that the president's party will lose the mid-term elections is fatally flawed.
From the moment DJT took office in January 2025, the DNC and media propagandists panelists immediately reframed the political chatter as, 'When the Democrats take power in 2026...' as a fact waiting only on the calendar. This is premised on the historical midterm headwinds that blow cold on the party in power. History and Blue tsunami wishcasting has created a mindset of inevitability. People, Red and Blue, have convinced themselves, contrary to the evidence (below), that the Democrats will take both the Senate and the House. This [presentation] disputes the mindset (and glee/gloom, respective) and argues a unique combination of factors run counter to the historical presumption.  


Alas, the ensuant discussion is in French and therefore beyond me, but I take issue with the proposition itself as an apples-to-oranges misconstrual. 

Some history. Britain's coalition government broke up in May 1945 with elections held in July. Labour had been steadily gaining on the Tories since 1942. Though widely respected, Churchill was associated with four years of war and deprivation. The Tories misread the disconnect and, thinking to capitalize on Churchill's war-time popularity, ran under the more-of-the-same slogan, "Help him finish the job" (the Allies were still at war with Japan). But the British public was tired of war and job-finishing (that's for the Yanks) and was champing for some free stuff. Labour was ready with its Let Us Face the Future manifesto, a comprehensive wishlist of government goodies that matched the public appetite. Labour won in a landslide. That is NOT the American 2026 political situation.

Let me focus on the one glaring difference between the 1945 election and America's 2026 midterms -- what are the Democrats offering the electorate, what comprises their appealingly equivalent Labour manifesto?
How will the Democrats govern to lower gas & grocery prices, make housing more affordable, make good their Obamacare shambles, reduce the deficit? I have culled below the plan specifics that escaped Rep. Debbie:
Impeachments. Lawfare. That's it. No Clement Atlee here. 

I've no gift for election predictions but I can fit puzzle pieces together to form a picture puzzle, and I DO NOT see the Democrats riding a big Blue Tsunami into November. In brief, five reasons: 

1. Agenda & Messaging (see above).
Hon. Vickie Paladino (NYC Council Member District 19) On X October 24, 2026: None of the conversations taking place by Democrats and leftists in anticipation of retaking Congress are about the ways they’re going to make life more affordable for Americans. The conversations are exclusively about how they’re going to use power to take revenge on their political enemies. There is no strategy to lower gas prices or grocery prices. No strategy for the budget. No talk about hearings on affordability or inflation or the stock market. Just revenge. That’s all they’re talking about, two weeks before an election they believe to be sewn up.

2. Polling & Media. This is an old story. The polls and media are garbage, but garbage that serves to queer elections. Is there anyone who still needs receipts on media bias and its contagion? 
The media has been found out so many times, I believe bias-awareness is baked into the news experience. A lot of news churn, but low trust. Let's skip to the polling:
  • Republican Pollster Finds Long-Term Trend Of Polls Overestimating Democrats August 18, 2026
  • Polling Firm Closes After Releasing Fake Election Surveys For 'Social Experiment' August 19, 2026
    Median Strategies, which released polls indicating Los Angeles Democratic Mayor Karen Bass and Wisconsin Democratic gubernatorial candidate Francesca Hong leading their rivals by wide margins [They both lost.], announced this week that the surveys were a hoax and that it has shut down.
    [These surveys were NOT 'social experiments'. Their intent was to queer elections.]
  • Wedgewood Admits Fabricating Polls, Many Boosting Dems in GOP States October 21, 2026
    Wedgewood Polling has confessed that almost all of its election surveys were fabricated, including fake polls showing Democrats unusually competitive in Republican-held states just two weeks before the midterms. The company calls it a ‘social experiment’ exposing weak safeguards, adding to scepticism toward pollsters, aggregators and media outlets that picked up its numbers.
    • Wedgewood posted this (via Instapundit) on X, and has now disappeared itself: “Despite having no history, formal credentials, or real data behind the vast majority of our releases, Wedgewood Polling was added to major polling aggregators, including The New York Times, FiftyPlusOne, and VoteHub, and repeatedly treated as a legitimate data source.”
      [What a co-inky-dink. Both Median Strategies and Wedgewood only fabricated polls favoring specific Democrat outcomes. That's not a 'social experiment', that's push-polling.]
  • Ben Shapiro On X October 21, 2026: A pollster faked all his data and just got caught months later. So, here’s the lesson: people don’t know how to read polls, poll aggregators are garbage-in-garbage-out, and every major Senate race right now is a statistical dead heat. So go vote.
  • unseen1 On X October 22, 2026: Look at who is outing these fake pollsters and ask yourself why they are doing so at this time? It's not conservatives outing them. The people outing them are trying to get ahead of something and set a narrative. You be the judge of what they are trying to get ahead of and what narrative they could produce from outing their own fake pollsters 2 weeks before an election.....
    [How can this NOT be illegal?]
3. Candidate Quality. Where to start with this? Only a sampling...
...just a sampling. This cycle has also seen the Democrat's cozy embrace of the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), which is Communism straight up, no more patty-cake with wussy proto-communist socialism. It's the real deal from right-think to choco rations to gulags.
Just a sampling.

4. Moola.
5. October Developments. 
If you've read this far, congratulations. Here is all the above in snack-size summation:
  1. It's the economy, stupid! The Democrats have no legislative platform. They think they can win on promises of impeachments and lawfare. But they cannot govern on impeachments and lawfare. 
  2. The polls and media are the final bottoms in a Sodomy Conga Line of ideological conveyance. To wit,  polls and media take it up the pooter for the DNC/DSA; the DNC/DSA takes it up the pooter for fabulously wealthy prog donors; fabulously wealthy prog donors take it up the pooter for the Islamo-, Marxist-, Toffler-, Schawbby/Davos true believers; the true believers take it up the pooter by the long-schlonged Dark Powers.
  3. The DNC has fielded a wild collection of dimwits and quislings and dimwit quislings. These include anti-Semites, Islamo-fascists, anarcho-Marxists-qua-socialists, the pedo-adjacent LGBTTQQFAGPBDSM+++, and the all-in-one anti-Semitic Islamo-pedo-fascistic anarcho-Marxist Stalinist.  
  4. Having burned $2B in 2024, the DNC hasn't the money to go large. 
  5. October events favor Republicans and damn Democrats.
Having made my case, here are the qualifiers:
  • I recognize that the Democrats are up against Republicans, the world champs at queering the surest of sure things, e.g., midterms 2022. 
  • The American electorate is not dumb but can be duped and has been duped before, e.g., Obama 2008. 
  • The Democrats ability to cheat is largely unchecked (thanks, John Thune). Democrats no longer care about being caught, because they know undoing an illegitimate win is much harder than proving an illegitimate win, Q.E.D., Biden 2020.
  • The Color Revolution is real and in play and will remain so until every quisling is charged, convicted, and hanged by the neck. Until then it is an all-bets-off wild card.
  • Gas priced above $4.00 on November 3 may give outcomes a bluish tint.
