What Does This Election Mean?
Is this a post-Trump era or are conservatives rising?
While it seems all but certain that Joe Biden will be the 46th president of the United States, we on the conservative side have had to deal with a lot of upheaval during the term of Donald J. Trump.
What does it all mean?
Before we go on, some house cleaning.
Yes, Mr. Biden did get 5,000,000 more votes than President Trump and looks to have won the electoral college by the same number as President Trump did in 2016. Take out the California vote only, and it is a lot closer than that.
No question, President Trump turned off enough normal GOP voters in certain places. Yet he gained many more than in 2016. Count me in that number. But his boorish personality was a bridge too far for many normal and or nominal GOP voters. The numerous stats are bearing that out.
Now if it is as expected a Biden administration, what does that mean for the long-term GOP prospects?
Let’s take a look at the serious GOP gains in congress that have taken place.
The GOP is expected to end up with possibly 214 seats in the next congress. But the amazing thing is that according to the “polls”, the Democrats were supposed to make these gains. So what happened is proof that while many were voting for Biden thinking he would be more “presidential”, whatever that means nowadays, they were splitting down ballot.
This is happening at the state level as well. And that is going to have a decade-long ramification due to this being a census year and when all the states will redraw all congressional and state legislature lines. Which will probably end Nancy Pelosi’s reign of terror as speaker of the house.
If the two senate runoffs in Georgia end up in the GOP column, most of the most left-wing Biden agenda will be dead on arrival.
So a GOP senate majority and a decimated Democrat house majority will in the end help the GOP.
Looking at 2022, again based on new lines drawn, the GOP will probably take the house and the GOP should keep the senate. It is more than likely that there will be a recession by 2022 and we don’t know how much longer the Wuhan Coronavirus hysteria will last which will help the GOP.
Clearly, a conservative agenda is not going to see the light of day in the next four years at the national level. That is why states are going to be important. Conservative policies are going to take place there and possibly under a GOP administration in 2025 can that see the light of day at the national level.
It is becoming clear that while the GOP does not have the White House, they will have everything else.
There is a lot more to dissect but this is just scratching the surface.
Stay tuned!
