Die Midterms als Trumps Black Friday
54 zu 44 im Senat, 240 zu 147 im Haus, 28 zu 20 bei den Gouverneuren, so besiegten die Demokraten die Republikaner bei den Wahlen in den USA. Meine Anmerkungen zur Blue Wave, die Donald Trump berrollt hat.
1. Es war ein Sieg der Demokratie gegen die Autokratie. Mit berwltigender Mehrheit haben die Menschen dem Umbau der USA zu einer autoritren Oligarchie eine Absage erteilt. Die lteste Demokratie der Welt wurde vom Volk verteidigt, weniger durch seine Institutionen. Wichtige Institutionen wie der Kongress hatten sich vorher selbst entmachtet. Gerichte waren massiv geschwcht worden durch parteiliche Besetzung und Missachtung von Urteilen. Die Pressefreiheit geriet massiv unter Druck. Der Kongress ist nun wieder instandbesetzt.
2. Trump hat das popular vote mit 13 Prozent klar verloren. Einen solchen Abstand gab es seit Watergate nicht mehr. Trump verlor, weil viele seiner Anhnger gerade auf dem Lande nicht zur Wahl gingen. Dagegen whlten mehr junge Menschen, Latinos, Schwarze, und Frauen. Sie stellten sich gegen den Terror der ICE und die Abschiebung ihrer Nachbarn in den Latino-Communities und den offenen Rassismus. Es war ein Erfolg der , des Kampfes gegen Trumps dreiste Korruption. Die Vielfalt des Widerstands war die Grundlage der Mobilisierung.
3. Es war ein Sieg der Bewegungen gegen das ganz groe Geld. Mit dem Sieg der Demokraten wurden so viele Frauen in den Kongress gewhlt wie nie zuvor erstmalig mehr als 100. Es gibt mehr schwarze Gouverneure als zuvor und mit in Georgia die erste schwarze. Die Indigene in Minnesota und mglicherweise . wurde Gouverneurin von New Mexico.
4. Die Demokraten haben die Wahl mit dem Thema gewonnen, mit dem Trump zwei Jahren gewann: Bezahlbarkeit. Die um 50 Prozent gestiegenen Dieselpreise trafen Pendler. Sie trieben Farmer in den Konkurs. Trumps Versprechen die Bidenflation zu senken, wurde in sein Gegenteil verkehrt. Die Antwort der Demokraten darauf war vielfltig. In Michigan kmpfte klassisch links um eine Krankenversicherung fr alle. In Texas leitete aus dem Gebot der christlichen Nchstenliebe ab, dass es nicht um links oder rechts gehe, sondern um oben oder unten. Gemeinsam kmpften sie fr Affordability. Das Mantra der Bezahlbarkeit einte die demokratische Partei von links bis rechts. Auch die Mainstream-Demokraten hatten vom Erfolg gelernt.
5. Trumps Gier hat ihn in die Niederlage gefhrt. Er hat mit dem Iran-berfall einen Krieg vom Zaun gebrochen, der ihm persnlich und der l- und Gasindustrie Milliardengewinne in die Kassen splt. Diesem Geschft wurde die MAGA-Bewegung geopfert. Der Rechtsauen Jrgen Elssser beschreibt es auf X so: Trump ist politisch mausetot und mit ihm die gesamte Rechte auch in Europa und Deutschland, die sich auf ihn bezogen hat. JD Vance bringt es auf den Punkt: Der Grund fr unsere Niederlage ist der Krieg. Trump hat sein Versprechen gebrochen, das Land nicht erneut in endlose Kriege zu verwickeln. Die Kriegsgewinne von Trump und der l- und Gas-Industrie aber mussten die Amerikaner an der Tankstelle bezahlen.
6. Trump ist ohne Mehrheit im Kongress eine lame duck aber eine gierige lahme Ente. Trump ist kein Politiker im klassischen Sinne. Er versteht Politik vor allem als Mittel, sein Vermgen und das seiner Clique zu vermehren. Bill Clinton hat sich als lame duck erfolglos um die Lsung des Nahostkonflikts und erfolgreich um den Nordirlandkonflikt gekmmert. Fr Trump ist die Endphase seiner Prsidentschaft die letzte Mglichkeit, mitzunehmen, was noch mitzunehmen ist. Die Midterms als Trumps Black Friday. Das ist keine gute Nachricht fr die Welt und fr die transatlantischen Beziehungen. An das Gute glaubt nur der deutsche Auenminister, der sich freut, dass er mehr Gesprchspartner im Kongress hat. Johann Wadephul hlt Marco Rubio fr einen verlsslicher Partner. Tatschlich ist Rubio ein erklrter Feind europischer Souvernitt.
7. Aus Trumps Sicht gibt es wenig Grnde, seine strategische Allianz mit Netanjahu aufzukndigen. Der ist fr einen ewigen Krieg mit dem Iran, weil ihm das die Macht sichert. Trump sichert es die Extragewinne aus den hohen l- und Gaspreisen. Gute Grnde gibt es fr einen Deal Trumps mit Putin auch wenn dabei die Ukraine unter den Bus geworfen wird. Die Organisation eines fossilen Kartells zwischen Russland und den USA sichert beiden eine starke globale Rolle. Im Kampf gegen den grten Elektrostaat China rcken die beiden Petrostaaten zusammen. Seit Dienstag ist Europa umso strker gefordert, seine politische und wirtschaftliche Souvernitt zu strken.

Post-Election Blue(s) November 2026
It appears the Democratic Party has regained a majority in our federal legislative body. This also appears to hold true in many gubernatorial races.
So what happened I am not a political analyst, and I dont want to be one in fact, I am not a Republican. I am a Constitutionalist yes, it is a real party, and from my point of view, a few things happened.
First, the liberal messaging was stronger than the conservative. Not necessarily better, but stronger.
I live in Mississippi. The contest between incumbent Cynde-Hyde Smith (R) and Scott Colom (D) was a daily barrage of negative advertising. Interestingly, Mr. Coloms ads were either attack ads or ads that promised action with no substance. When pushed on the substance, like many of his fellow democratic canidates, how to fund pet projects was never answered. However, the race is still undecided Coloms ads resonated with young voters and those in the Delta (poorer area) of the state.
Second, the voter turnout on the left was greater.
I am convinced that the Christian vote could not be counted on in the numbers needed to make a difference. In my last post, I noted that we should not think of our vote in those terms but voting as a way of lessening evil. Also, we must address the issue of Christian in name-only voters. I will use Scott Colom as an example. One of his ads shows him leaving church and saying he is a dedicated Christian. Yet a statement brings that into question. Scott Colom has publicly stated that he is mostly legal on abortion, but also says he has always been prolife as a Christian, while trusting women to make their own choices. This is Burger King theology, claiming to be something but desiring it only your way.
Lastly, the number of densely populated cities that have shifted Democratic
Over the past few decades, Mississippi has gone to 44(D) of 82 total counties. This has changed the voting here. We remain a conservative state in all but the densely populated counties where Democrats vote in large numbers. This is true in Texas, CA, OR, and many other once solid conservative states.
Well, the election is over, and the majority who voted has spoken. What now
As citizens we need to learn from this beat down and get the correct message to the people. The concerns over the economy were and are valid, yet they are not nearly as bad as under the previous two democratic presidents. Yet somehow that message never got out. The left ran on the economy and other issues, but if you look at the X post from OliviaVasques3 below you will see (just one of thousands of examples) that in reality it was a referendum of we hate Trump.
As , we must obey those appointed over us, unless, of course, their orders (laws/policies) go against the will of God (the Bible). We must stand secure in what we know is true, not what we contrive as true. Below are two examples of what I mean:
2026 election post-mortem:
A dramatic shift away from 2024
An undeniable response to:
Corruption
Malfeasance
Narcissism
Arrogance
And broken promises
NEVER has a president suffered such a well-deserved repudiation
All the cries about election rigging are nothing more than sour grapes
The Sovereignty of God over all things is a deep comfort. As the old Christian saying goes, I dont know what tomorrow holds, but I know Who holds tomorrow.
For God is the King of all the earth sing praises with a psalm! God reigns over the nations God sits on his holy throne. (Psalm 47)
It is sad and grievous. Romans 1 says Gods passive wrath is when he gives them up to their sin and evil desires when He stops restraining a people from destroying themselves and lets them have the evil things they want.
The United States intentionally chose things like max-boosting infant murder up to the moment of birth, legislated sexual perversion that will wreak havoc on a rising generation, the expansion of Islamic influence on our nation, elected leaders openly hostile to Christianity, and in at least 2 cases (TX and Kansas) chose what the New Testamant would define as (and I do not say this lightly or flippantly) demonic, apostate false teachers to lead them.
This is an example of Romans 1 playing out before your eyes.
There is no political solution to a spiritual problem. Politics cannot fix what politics did not break, and Mankind was broken long before any political system.
The hope of the world has been and remains Jesus Christ, reformation and revival in our nation that has the ability to reach inside the chests of men and women and make them new men and women who want (and vote for) new things.
Christ is the only way out of the chaos.
Important lessons to be learned for conservatives. Wisdom would not be to blame everything on dumb / evil voters.
Basic leadership: Face the brutal facts (learn and adjust), maintain unwavering faith.
Sadness is ok, but despair is a sin. Therefore, we DO NOT lose heart (2 Cor 4:16).
Head up, chest out, knees down, glory up do not grow weary in doing good, we build and fight (Nehemiah).
What are we going to do Get up with joy in our eyes, love in our hearts, steel in our spines and keep assaulting heaven for an outpouring of Gods Spirit, sharing Christ, planting churches, making disciples and deploying them in all areas of society in eager anticipation of the next Great Awakening in our land.
Tombs still empty, yall
We do what the people of God have always done in time of need: WE PRAY.
We need to pray daily for our nation. These may seem like scary times, as many of the democrats elected are so-called in name only. In fact, they are socialists. Yet He who holds the world in His palm is in complete control. I encourage everyone to pray for our nation. I have listed an extract from Matthew Henrys Method of Prayer below as a guide

According to the president, the proclamation would ensure the West Wing rooms would not be touched by anybody, destroyed, ripped down by stupid people, in order to build something in a slightly different shape.
Too bad a previous president didnt issue a similar order. Imagine: no Mar-a-Whitehouse Ballroom no cheapening of the Oval Office with gold paint and fake mouldings from Home Depot.
