(62,325 posts)that THEIR issues were 'ponies' and 'unrealistic' etc etc, deliberately discouraging people from voting, which ended up with what was essentially, a Vote of No Confidence in one of the worst voter turnouts for midterms.
Congrats to all those who repeatedly discouraged voters from expecting THEIR issues to be addressed, for telling them over and over again they were wrong to focus on issues and should just Shut Up and Vote, and expect NOTHING.
There was no big win for Republicans, there was a Vote of No Confidence from the people, caused by the negative attacks on VOTERS that have been a pattern now throughout the past decade or more.
Voters knew what they wanted, but were told to 'forget about it'. What a great Campaign Message that was.
One thing we know, all that negativity led to a Wall St Victory so who knows, maybe that WAS the goal.
