There’s no getting around it – the election results from Tuesday night in New Jersey, Virginia, New York City, and California (where far-left Gov. Gavin Newsom shoved the state constitution-shredding gerrymandering Prop 50 onto the ballot) were not ideal, shall we say, and I found myself somewhat deflated.
I remember full well the awful morning of Nov 4, 2020, when I had gone to bed thinking that incumbent Donald Trump had won a second term but woke up to the terrible reality that the numbers had magically changed overnight and that Joe Biden had somehow prevailed. Eighty-one million voters. It’s still hard (choke) to believe.
I was filled with dread, because I knew that meant four years of misery, and sadly, I turned out to be right – Ole Joe was quite probably the worst president in U.S. history, and took us down a path of malaise, gender-bending theories, DEI discriminatory insanity, rampant inflation, and so much more.
I was remembering that horrid feeling as I watched the election results pour in Tuesday evening.

But then I slapped myself in the face like Cher thwacking Nicholas Cage in Moonlight. “Snap out of it!” she exclaimed. And rightly so: crying in our milk won’t help anything.
The reality is, despite the confounding results in virtually all the races Tuesday night, the conservative party and the GOP are still very much in the winning position right now. How surprising is it that Virginia, as our Adam Turner points out, a state which is way over-populated by government workers who are butt-hurt over the shutdown, would vote Left? Not that shocking, actually.
Turner:
If any state shows a backlash to the GOP for the government shutdown, federal government worker-heavy Virginia will be that state.
And they were up to the task, voting for the odious Abigail Spanberger for governor while also giving the winning nod to the twisted attorney general candidate, Jay Jones, who wished his enemies’ children would die. The extremist left is alive and well.
Meanwhile, California Gov. Gavin Newsom is currently gloating with his Stepford Wife over the fact that his Democracy busting, gerrymandering Prop 50 has apparently passed, but did we really think the Golden State voters had woken up? Sadly, they are like the spouse in an abusive relationship – they just keep watching their state decline and their quality of living go into the dumpster, but keep hoping, “this time will be different!”
Keep in mind, though, the GOP still holds the House, the Senate, and the Oval, and some temporary setbacks are not going to derail the movement.

Sure, I would have liked to see New Jersey say no to Mikie Sherrill, or Virginia recognize that Abigail Spanberger has no principles and is all in on the woke bile pushed by so many of her comrades. Yes, it would be a feel-good moment if NYC had even a modicum of sense and rejected the Marxist, antisemitic dogma of democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani. But that was not to be, because they are who they are – extremist leftists who would love to see the American Experiment fail.
In these times, it’s important to take a deep breath and remember that California and New York City are not America. The ideas and rhetoric and the toxic policies coming out of the Golden State or the Big Apple don’t have to become the nation’s new reality. We have Donald J. Trump, Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and many other warriors who will continue to fight against the assault on American values.
Long-time Fox News Host Sean Hannity often uses a phrase that I think is relevant: “Let not your heart be troubled.” Although these results are not what we would have wanted, they’re also coming out of blue or middling states and don’t necessarily mean the GOP and conservatives have lost the edge.
If we get slaughtered in the midterms, that’s another story. But in the meantime, it’s not the time to panic.
