Senate Republicans on Wednesday took a hard look at Tuesday night's punishing election results in some key battleground states, and they're not pleased with what they're seeing.
"Yesterday to me was a complete failure," said Sen. Thom Tillis of North Carolina.
Republicans were handed a string of rebukes, from red-state Kentucky's projected move to reelect Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear to Virginia projected to elect Democratic majorities in both chambers of its state Legislature, likely thwarting GOP Gov. Glenn Youngkin's election promise to enact a 15-week abortion ban.
It's amazing that these republicans are totally surprised by these results and "not pleased" with what they're seeing. What they're seeing is the aggregate voice of the American people who have for years been crying out for restoration of women's healthcare rights and for protections for all groups - and somehow they still don't hear that cry or understand it. Talk about willful ignorance and choosing to ignore reality in favor of self-delusion!
You are looking at them wrong, you need to understand their in mindset. They don't see them losing an election and think that their policies need to be reworked or that certain topics are just too taboo to run on…
They see it as a failure of the American people to acknowledge their rightful rulers. They didn't see an election, they saw a litmus test of the Peasants' loyalty.
And they're already vowing/trying to ignore the votes, just like they did in Florida and Utah.
