    I am all over the web reading about the mid-terms, I am calling it a red wave. I know it is too close to call for some but it's my call and I am sticking with it. Prepare for the riots and burning up the cities, it's how the left deals with defeat. Trump marches on to 2020 and beyond. Enjoy the ride.

    Regardless of how this turns out, of a certainty the Dem Party screwed up major league big time for conducting a politically motivated reputation rape of Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh because that crap-bucket political move by the Dem Party's leadership energized the Right to get off their complacent kiesters and vote.

    Thus if the Dems do win back the House this week, they won't win it by as large a margin as would have been the case had they not gone full retard:

    Every election cycle some reactionary right winger posts something just like this:

    " Prepare for the riots and burning up the cities, it's how the left deals with defeat"

    I've seen predictions like that coming out of the mouths of folks like you since 2000, if not before.

    There is no evidence to support it at all. And, your prediction has never come true. But this sort of dystopian prediction is part and parcel of the weird world of reactionary right wing politics. It even has its own genre of paranoid trashy literature.

    I dunno... I saw this video the other day and am definitely seeing a pink wave.

    Scroll to the 1 minute mark to see what I'm talking about.

    Anecdotally, and maybe indicative of nothing, my Congressional district is one of very few in the country that would remain Red if only nonwhites voted. We voted IIRC 80% for Trump. Fully 30% of our voter roll voted early this time, that is unprecedented.

    The only prediction I can make is that if there is some kind of Blue Wave, and the Democrats conduct themselves as they have over the last two years and during the K hearing, there very well may never be another Democrat Congressional majority for a generation starting in 2020.

    This is why I'm not too worried about whatever happens. The senate remains republican, and will pick up a few seats. The house is the only thing up for grabs so there are two basic options. The republicans retain the majority, which just means conservatives get angry with the house as a whole because they're just not doing enough. They lied to get into office by saying they would repeal obamacare, and once they got the house, they refused. They lied about worrying about the national debt and instead threw Trump a ridiculously bloated omnibus spending bill that gave us nothing. So yeah, it's basically a shadow democrat majority.

    On the other hand, if the democrats fail to gain a majority in the house, I think we'll start to see even more insanity than we have before because it will show that they can't win no matter what they do.

    Well for the past 2 years we have seen riots on the streets, they camped outside the trump tower for a long time, that accused the president of rigging the election, they destroyed a mans life just to gain power, they lie in the media, they have paid illegal aliens to come here.

    Even Maxine Waters told her supporters to riot, Hillary Clinton said that the Dems can't be civil when they are not in power.

    Do you need any more evidence that we were right?

    This is where I came of age. I know those streets from back in the 70s and 80s. The lefties try to say that there are no riots, but they're not really serious, I don't think. It's much like what happens to chickens on the chopping block. Why, I've seen a headless chicken take flight before!

    A country where a right wing terrorist take 25 minutes to slaughter 11 Jews thus starting their 'all Jews must die' pogrom. A country where a couple of ageing black peeps get killed with a sly 'whites don't shoot whites' goodbye note. A country where a fully paid up trumpkin sends pipe bombs to various non trumpkins.

    That country, I reckon.

    The ocean is blue. Blood is red. A fitting color considering the Republican party has chosen to ally itself with violent Nazis and crazed terrorists (bombers, incels, death threaters, and the like). I choose to ally with the calming, peaceful ocean.

    That is truly emotive and cliched horseshit. My eyes have been opened about your polity. Appointment of SCOTUS Justices is a hightly charged POLITICAL process and both red and blue played hard. Kavanaugh was appointed but both he and SCOTUS lost limbs in the brawl. Most of it ... all Bart's doing.
