Eat shit bitch!
Awful map design oh my god
America looking like I just woke up and my eyes still need to adjust focus
Anyone have a memed version of this
Just remember when reading this image: “shift to democrat” doesn’t mean that county was won by democrats. It could also be a shift from 19% democratic in 2024 to 22% in 2026
Most importantly, Democrats didn’t “win”! Trump just sabotaged the GOP. What are the chances EVERY Democrat ran a flawless campaign and pulled this off in unison.
I pray next that Democrats seize this once in a lifetime opportunity. Americans cried out “make the last 2 years impossible again!” That is the mandate, not business as usual.
^This. This. And this. I wish the blue tsunami was an awakening of the American people who have learned their lesson from their brush with fascism. They realize human rights apply to all humans, that the rule of law is fundamental to a functioning society, that capitalism needs guardrails.
They didn’t. They voted to oust the party who impacted them personally. And if gas prices and interest rates go down a bit, they’ll be right back to their usual identity politics.
I was wrong about the midterm. I didn’t think the Dems had a hope in hell of winning both houses of Congress. I hope I am wrong about this and Dems get off their asses, work to restore rule of law and immediately shift to real governmental reform to prevent this kind of slide to fascism and corruption much harder. We have done it before, so that gives me hope.

Democrats have been building momentum in the state since the disaster of 2014. Dem turnout has climbed from the 1.4M low water mark that year. An enormous part of that was driven by the Beto engagement strategies and permanent campaign apparatus begun in 2018.
By comparison, NY Dems turnout out 3.4M voters in '26. California turned out 5.1M. Texas Dems turned out 5.4M.
Compare Texas to Florida, Virginia, Ohio… Nobody came close. This was as dramatic a swing as the elections in Hungary and Serbia. And all credit goes to Texas locals, who organized cadres fully independent of the national party.
And we have to keep it going. For as long as ive lived in the state its been purple, but overwhelmingly went red because of gerrymandering, and more importantly lack of engagement by democratic voters. They felt it was pointless, because republicans always win, and controlled so much of the government. I assumed even if dems turned out that there would be shenanigans to prevent a republican loss. Yet here we are.
I’m still surprised. I’m waiting for the Texas legislature to do some lame duck shenanigans to strip power from the governor and lt governor at least
I know theyre already looking to strip the power to set the agenda in the legislature from the lt. Governor.
Even though Oklahoma stayed red, every county shifted Democrat.
And the Gulf of Mexico is back again!
This dumb bitch. Republicans control Texas & the federal government until January. Did they steal the election from themselves?
No need to call her a bitch ^^
Eh. Loomer has been advocating for mass deportation of Muslims for her entire career.
The shoe fits.
Nah, she’s a bitch. You’re free not to use that word, I’m free to use it, c’est la vie. Unless you’d have preferred I call her a cunt, because I’d be happy to oblige.
Anyone can be a cunt. I actually would prefer that. A cunts a cunt, everyone knows one.
Bitch is what some knuckedragger yells at a woman when she rejects him again
That’s fair. The way I see it, dick, bitch, cunt, asshole, cock etc all mean the same thing. You’re effectively calling someone a jerk. Getting nitpicky over which is ok - and which isn’t - is a waste of energy in my book. Just because somebody else uses the word more virulently doesn’t somehow mean everyone who calls someone a bitch is evil. Part of language is intent and context. If I called a woman a bitch because she was intense or intimidating, that’d be out of line. If I call someone a bitch because they write stupid shit like this and run an account like that, I feel like I’m doing alright.
Its a realy sexist word you can hate her all you want but this kinda language affects all women :(
Words exist in context. If I called my female boss a bitch because I perceived her as domineering or demanding, that’d be out of line. If I call someone a dumb bitch for running one of the most toxic accounts on social media posting nonsensical disinformation, that’s very different. While I understand that being called a bitch can be very hurtful, I’m not calling you one, I’m calling someone else one, so being offended on their behalf is silly. I’m not gonna censor myself because someone might have a negative association with a word. And before someone says “I’ve heard the same logic applied to the n word” cool well I’m not applying it to the n word, I already don’t say that so I don’t need to censor myself.
Etymologically speaking bitch refers only to women, but in modern usage the pejorative is used for both genders
It’s pejorative for men because it implies you are a woman, you fuckwit
What’s next, are you going to say “pussy” is unacceptable for the same reason!?!?
jk I know you and wezzzy are right.
Not the women who aren’t bitches, since it’s not directed at them.
I’ve seen people use that exact justification for the n-word.
If you’re really gonna try and act like bitch and the n word exist on the same plane of cruelty and offensiveness you’re just being flatly disingenuous.
Cool, good thing I’m not then.
Let them cry foul! Agree emphatically when they say it was rigged! Encourage them to take up arms. We need an excuse to finish Sherman’s work. Showing them mercy in 1865 was a deadly mistake for us.
As long as conservatives continue to live, they will continue to oppress everyone around them. Always. They will never stop. If we allow them to continue to exist, they will bring us back into fascism. We need to finish them or next time will be MUCH worse for us.
Don’t mess with gas prices or people get upset. Or Texas, I guess
If we considered '24 as a single point, then regression to the mean (thinking, as is pretty accurate across most states, that the split between d/r is often a few points off of 50/50) would suggest a large swing back towards ‘neutral’ from a +14 point advantage.
So, even discounting the idiocy that is the current american administration and its effects on voters, yes, I would expect most places to vote more democrat.
Is there a country-wide version of this to browse?
It’s on the New York Times website, desktop mode or app only.
I know NYTimes has a graph like this. Unsure if anyone else does
cnn does too
Indeed.
