The 'Red Wave' turned out purple...
For more than a year, there were predictions that votes for Republicans would send a 'Red Wave' for the mid-term elections. If you stand back and look, it's pretty purple. The predicted wave didn't come as predicted.I've seen a few difference of opinion reports as to why... candidates supported by former president Trump didn't do so well at the polls. Was it him or was it because voters didn't want to see vocal right-winged overly confident candidates like Lauren Boebert in office?

I think the biggest factor though, was the Republican’s inability to appeal to the youth of America....
The younger generation has a very low opinion of the GOP....the reasons are many...Rowe vs. Wade overturn was one. But, the biggest factor, is they get their information from social media platforms...and, the Republicans are not portrayed in a favorable way on most of these.

But the rest look at their right wing dads with a certain disagreement. We don't want the automated gainsaying of democrats where you just say climate change isn't real, we want something new and different in the political life of the culture.
Donald junior has to be the fool of the year after announcing a bloodbath would occur just before the midterms.
If dems win the razor thin House, it will be making history! Hasn't happened in midterms in100 years!
However, in rich, high population density areas, where people don't have to work on farms or deal with "reality", and are heavily swayed by News and Media, the Senate took entire states where only the big cities were "blue", and much, if not the entire rest of the state was "red".
How long did it take you to arrive at that belief?
