The three strikes that led to the 2026 election bloodbath: 1. The War in Iran For 10 years Trump has ran on 'no new wars' and fixing affordability for regular people. This is why every demographic in America swung hard to the right in 2024, but especially the working class. Americans are exhausted. We wanted price relief and the wars to end. America has been at war for my entire life. Gulf Wars, Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq...Enough. But we got a new war and higher prices. Every gas station sign was a billboard against the Republican party. 2. GOP Does Nothing When They Get Power Voters gave Republicans a control of The White House, the Senate, the House and the Supreme Court. What did we the GOP do with it? Nothing. No DOGE cuts. No SAVE Act. No reduction of spending. No stock trading bans. No COVID vengence. No defunding of wars. No mass arrests. Some good stuff has been passed, but ask a regular voter if they can name anything. Members of Congress should try this at their local gas station... 3. The Murder of Charlie Kirk Charlie Kirk was a historic unifier who brought together a coalition like no one else in politics. When he was assassinated, that coalition shattered. Charlie was indispensable in getting out the youth vote, but more importantly Charlie was constantly signaling good policies for independents and young people to the White House. Yes, Charlie would have hated the war in Iran. Charlie was constantly working behind the scenes so steer the President away from policy disasters. Also, when he was assassinated, people didn't see immediate consequences for the violent left-wing demons who killed Charle. People wanted revenge. Raids. Mass defunding of the forces responsible. The inert response left people deeply discouraged. We needed action and focus. This should have been the Charlie Kirk 'Never Again' election. It was sadly the opposite. His absence was the size of a crater on the moon in in 2026. In summary: Ban Neocons, do what you say you're going to do and avenge Charlie by making the sole focus of Republicans for the rest of my life: -Homeownership -Cheap gas and groceries -Good jobs, strong economy -Closed border -Family creation This is what people vote for. This is the only way out.
