The GOP has NEVER won a Presidential Election in which its candidate lost both Arizona and Georgia. Never.

And, speaking of which, let’s talk about the GOP’s woes in Arizona and Georgia in the Trump era.
#TrumpLost ImageImage
The GOP lost margin in Arizona and Georgia in two elections in a row. Not only did Trump do worse in these states in 2020 than he did in 2016 (he lost in 2020). But he also did worse in AZ and GA in 2016 than Romney did in 2012.

They’re not that into you, Donnie.

And since Trump took office in 2017, the GOP has lost the following in both Arizona and Georgia:

- Lost 2 US Senate seats (in each state)
- Lost US House seats in 2018 which it did not regain in 2020. In Georgia, the GOP lost a House seat in BOTH 2018 and 2020. ImageImage
Since Trump was inaugurated:

The GOP lost at least one State Senate seat in both Arizona and Georgia.

The GOP lost multiple State House seats in both Arizona and Georgia. ImageImage
At this point, the people who believe everything that Trump says and 95% of what they hear on Fox News, Newsmax, OAN and from their crazy uncles on Facebook will yell “but it was rigged!!”

Really? Look at the trend lines. Was 2016 “rigged” too? ImageImage
The other thing that Arizona and Georgia have in common:

They both have Republican Governors and Republican-controlled State Legislatures.

But they were supposedly “rigged” in 2020? Which would explain Trump’s decline in 2016 and all the other GOP losses here … how? ImageImage
Look at this and all the other patterns that corroborate the fact that #TrumpLost.

In addition to the fact that Trump has been known to lie about other losses.















Trump lies all the time, about almost everything. But this particular lie is a very destructive one. It shakes the faith people have in American Democracy. But he couldn’t care less because the only thing he cares about is himself and his very fragile ego.
So, as long as he continues lying, I’ll continue proving that #TrumpLost. And sharing the various facts that show that he is, in fact, a loser.

In the last 30 years, every time the party holding the White House has lost more than three of the states that it won during the last election, that party has lost the Presidential Election.

Trump lost 5 states (and Nebraska's Second CD*) in 2020 that he won in 2016. Image
Regardless of whether the incumbent President ran for re-election (like Trump in 2020) or is term-limited (like Obama in 2016), no one since 1988 has won a Presidential Election after losing more than 3 states their party won the last time. Image
And, of course, the explanation for Trump's losses of the five states that he lost in 2020 is incredibly simple - even if you don't go into things like his approval rating, exit polls, etc.

Comparing Trump's election performance in 2020 against 2016, his margins decreased in 43 states.

Meaning that he either won by a smaller point margin (even if he got more raw votes in 2016), lost states he won in 2016 or lost states worse than he lost them in 2016.
#TrumpLost Image
In 22 states, Trump won them in both 2016 and 2020. But he won by a smaller point margin in 2020 than he won them in 2016.

In 5 states, Trump won in 2016 but lost them in 2020. Trump calls these states "stolen."

And in 16 states, Trump lost both times but lost by more in 2020. Image
This in itself isn't that unusual historically, as we'll see as we go through this. There have been a lot of elections in which the incumbent party does worse than it did before in this many states.

That President or their party just usually doesn't keep the White House.

Both political tribes play the victim card in different ways. To the far left, the people to blame for every problem are big corporations, big banks and the rich. And, of course, some people blame every bad thing that happens in the lives of any person of color on racism.
But the political right used to piously preach against the “victim mentality.” But many who now align to it play it as well or better as the far left ever did. Who’s to blame for the fact you don’t have a job? The “Mexicans” (whether or not said people are actually from Mexico).
“The blacks,” as some of them term us. Political correctness. The Elites (often aimed at people who attain a formal education). China. India. Other countries taking advantage of us. “Don’t worry,” reassures the Orange Savior. “You’ve been wronged and I’m going to fight for you!”

You cannot understand the psychology of Trumpism or of the modern Republican Party without understanding the deep and pervasive fear of demographic change among some whites in America.

They go hand in hand.
And, closely coupled with it is the legacy of the “Southern Strategy” and the strategic decisions that the Republican Party has made over the last five and a half decades, targeting mostly white voters while ignoring or showing active hostility to many other groups.
Any student or American history knows that in the Jim Crow and Civil Rights eras, a lot of the most xenophobic and racist rhetoric and policies spoken and enacted during those times came from southern Democrats.

Something else about Arizona that corroborates the election results that Joe Biden won: voter registration statistics.
azsos.gov/elections/vote…

But the number of registered Democrats rose from 223,115 in January to 257,678 by November - an increase of 15.49%.

Serious question. If the US Senate refuses to do anything because the @GOPSenate won’t cooperate on ANYTHING, even a commission to investigate 1/6 and because of a filibuster rule that doesn’t even require the opposing side to show up in person, shouldn’t everyone just go home?
I mean, if no work is going to get done and half of the Senate is vigorously committed to doing nothing at all, why should taxpayers pay to keep flying those guys and gals between their home states and DC?
If you’re going to do nothing, why should taxpayers pay for:

1) Their staffs and offices
2) Their travel expenses and per diem

Why not just shut the Senate down and keep it closed until one party has enough seats to get something done?

Or

Reform the Filibuster
