Just a PSA that it's a creepy source, so don't trust it much.
It does explain the weird way that the question answers itself at the end without its author seemingly realising it. There aren’t the numbers to make it mathematically plausible to shift further right if you’re already at that extreme.
MAGA people won't understand that. They'll just think it's impossible every county went blue, despite that not being what the chart says
To be fair, it’s not what the post says either
I would say 100%. Thanks for playing the probability of past events game.
Even ignoring the past event thing, the chance is very high, because the events are naturally correlated. Everybody felt the same raised fuel prices.
Now if it was the chance of uncorrelated events, the chance would be essentially zero.
I find it interesting the right-wing influencers seem like they were primed to claim the election was stolen
Even Trump isn't bothering with it. Seems like it was too decisive of a result for them to even try challenging
Ummm, excuse me, the Gulf of WHAT?
It's like some people don't want to obey the divine procomations of Dear Leader. In my household we already refer to the so called Alantic and Pacific Oceans as The Trump Ocean and ThePresident DJT Ocean so he knows that we support everything he commands!
That account is far right, I guarantee this wasn’t in defiance of drumph.
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.
Democrats didn’t “win”! Trump just sabotaged the GOP.
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.
Texas isn't as red as people think. The GOP took over the Texas legislature for the first time ever in 2003, and gerrymandered the shit out of it to prevent themselves from losing the state. The majority of the US House delegation from Texas were Democrats from the founding of the state through 2002. Then in 2004, the gerrymandering allowed them to flip it from majority-Democrat to 2/3 Republican.
^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.
America looking like I just woke up and my eyes still need to adjust focus
Anyone have a memed version of this
Tactical bluke
Awful map design oh my god
Looks like Cookie Monster.
This dumb bitch. Republicans control Texas & the federal government until January. Did they steal the election from themselves?
Don't mess with gas prices or people get upset. Or Texas, I guess
Honestly, it probably is as simple as that. Unfortunatly it’s not people waking up and being “wow, GOP are evil”, they just noticed something that impacted them directly and so they went out and voted. Thats probably why Trump won in 2024 too, people just saw high prices during biden’s presidency and decided to vote for the 2016-2020 prices.
High because it's difficult to get more people into the cult when there are already so many of them.
Actually, his cult has shrunk. By a lot. It's been some popcorn-munching fun as a cult survivor.
... well, in a disaster-movie way, and I hate living in the disaster movie. But nodding and going, "Yep. Yep, you found out your life is a lie. Aaaand there're the tears, the mental breakdown. Just let it all out, honey."
Even though Oklahoma stayed red, every county shifted Democrat.
My friend said this pattern has happened to every single US president ever except J bush (they lost the midterm elections to the opposing party on their second term). Is there data and facts on it?
Presidents not labeled here, but you can look those up separately to figure out what you want: https://history.house.gov/Institution/Majority-Changes/Majority-Changes/
Yes the president usually loses the midterms that's true, however usually not at THIS scale
To be fair, most presidents don't strap oil prices to a rocket and send them into fuckin orbit.
Cope, seethe, mald, etc. you transphobic waste of oxygen.
Eat shit bitch!
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.
And the Gulf of Mexico is back again!
