A sad loss for conservatives in the USA midterm elections

Somehow, this isn't shocking the Republicans would lose plenty and the Democrats would end up winning plenty this year. Which includes, perhaps more unshockingly, the victory of Muslim socialist Abdul el-Sayed in Michigan:

Democrat Abdul El-Sayed will defeat Republican Mike Rogers in Michigan’s closely watched U.S. Senate race Tuesday, projects Decision Desk.

The candidates competed for an open seat after Democrat Sen. Gary Peters announced last year he would not run for reelection.

El-Sayed, a Michigan native who will become the first Muslim member of the U.S. Senate, earned an M.D. from Columbia University and a doctorate in public health at Oxford as a Rhodes scholar, though he did not pursue residency and therefore is not licensed to practice medicine. Rogers and other Republicans raised this history when refusing to refer to him as a doctor. He previously led the Detroit Health Department and the Wayne County Department of Health, Human, and Veterans Services.

It's chilling to think of all the non-Muslims in Michigan who likely voted for this man. Mark Levin also brought this up:

The fact that a few million people voted for El-Sayed, despite his ties to terror-aligned groups, and actual such groups, Hasan Piker, and with full Democrat Party support, is truly shocking. If this doesn't alarm the rest of the country, beyond the borders of Michigan, we have a very serious problem. This illustrates a cultural malady that has metastasized due to a number of failures of our ruling class at all levels -- including immigration, academia, local-government zoning, etc. Most of all, the Democrat Party wants to turn our country into France.

That's one of the worst things about this election disaster. And what if it turns out bad "conservatives" like John Daniel Davidson also secretly voted for the Democrats? (Update: here's somebody at his Federalist site even quoting Vance uncritically.) Why won't it be the least bit shocking if that turns out to be the case?

As Pamela Geller notes, JD Vance has just made things worse by blaming relations with Israel on what occurred, and won't take responsibility for any influence he had in holding back firm attacks on Iran. Here's somebody commenting on how bad Vance is:

⭕️ All day long, we've been saying that JD Vance undermined Trump and threw him under the bus to appease the woke right, the very movement he wants to lead. The Woke Right rushed to defend him, and even Trump's own son broke ranks with his father to defend Vance. Now, with the latest Fox News report, our concerns appear to be vindicated. Vance is reportedly positioning himself to lead the disaffected New Right, even if that means breaking with Trump's foreign policy. Vance needs to resign immediately. He is a disgrace, a liar, and a major political liability to Trump's presidency. Instead of standing behind the president, he appears more interested in advancing his own political ambitions at Trump's expense. Absolutely astonishing. Somehow, it's always someone from Trump's own inner circle who ends up betraying him.

If Vance is going to run for POTUS in the next 2 years, it'll be awful. But what's really chilling to ponder is whether a majority of Republicans will actually vote to nominate him the official candidate after what he's done? He's betrayed Trump, and now, he's lending himself to furthering the nightmares to come.

Update: and wouldn't you know it, the aforementioned Davidson wasted no time blaming Trump almost entirely for the election failure, right down to the following:

This was a war that no Trump voters were asking for in 2024. In fact they were promised the opposite: no new Mideast wars. That, and mass deportations were the two things voters wanted from a second Trump term. He betrayed them on both counts, launching the Iran war and doing too little on mass deportations. And the result is that voters, clearly perceiving the betrayal, have rejected Republicans everywhere.

Predictably, he ignores previous data indicating there were Americans who supported the war. He also ignores that Trump has gotten some 2 million illegals deported. All Davidson's doing, as a result, is suppressing info to serve his ignorant agendas. This is why truly, I want nothing to do with the Federalist anymore.
