The GOP is a party built on an identity of victimhood, they don’t know how to win just like a dog doesn’t know what to do with a car it catches up to.
The voters of Kansas, a ruby red Republican stronghold, just soundly rejected a ballot initiative that would have removed abortion protections from their state constitution. What’s more, the turnout in that election dwarfed that of prior primary elections, coming closer to rates seen in presidential elections. In short, the Kansas election results ought to send shivers down the spines of Republican election strategists. What was shaping up to be a tsunami of a wave election for them is now showing signs of potentially being little more than a red ripple if not an outright historic failure on their part to take back at least one house of Congress.
