The Red Wave turned into a Red Ripple, with Democrats holding the Senate and the House still in play. We begin our post-election coverage with 10 key lessons learned in the midterms.
One bright spot for Republicans is a 20-point victory for Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Wayne explains why DeSantis is highly overrated and will turn out to a bust. DeSantis victory, and bigoted right-wing policies, is leading activists to consider an “anything but Florida” campaign. Wayne interviews human rights activist Stampp Corbin who is urging tourists and conventions to shun the Sunshine State.
Wayne interviews a conservative who says that Republicans could have performed better if they had paid more attention to helping American workers, rather than focusing on a culture war with the woke.
Finally, Wayne discusses the fact that even in defeat, America is stuck with millions of brainwashed Trump supporters. They need to enter right wing rehab to deprogram, but Republican leaders don’t have the integrity or courage to tell these Q-Anon-loving zealots the truth.
