Thread – Tidbits from the Committee to Unleash Prosperity
1. Bad News for Progressives: It’s Still a Conservative Country
1. Bad News for Progressives: It’s Still a Conservative Country
1A. Virtually all of the votes have now been counted and so it is official: the big blue wave the media and the Dems were promising a few weeks before the election turned instead into a big red tidal wave – at least in state races.
1B. The red tide stretched from coast to coast – in red states and blue states. A BIG factor was the massive Trump turnout on election day which pulled hundreds of Republicans over the goal line riding on his coattails.
1C. In state races, the GOP cleaned up. Here is the latest tally from our allies at ALEC, the state legislative group.
• Republicans gained 192 state House seats
• Republicans gained a net 40 state Senate seats
• Republicans gained 192 state House seats
• Republicans gained a net 40 state Senate seats
1C1.
• Republicans now have legislature control (i.e, majorities in both chambers) in 31 of 50 States, versus 18 for the Dems. One state, Minnesota is split.
• Republicans flipped 3 legislative chambers: NH (House and Senate) and Alaska House

1D. What is stunning about this story is that Dems and liberal/progressive donors (Bloomberg, Soros, Zuckerberg, et al) poured hundreds of millions of dollars ….
1D1. … into the states to take over legislatures with unprecedented spending in Florida, Texas, and Pennsylvania. ALEC president Lisa Nelson estimates that Democrats outspent Republicans “at least three to one in the states.” And all they got was a lousy Tee shirt.
2. The New Party of the Rich
It’s time for the media to recognize that some of the political party stereotypes we grew up with no longer apply.

2A. Under Trump, a political transformation started to occur. The Republicans have become the party of the working class and Democrats have become the party of the super-rich.
2B. For example, this year Democrats collected five times the amount of campaign contributions from Wall Street than Republicans did.
2C. Democrats are now dominating the wealthiest districts in the country. This has been a trend in the making for 40 years. In 1980, the year Ronald Reagan was first elected, Democrats won only nine out of the country’s highest income earning counties.
2D. This year, Joe Biden won 57 out of those 100 counties.
