The 2022 Mid-Terms Exposed the Existence of Two Americas and the Overwhelming Importance of the 2024 Election

By Steve McCann, AM THINKER

There have been many postmortems written about the outcome of the 2022 mid-term elections.  Nearly all focus on political or structural issues.  Did the Republican primary voters pick terrible candidates?  Why didn’t the Republican hierarchy spend more money on candidates x, y, or z?  Is Trump’s endorsement the kiss of death in a general election?  Why didn’t the Republicans better prepare for voting fraud and manipulation?   But what nearly everyone fails to understand is that this election further amplified that this nation has effectively and permanently split into two countries tenuously living side-by-side, while exposing the overwhelming importance of the 2024 election.

The United States is currently plagued with uncontrolled inflation spiraling into a severe recession, crime is rampant in the nation’s cities, the borders are open and uncontrolled, the standard of living is rapidly deteriorating, society is sinking into a morass of premeditated cultural decline, and an increasingly bleak future awaits the vast majority of Americans.  Yet fifty percent of 2022 voters chose to continue this state of affairs by opting to elect or re-elect the politicians that have created or abetted this ongoing national devastation.

Far too many, particularly the younger generations who voted overwhelmingly Democrat, dwell in mindless loyalty to a collectivist tribe, its leaders and its attendant ideology.  In their addled thinking this fidelity outweighs the well-being of themselves or the nation and its citizenry.

As half of the populace is content with the current state and trajectory of this nation and the other half is not, it is clear that these two populations can no longer maintain their increasingly fragile and potentially volatile relationship.  The United States is at that defining moment when one side has to win and the other lose; there is no middle ground.

There is no middle ground as this nation is beset with dichotomous ideological and societal differences that are irreconcilable as one side (blue America) is hellbent on defeating and subjugating the other (red America).

  • Blue America believes that the United States as founded is an irredeemable country whose history is rife with atrocities and unfairness.  Thus, the nation’s government must be converted into a one-party socialist oligarchy and its flawed founding documents effectively re-written.

Red America believes that the United States is a great country that has successfully overcome the human failings of its past citizenries.  It is vehemently opposed to any substantive changes to the nation’s founding documents.  It understands that the Constitution as written guarantees their freedoms and independence from an overbearing government.   There can be no compromise between the two sides on this the most fundamental tenet of this nation’s success and survival.

  • Blue America has abandoned virtually all morality in its single-minded pursuit of shallow hedonism, wealth, fame and power.  It is increasingly agnostic, it unabashedly promotes sexual exploitation and mutilation of children, it approves of abortion up to the point of birth and it justifies any immoral or unethical means to achieve its ends, among which is the coerced imposition of the religion of “wokeism”  upon the rest of society.

Red America believes in God, yet it recognizes that religion is not a necessity in understanding the importance of morality and living a moral and ethical life.  That morality is the underlying basis of a free society.  Without morality, and its emphasis on respect for life, freedom is extinguished.  These two diametrically opposed views of morality cannot co-exist for an extended period of time in the same society when one side is determined to subjugate the other.

  • Blue America promotes government-sponsored discrimination with the malevolent intent of fragmenting society into tribal allegiances in order to achieve permanent political hegemony.  It claims that racism is embedded in the nation’s DNA, which is solely the fault of the oppressive white population within red America.  This segment of society must, therefore, be scapegoated and discriminated against as retaliation for their supposed ongoing bigotry against Black Americans who are hapless victims of never-ending racism.

Red America represents the United Sates of 2005 that saw nearly 70% of Americans saying that race relations in this country were very or somewhat good.  These are the same people who are among the 77% of Americans in a recent poll who thought race relations were good in their community despite getting considerably worse nationally.  This dichotomy reveals that red America is not racist or roiled by so-called “white supremacy” and whose indignation and resentment toward blue America’s accusations and tactics is precipitously escalating.

  • Blue America is hell-bent on permanently eradicating the unalienable right of self-defense as codified in the Second Amendment as well as eliminating constitutionally protected freedom of speech and religion.  Its mindless determination to confiscate guns by any means possible and censor speech it does not approve of is unbound and unconstrained as it is willing to use government to enforce its will.

Red America is firm and unmoving in its belief that unalienable and constitutionally protected rights are non-negotiable and immutable.  The unabashed attempt at disarmament and censorship has had the effect of convincing over half of the American populace that these actions are a prelude to government’s willingness to use force against the citizenry to strip them of all their rights including fair and impartial justice.

  • Blue America is steeped in the belief that the ends always justifies the means.  As red America is the implacable enemy, it must be vanquished and its ashes strewn across the fields, thus, any means in doing so is acceptable and mandatory.   Elections are the primary field of battle and any level of voting fraud from manipulating and promoting mail-in ballots to ballot harvesting to mandating unattended drop boxes to passing unconstitutional voting law changes is a justified necessity.

Red America believes in honor and integrity and the sanctity of the ballot box.  It is not in their mindset to overtly and fraudulently manipulate the voting process.  In their naiveté they failed to understand their enemy and its determination to tyrannize them and transform the nation through unfettered illegal immigration and voter fraud.  It took the 2020 and 2022 elections to finally awaken red America.

The election in 2024 represents the last chance to defeat blue America at the ballot box and maintain the United States as founded.  If red America does not prevail in 2024 within a decade or two the United States will be impotent and unrecognizable.

There is a generational shift underway as the younger, woefully indoctrinated generations will evolve into increasingly dominant segments of the voting populace.  Post 2024, blue America will grant citizenship to 30-40+ million illegal immigrants and millions more through unfettered chain migration.  Further, they intend to permanently embed voter fraud and manipulation through federal legislation.  If they are not soundly defeated in 2024, this demographic change and these legislative initiatives will assure that blue America never loses a national election.

In order to win in 2024, the Republican Party must replace its entire leadership cadre.  Then they, the Libertarians, and conservatives must unite and acknowledge the dire situation facing the nation and that blue America is the enemy that must be defeated by any means possible.

Over the next 18 months they must plan and execute a viable strategy to offset voter fraud and manipulation.   The 2024 primary season needs to be relatively free of acrimony and divisiveness as the best person with a proven track record and near universal popularity who can win at least 280-300 electoral votes and has shown a willingness to successfully confront blue America must be nominated.

Red America will be faced with three options if it cannot win the presidency and control Congress in 2024.  First, it can meekly and unconditionally surrender, thus abetting the collapse of the United States.  Second, it can hope for a catastrophic depression wherein everyone will inordinately suffer and, thus, oust blue America from the corridors of power.  Third, the states controlled by red America can begin the process of a national divorce by refusing to live under the dictates of blue America.

The results of 2022 elections have exposed the reality of two Americas and that the 2024 election will be the most consequential in American history.

  1. @Reader Now, you failed to get MY sarcasm. And, my name ends with en, not an. Sebastien not Sebastien. Sometimes I miss being a Commie. First, Ted, then somebody else, then you. I can no longer say, “When the revolution comes….” 😀

    “America at a crossroads: Will voters embrace Trump again?
    The “Red Wave” that everyone thought would bring back the man with the red hat ended in barely a splash.”

    “I voted for Trump for President and would do it again because of his support for Israel, mainly, and Republican Joe Pinion for U.S. Senate this time round, for the same reason. But for NY statewide elections, I always vote Democrat, except for Attorney General, because my main bread and butter issues are healthcare and tenants rights and the Republicans don’t represent my interests or that of most New Yorkers in those areas.”

    New Senate bill seeks to add Part D options for PACE beneficiaries

    “New legislation aims to ensure that certain Medicare beneficiaries with chronic conditions could get a standalone Part D plan to help lower drug costs….

    The legislation, introduced Wednesday by Sens. Bill Cassidy, M.D., R-Louisiana, and Tom Carper, D-Delaware, focuses on seniors enrolled in the Medicare-Medicaid Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE). The goal of the program is to lower Part D premiums for such seniors, which get care for complex and chronic conditions that need long-term support.

    “This bill ensures patients in the PACE program have the same access to lower premiums and affordable prescription drugs that lead to better health outcomes as those in other Medicare programs,” said Cassidy in a statement.

    Currently, seniors on PACE must get the program’s Part D coverage for any drug costs, which can have an average monthly premium of $1,015, according to a release on the legislation. …”

    I disagree with you completely.

    Your philosophy, in fact, spares the Nazis from the complete condemnation they deserve.

    Germany’s and the Nazis’ reputation in this country is overly good as it is.

    I will use all the expressions I find appropriate with no regard to your censorship.

    If the American politicians treat the American elderly as though the elderly are useless eaters, then they are starting to act like the Nazis did, and the American elderly are being turned into the useless eaters like those in Nazi Germany.

    The next thing might be legalizing euthanasia, etc. – the elderly have been encouraged to participate in the “end-of-life counseling” for decades now.

    It is proper to call a spade a spade.

    @Reader

    after the initial shock value wears off, it leads people to take the Nazis less seriously andwith them, the Holocaust.

    I agree. We can make an argument stronger by saying what we mean without the use of the Nazi analogy. The use of this analogy is so overused in the wrong context that when it is used, even in the correct context, people simply ignore the argument being made.

  6. @Reader I got the sarcasm and the simile fits up to a point but the Nazis actually euthenized the congenitally disabled en mass even before they murdered 6 million Jews. As with vaccine comparisons, after the initial shock value wears off, it leads people to take the Nazis less seriously andwith them, the Holocaust. Holocaust minimization and relativization has replaced the harder to swallow Holocaust denial but it all winds up in the same place regardless of intentions. . Now, we have “climate denial”, “election denial”, etc.

  7. Wondering why Hochul gor elected? Wondering why I voted for her? Despite her awful policies on crime and her apparent corruption? By contrast:

    “Access to Newly Expanded Medicare Savings Program Benefits to Save Beneficiaries an Estimated Average of $7,000 Annually Starting In 2023…

    ‘…The Medicare Savings Program helps older adults and people with disabilities living on limited incomes by paying their Medicare Part B premiums – about $170 per month this year and $165 per month starting in 2023 – and automatically enrolls them in Extra Help. This financial assistance can be a lifeline for enrollees, allowing them to maintain their Medicare coverage, access needed care, and afford other necessities like food and rent.

    ‘Medicare Rights Center President Fred Riccardi said, “Starting in 2023, this historic change will help nearly 300,000 more New Yorkers access the vital benefits they need and help with the costs of daily living. It will directly increase an eligible person’s social security income by paying the full cost of the Medicare Part B premium. Medicare fall open enrollment is the time that people with Medicare can make unrestricted changes to their coverage options and we encourage everyone to be screened for the Medicare Savings Program and apply when eligible.”

    https://www.governor.ny.gov/news/governor-hochul-announces-expanded-assistance-income-eligible-medicare-beneficiaries

    “part of the budget, Governor Hochul and the New York State Legislature increased seniors’ eligibility for Medicaid and the Medicare Savings Program. For New Yorkers age 65 and up, the income limits will increase to 138 percent of the federal poverty level.Nov 4, 2022
    https://www.governor.ny.gov › news
    Governor Hochul Signs Executive Order to Create New York’s First-Ever Master Plan for Aging”

    “Historically, senior citizens and disabled people in New York have been subject to two restrictions on Medicaid eligibility: an income limit of roughly 84% of the federal poverty level ($11,200 for a single adult in 2021) and a limit on total assets of $15,900. (Some assets, such as residences, are excluded from the limit.)

    “…The Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, expanded Medicaid eligibility by raising the income limit to roughly 138% of the federal poverty level ($17,775 for a single adult in 2021) and removing asset limits for many Medicaid beneficiaries. But the ACA’s Medicaid expansion excluded people who were already eligible for Medicare — namely, seniors and disabled people. As a result, the lower income limit and the asset cap have remained in place for these groups.

    When individuals with incomes or assets beyond those limits turn 65 or become disabled, they lose their Medicaid status, and must instead enroll in Medicare, the federal government’s insurance program for senior citizens and disabled people.

    This means that they also lose the ability to access several categories of care that New York’s Medicaid program provides, but Medicare does not: hearing, vision, and dental care, and, particularly importantly for seniors and disabled people, home and long term care.

    Enrolling in both Medicare and Medicaid allows continued access to those services, but people covered by Medicare but not Medicaid must purchase pricey supplemental plans, which can cost thousands of dollars per year, a sum out of reach for individuals at or near the poverty line.

    This risk of low-income New Yorkers losing Medicaid coverage due to age or disability has been on hold since the federal government declared Covid-19 to be a public health emergency in January 2020, due to federal regulations preventing states from disenrolling Medicaid beneficiaries during the emergency.
    (Some assets, such as residences, are excluded from the limit.)

    Better not to use this term.

    Next time I’ll use quotation marks since people here don’t get the sarcasm.

  9. @Tanna

    please explain…… who are the useless eaters?

    Isn’t it obvious (maybe not to you because you are not one of the “servants of the people” who are, of course, never useless) – the useless eaters are the old people who outlive their usefulness when they reach that age when they become eligible for the so-called “entitlements” which they worked for and contributed to all their working lives!

  10. Of course, they have to take the money away from the useless eaters and hand it over to the wonderful, useful, and noble military-industrial complex!

    please explain…… who are the useless eaters? Democrats or OLD People?

  11. The Republican budget will dramatically cut spending on Medicare for new beneficiaries

    Of course, they have to take the money away from the useless eaters and hand it over to the wonderful, useful, and noble military-industrial complex!

    Oh, I didn’t notice – the article is from the American “Thinker”!

    Let the “red” America win, so everyone of us can starve to death! (Except for th politicians, of course)

  12. The Republican budget will dramatically cut spending on Medicare for new beneficiaries

    The Republicans (and a few Democrats) are MURDERERS.

    They are killing the original Medicare and substituting it with those fake HMO and PPO private Medicare “Advantage” plans, and their idiot subjects go for it for a few stupid perks.

    Actually, I better restate it – most politicians are thieves and murderers.

    And everyone’s favorite – Trump – started defunding Medicare and Social Security, and would continue to do so if reelected.

  13. “Reimbursements for doctors who see Medicare patients are set to be cut by up to 8.5% starting next year.
    Doctors warn cuts will prevent seniors from getting vital health services.
    A bipartisan group of congresspeople wrote a letter to congressional leadership asking them to intervene.

    The Republican budget will dramatically cut spending on Medicare for new beneficiaries by more than $2,200 per person per year starting in 2030, for instance, and by $8,000 in 2050, according to the Congressional Budget Office. ”

    “Although Republicans are staunchly opposed to increasing Medicare funding in general, as evidenced by the Republican Study Committee’s 2023 fiscal budget, paying doctors more tends to be where Congress can see some bipartisan compromise.

    As a voter, I feel pulled in opposite directions. Few of the media chatterboxes on either side are talking about this.

  14. I posted the following comment on the attached article:

    “I voted for Bush in 2004 and regretted it. I voted for Trump in 2016 and have not regretted it. DeSantis as president is an unknown. I’ve been voting in presidential elections since 1980 and I’ve voted for Democrats as well as Republicans. Trump is the first president who didn’t inspire me with ” buyers remorse.” He thought outside the box and solved America and Israel’s most pressing problems while promoting world peace under fire. All this broohaha about his style is a lot of nonsense and attacks on his integrity lies. He’s the first president in memory who left office poorer than when he went in. Most of them got rich through public office.”

    So far, it got 5 likes and one dislike

    “Do Republicans want to win in 2024? Dump Trump
    There are early signs that voters prefer DeSantis, who enjoyed a crushing re-election victory and hasn’t spewed wild conspiracies.Op-ed.

  15. I generally agree with the article. however, McCann said, “If red America does not prevail in 2024 within a decade or two the United States will be impotent and unrecognizable.” I cannot believe it will take more than one complete election cycle(4 years) by spring 2028 our fate will be sealed.

    Maybe, his middle choice in the last paragraph will save our nation. “Second, it can hope for a catastrophic depression wherein everyone will inordinately suffer and, thus, oust blue America from the corridors of power.”

    Those of us who have lived the prime of our life’s though the 60 – 70 – 80’s understand bleak hard times. One of the things that got us through; the greatest generation that raised us. Last week I made the comment to a friend, only eight souls where save in the Torah reading of Noah and the world’s population is 8 billion. Today, the UN has published we hit the number. Sad times ahead.

    Just as then now. Oppurtunites given, choices made!

  16. I know Americans haven’t been taught history since Ike was POTUS, but most people ought to remember the War between the States (1861-65). Some Americans decided they’d had enough crap from the Puritan/Abolitionist/Transcendentalist/Prohibitionist/anti-Catholic Yankees, and decided to declare their independence. The (true) Yankees were violent proto-Leftists, and, as such, they didn’t believe in letting people go off and do what they want. They knew how to make people behave. There’s a reason why knowledgeable Americans refer to our current time as the ‘Second Reconstruction’. Maybe you’d have to have grown up in a State that suffered through the First Reconstruction to get the comparison, but it’s true.

  17. Overwhelming importance of the 2024 election? Really? There will almost certainly be no 2024 election. We are rapidly sliding into a Leftist dictatorship that will bring an end to this nation as we know it. Should there actually be elections in November 2024, they will be stolen on a scale even greater than those of 2020 and 2022.
