(Opinion) Many people in the United States are upset about the economic disaster the country is going through, with an inflation rate of about 8.2%, expensive gasoline and diesel (especially in the smart cradle of California) and an unemployment rate of 3.7 %. rate in October -according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS)-.
Undoubtedly, the decline of the economy is one of the important issues of the campaign in the midterm elections that will be held this Tuesday, November 8, in which the 435 seats in the House of Representatives, 35 in the Senate, state legislatures and 36 governors. are for renewal.

But, apart from the family’s pocketbook, other issues have marked the public debate.
Such as abortion—especially after the conservative success in overturning Roe vs. the radical current of the Democratic Party.
One critical point does not go unnoticed: if the Republican Party wins this election, Donald Trump will have very well paved the way for his return to the presidency in 2024.
Meanwhile, knowing this, Joe Biden has not stopped injecting venom against the former president, the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement and the Republicans, identifying them almost vaguely as a mob that took “by storm” the Capitol on January 6. , 2021, as extremists and that today – he says – they also put “democracy” at risk.
This is what he said at the Columbus Club in Washington DC, this November 2:
“This is not an ordinary year. In an ordinary year, we would not normally be faced with the question of whether, by voting, we are preserving or endangering democracy. But this year, we are. So I ask you to think carefully about our moment.”
But those who are putting democracy, freedom of speech and religion at risk are, of course, the Democrats, every day more and more radicalized by imposing their progressive single-mindedness.
And that’s not to say that during the Biden administration, the FBI acted like a police agency of a banana republic being used as an instrument of political revenge after the raid on Trump’s residence in Mar-a-Lago, Florida, on August 8.
In search of suspected classified documents. Never before has such a thing happened to a former president in his family home.
But that’s not all from Hunter’s good dad (a guy who, by the way, had an assistant who was a spy for Chinese intelligence).
In Illinois, this November 5, Biden called demonstrators who held signs against socialism “idiots”.
The American president believes that he is not a socialist, but quite a few voices see him and his party as such and in an increasingly complex way.
I had a public conversation a few months ago about the Cultural Counter-Revolution with that country’s former ambassador to Mexico (during the Trump presidency), Christopher Landau.
He clearly said that the Democrats are making the left more difficult every day.
And he is right. Because what is voting for the Democratic Party today?
It is about the party that has in its ranks Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Bernie Sanders, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley, who have openly declared themselves as socialists and progressives and are part of postmodern Marxism.
The Democratic Party has a more positive view of socialism than capitalism.
Many factors, particularly the pro-globalist press and BigTech, have contributed to the fact that, according to a poll, among Americans aged 18-29, 51% had a favorable view of socialism, compared to 45% who had an idea positive for capitalism.
Americano Media – a Spanish-language American conservative media outlet – offered a synthesis in Dania Alexandrino’s space, Hablando de Frente, of what it means today to vote for the Democratic Party in general.
- An economy increasingly controlled by the state,
- more taxes;
- less freedom;
- building an all-powerful state, with individuals with less voice;
- the progressive-globalist mainstream media boom;
- the rise of Big Tech with an anti-conservative value agenda -read Christian-;
- cancellation culture;
- the use of police institutions to intimidate opponents (attack on Mar a Lago with the FBI);
- the agenda of postmodern Marxism;
- progressive supremacism (feminist, LGBT, black, eco-animalist supremacism);
- awakened revolution, push for single thinking;
- anti-capitalism;
- abortion;
- the destruction of the family;
- promoting the homosexual lifestyle;
- gender ideology;
- sexual indoctrination and awakening from the early school years;
- Critical race theory;
- definition of police;
- Ideological affinity with Antifa and Black Lives Matter.
And this whole mass package of ultra-left, progressive ideology and public policy is, in many ways, along with the crisis in the household economy, the reason why more than a few of the 60 million Hispanics living in the Land of the Stars and Stripes are they are afraid of what the Democratic Party has become.
They were generating #hispanexit or #latinexit: don’t vote for this establishment to vote for the Republican Party, much more in line with the values of Hispanic Americans, who are Christians and family and work people.
In the United States, 75.5% of this population are Catholic Christians.
It is no longer the party of donkey symbolism favored by Hispanics who miraculously demand to fix their immigration status because it is known not to do so.
It is now a leftist institution that goes against faith, the natural family and life from conception, encourages sexual indoctrination from early childhood and normalizes the harmonizing of pubescent boys, moving dangerously towards transsexuality.
Even in a poll by such a progressive leftist, globalist, pro-democracy media as the New York Times, in collaboration with Siena College, the results showed that 49% of voters this November 8 lean in favor of the Republican Party. , and 4 points down, 45% prefer “bulls”.
So the advantage could see the GOP (Grand Old Party, i.e. the Republican Party), especially MAGA, regain the majority in the House and Senate.
That would be their ideal scenario.
For its part, CNN — the pinnacle of anti-Trump, progressive, globalist supremacism — found in its national poll released Nov. 2 some pretty negative points that pour water on the Democratic Party:
- Only 17% strongly approve of Biden’s performance, while 47% strongly disapprove of him;
- 61% of likely voters ensure that this president has not paid adequate attention to the real problems of the American people.
A 51% -after the results of CNN- think that the central issue of the mid-term is the economy (we have already seen in what a miserable state it is). A devastating 72% of likely voters say things are going badly or very badly in the United States.
Abortion, and especially the Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade, deserves a mention of its own, as it has become the number one issue in this strange election.
A poll conducted by Axios in the second half of September shows how many abortionists enraged by the reversal of this crime against unborn babies and motivated by the goal to continue aborting millions of babies are turning out to vote.
Who thinks so?
Above all, 69% of them support the Democratic Party and 62% of blacks. In this poll, Hispanics and Republicans are at the other extreme.
This confirms the pro-GOP bias and that the left has nothing more on their minds and agendas than abortion, which they put above jobs and everything else.
As for the governorships, it should be remembered that those 36 entities are at stake: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Maryland , Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Wisconsin and Wyoming.
Most polls show a lead of about 23 Republican candidates in these positions.
There is something else working in favor of the Republican Party in this election: the midterms, in virtually all cases historically, are lost by the party in power.
Barack Obama lost 63 seats in the House of Representatives in 2010, going from 256 to 193 for the donkey party. Then, the African-American president in 2014 lost 13 seats in the House of Representatives, going from 201 to 188.
The only exception was Trump, who in 2020 did not lose anything, but gained two more seats in the Senate, going from 51 to 53 seats.
As it is, Biden and his smart friends seem desperate. Obama is also campaigning for his party.
And as the icing on the cake, a globalist, progressive supremacist, even Malthusian figure could not be missing as the main donor in this race, with 120 million dollars: none other than George Soros, The world’s biggest pro-abortion promoter of illegal immigration.
But even so, the Democrats seem to have no escape. Everything indicates that the so-called “Red Tsunami” (as Elise Stefanik, representative of the House of Representatives, NY) called it because of the color of the Republicans, will reshape the face of the United States, making it more conservative. and respect for life, family and the economy.
This at a much more significant, more influential, deeper and more lasting height than what the Supreme Court reached with the abolition of abortion in recent times.
