Things are not going great in Trump World. In New York, MAGAts are reeling from Benedict Donald's rapturous reception of NYC Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani on Friday. And Elise "Elsie" Stefanik has been forced to double-down on her "jihadist" Mamdani comment after Trump brushed it aside. How simply frightful! How humiliating! How delightful!
Over the weekend, Trump even started dressing like Zohran. Or, as an interwebs wag tweeted, like an old gay man who owns an art gallery on the Upper West Side. (Don't tell Donald. He'll be furious.)
Meanwhile, down in Virginia, the Republicans are imploding.
It's been interesting to watch the repercussions from Election Day 2025 as they spread through the world of politics. After the initial big shock, the little shocks keep coming — mostly culminating in name-calling and paw-pointing (we cats don't have fingers).
Right now the Virginia GOP is doing all of the above, skewering outgoing Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin for endorsing such a weak candidate to succeed him, and flattening fundraising by his ham-handed handling of the John Reid affair. Party chairs at the county level have issued blistering criticisms of campaign communications and the lack of logistical support at the grass roots. You love to see it.
You can try to say Virginia wasn't a true bellwether because of the large numbers of federal employees who live there. But the problem for the Republicans is that the Democratic wave happened everywhere else on November 4, too: in New Jersey, Georgia, Pennsylvania, and even Mississippi. Democrats captured a whole boatload of school-board seats across the country as well. People are not happy with Trump.
Donald and the GOP have only about 11 months to try to turn everything around. It doesn't look good for them. We cats PURR.
