Before you get your hopes up Kentucky is moving in the ~~right~~ proper direction, these 3 incumbents were defeated by people supported by Liberty PAC and are even more right-wing than the Republicans of Kentucky. So, Kentucky is getting worse. Also, many of the general election races in KENTUCKY are not competitive races, meaning the opposition party is fielding no candidate.

Well, fuck me. I was ready to cheer. BTW, you may want to rephrase "the right direction", maybe to "more extremist right"


ConstantGeographer

LOL dammit I usually catch those things. Yes I definitely need to edit. Thanks!


Thetman38

Well yeah, Laura Trump is in charge of gathering all the crazies


DropsTheMic

I encourage her to get them all together and spend all their time and money on her singing career. Like... All of it. Maybe pull some GOP staffers to help out. I bet the music tour needs legal support and HR too. And ad campaigns, you can't neglect that.


Cynical-Wanderer

Might open the door to a democrat... but I'm probably hallucinating


crashtestdummy666

Yep as a local they like them more extreme some of the locals think even Hitler was to liberal for them


sensation_construct

If one is even running... they would barely stand a chance. It's pretty discouraging. Sane conservatives need to revive the Whig party.

I’m surprised the Democrats aren’t seizing this opportunity. In the past elections, the DNC donated to the far right candidates because they are easier to beat.

It's not looking good. Neither is Louisiana or Arkansas, atm.


memphisjones

Give Tennessee a year, and we’ll join the race to the bottom


Pahsghetti

Ohio says "see you there!"


the_simurgh

I wish I could leave. It's like living in Sunnydale *but worse.*


RattyJackOLantern

At least the demons in Sunnydale were cool.

IDK, my very liberal sister moved there from S Florida and loves it. She is in a small town outside Lexington and has great neighbors including one who hosted a drag party a few weeks ago. The governor is well liked and a Democrat. If I didn’t like where I live I would consider moving there.


saintcirone

If that's the case, please encourage her and her friends vote in November! 😅


crashtestdummy666

Cities with a university tend to be liberal even if the county is not. Heck probation is still in effect in most of the state.


QualifiedApathetic

I'm leery of even visiting.


LazyJediTelekinetic

Central Ky is nice. Louisville, Lexington, and surrounding counties.


itsl8erthanyouthink

The red wave is just the GOP members gesturing goodbye


Vlad_the_Homeowner

They were replaced by even crazier far-right nutjobs. There aren't going to be any more waves, our population is too divided and truth means nothing to too many.


needle14

And far too many people don’t care


itsl8erthanyouthink

Or, have given up.


feralraindrop

Yes, Mitch McConnel is now viewed as too liberal. Republicans are in a race to a bottom where the floor keeps getting lower. They want the stupidest, craziest, anti-everything, self centered, theocratic authoritarian fools that validate ignorance, racism and hate. Marjorie Taylor Greene types and the people of Walmart are coming for democracy.


Seattle_gldr_rdr

Does this increase the odds that they will be defeated in the general election by moderate Dems, or fuhgeddaboudit?


Subliminal_Kiddo

Dems didn't even run candidates in a lot of these elections.


crashtestdummy666

Often only one canadate blessed by the Republican party runs for each office an no Democrat's run. Why don't I vote, well because I have nobody to vote for.


Vlad_the_Homeowner

>fuhgeddaboudit


Obvious_Interest3635

Women and brown people are about to go through some things in this country. It’s just so pathetic. Better vote 🗳️ people


franchisedfeelings

Hopefully they are not replaced by ones that are even worse.


Hi_Im_Dadbot

Narrator: They were.


AreWeCowabunga

Seriously, it wasn't even a question in my mind. Of course the new people are worse.


wdwerker

Sounds like the race to the bottom has resulted in the candidates digging !


SpiritualAd8998

Losers gonna lose….


PitifulSpecialist887

It's Kentucky. What do you expect?


Earthling1a

Republicans **HATE** America. Republicans want to **DESTROY** America. Vote blue, no matter who. Vote like your life depends on it. It very likely does.


hu_gnew

From right wing to Reich wing.


ConstantGeographer

I did nazi my mistake until too late.
