Well, I hope you're all happy with yourselves. Apparently, you've all driven poor Donald Trump Jr. Off of social media. You see, Junior was expecting like many Republicans, a so-called red wave to roll across the nation on Tuesday evening. And of course that didn't happen. So on Tuesday, Donald Trump Jr. Of course, shared a photo on Instagram that said Happy Red Wave Day. And on Twitter, right as the first polls were closing, Donald Trump Jr. Tweeted out bloodbath. And then something remarkable happened. Silence. For days and days and days, Donald Trump Jr. Stayed away from social media, No frantic videos with his hands going crazy. No Instagram posts, no tweets, nothing. Radio silence from the man who predicted a bloodbath, the man who wished us all Happy Red Wave Day, totally gone. As if he didn't exist anywhere. He was shamed and humiliated to stay away from social media because voters across the country rejected his party, and more importantly, his father's choices for candidates.

Now, I imagine that's gonna take some time for him to process, right? Realizing that your poor, pitiful father is not in fact as powerful as he would like everybody to believe he is, because that's what we learned this week. That was really the big message, and that's why Donald Trump for many days now, has had absolutely nothing to say. But Junior is not the only one who, of course stayed away from social media. Lauren Bobert, after, of course, predicting a red wave herself on Tuesday, stayed off Twitter for 36 hours, which I'm pretty sure is a new record for her. Her last tweet, of course, was predicting the Red wave has begun. And then for a day and a half, not a single peep from Lauren Bobber until, of course, she reemerged on Thursday to tell everybody that she was mad about something MSNBC said about her.

Conservatives loved to dish it out, but man, they sure can't take it right. As soon as things immediately don't go their way, they either cry foul, as we've already seen. Lots of Republicans do, or they just turn tail and hide. And I think moments like this, of course, do show you the real content of somebody's character when you're predicting something to happen and then it doesn't happen. You don't go out there and just hide from the public and hope that they forget. Your hiding, your silence is what draws people more to what you said, a real person. You know

Somebody, somebody with convictions and somebody with a conscience would go out there and be like, Whoa, I screwed up. Look, trust me, I know in this business, things change all the time. We work in politics. It's unpredictable these days. We get things wrong. And the best part about it is getting to go back out there and be like, Whoa, man, I missed the mark on that. I incorrectly called Florida in 2020. I said, For sure Florida was gonna go for Biden. Man, I could not have been more wrong. And I've been even wronger every day since then about this state that is very clearly a red state. But we admit to our mistakes, Republicans literally run away and hide and hope that nobody notices their stupid and foolish behavior for which they will never apologize for. They will never issue a correction because they're so terrified of being wrong that they would rather disappear off the earth than have to admit they got it wrong.
