A year after promising viewers a “red tsunami” in the 2022 midterms, only to be left with egg on their faces after the GOP drastically underperformed, Fox News was once again wondering what went wrong after Democrats romped to victory in statewide elections on Tuesday night.

Despite recent polls showing President Joe Biden deeply underwater with voters and even losing to Donald Trump in several battleground states, the Democratic incumbent governor easily won victory over his MAGA-endorsed opponent in deep-red Kentucky. And over in Ohio, a state Trump won by eight points in 2020, voters overwhelmingly passed an amendment ensuring access to abortion care in the state’s constitution.

The continued drag that undoing Roe v. Wade has had on the GOP was especially apparent in Virginia, where Republican Gov. Glenn Youngkin had promised to implement a 15-week abortion ban if the GOP was able to gain unified control over the state’s General Assembly. Instead, not only were Youngkin’s hopes of a Republican sweep dashed, but the Democrats now control both chambers.

    What are you doing? Either use the slur without the censor, or don’t use it at all. If you censor you’re acknowledging that you know you shouldn’t be using it and then you decided to do it anyway. Either own it or be better, you can’t do both.

        Oh, that is not pedantry, that there is the advice that one can’t have it both ways and use a slur while at the same time insulting the reader’s intelligence by pretending “oh, I didn’t use a slur, I made that one letter look different.”
