Should We Vote In The 2026 Midterms?

“NS” activists have been chiming in on X.

They think the Gavin Wax situation is a compelling reason not to vote in the 2026 midterms. They think this incident justifies their depressive, blackpilled JQ-centric worldview.

Daily Mail:

“The White House has descended into chaos after a top administration official was accused of leaking racist text messages sent by his Republican rivals.

The damaging leak exploded onto the national stage on Tuesday after Politico obtained 2,900 pages including texts which showed top brass at the New York State Young Republican Club calling black people monkeys and praising Adolf Hitler. 

Gavin Wax, a State Department staffer, allegedly orchestrated the takedown of his former colleagues at the conservative club, insiders told the Daily Mail.

Senior White House figures urged Wax to retract his leak last week as word of Politico’s scoop spread, according to four Republican officials familiar with the situation.

An explosive affidavit from Michael Bartels, another Trump administration official, was delivered by Republican Party chiefs to the White House Office of Political Affairs on October 7. It accused Wax of blackmailing him to obtain the leaked group chat. …”

My first thought on this is that it has nothing to do with us.

In the 2026 midterms, we will all be voting (or not voting) in state, local and federal elections for people to represent us in our states. This internal drama among young conservatives in New York over a racist group chat on Telegram is irrelevant to how we have been and will be governed in Alabama.

What sense does it make to be angry at Gov. Kay Ivey or Sen. Tommy Tuberville or the Alabama state legislature or, say, the county sheriff because of Gavin Wax? Normal White people aren’t manic depressive activists who look for any excuse to cede power to their political enemies. The vast majority of White people will vote (or not vote) based on their perceptions of their own representatives. Everyone will have a different ballot in the midterms and will be voting (or not voting) for different people.

In my case, I am thrilled about the imminent demise of the Voting Rights Act, which impacts the Black Belt more than any other region of the country. Outsiders don’t realize that large swathes of the rural and small town South like west Alabama, southwest Georgia or the Mississippi Delta have been under black majority rule in DEI districts for decades. The Voting Rights Act created a revolution in Southern politics which transferred power from the most hardcore segregationists in the region to blacks aligned with White Northern liberals. It destroyed cities like Selma which became a national symbol of White guilt. “Civil Rights Icon” John Lewis marched over the Edmund Pettus Bridge until his death in 2020.

Just a few years ago, Alabama’s Second Congressional District, which is my congressional district, was redrawn to create a second DEI district in Alabama to increase the number of black Democrats in the House. We are now represented by Rep. Shomari Figures because of how John Roberts and Brett Kavanaugh voted in Allen v. Milligan (2023) which forced Alabama to redraw its House map. A similar case in Louisiana which forced Louisiana to create a second DEI district is how we got Louisiana v. Callais which is now before the Supreme Court and is poised to topple Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. If the Voting Rights Act falls in 2026, it will unleash a counterrevolution in Southern politics because much of the Congressional Black Caucus will be gerrymandered out of existence.

Alabama Republicans also passed the CHOOSE Act in 2024 which is equally important. It creates refundable income tax credits which helps parents afford private school tuition for their children and get them out of majority black public schools. Needless to say, I have three children now and two younger children who will be starting school in a few years and being able to afford their education matters far more than any other issue, especially those which do not concern my state or impact my life. The activists who repeat thought killing cliches like “there is no political solution” are ignoring how Southern Republicans are succeeding in finding ways around the Brown decision, how the Voting Rights Act is being undermined and how the whole narrative of the Civil Rights Movement is losing its grip.

It feels weird writing the GOP is “divided” over how to respond to racism, but that is where we are now in 2025. It has been trending that way for years. I remember when the Senate didn’t struggle to unanimously condemn White Nationalism after Charlottesville in 2017.

Politico:

“NEW YORK — When POLITICO approached Rep. Elise Stefanik this month with hate-filled messages from the same Young Republicans she backed and bankrolled for years, her condemnation was swift and full-throated.

Hours after the story published — and just minutes after Vice President JD Vance derided criticisms of the chat as “pearl clutching” — Stefanik pivoted to attacking Democrats. She derided POLITICO’s story as a “hit piece” and those across the aisle raising alarm about it as “hyperventilating.” …”

Twenty years ago, George W. Bush and House and Senate Republicans voted unanimously to renew the Voting Rights Act. When I graduated from Auburn in 2005, it was unthinkable that Vice President Dick Cheney would publicly defend shitposters in a racist group chat or that much of the conservative movement would rally in their defense and take their side. Granted, there are still people who engage in pearl clutching about racism, but the culture of young conservatives has radically changed. These sentiments are no longer confined to underground messageboards like Stormfront.

“NS” activists look for any excuse to give up, to throw in the towel and not to engage in political activity. It is incredible when you think about it. We live in a time when we are finally beginning to reap the harvest of seeds that were sown twenty to thirty years ago. “Antifascism” has been defined as domestic terrorism. The refugee resettlement program is being changed to bring in White people. The Voting Rights Act is on its last legs. The racist community is powerful enough to drive the national conversation. There are lots of positive and surprising things happening like the Jewish Question going mainstream. Even this story about Gavin Wax ratting out his colleagues reaffirms all the Jewish stereotypes.

“NS” has a culture of losing though. It seems to attract depressed people who are quitters and losers. They all have a negative attitude. They are fragile and incapable of handling setbacks. It is the right philosophy for miserable people who want to have no success in politics. Your philosophy in life determines your values and attitude and those things determine your actions and results. This is why I refuse to associate historic National Socialism with “NS.” The original movement in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s had a will to power – think Leni Riefenstahl’s Triumph of the Will – while what calls itself “NS” is the most depressive, blackpilled shit on the internet populated by activists who act like Jews are omnipotent.

Finally, we are over a year out from the 2026 midterms. I’m not even sure who will be on the ballot in my state. I will decide whether I am voting and who I support a month or two before the election. This is what I have always done. There are a lot of things that could happen over the next year.

  1. Hopefully there is an undercurrent of White racial consciousness rising in the ranks of younger Republicans. Here in Virginia we are having statewide elections. The Democrats aren’t worth even mentioning obviously, but the Republican ticket is a black woman immigrant for Governor, for Lieutenant Governor
    a White openly homosexual (the first one in Virginia history to ever run for statewide office) who has a black lover (he is also the most right wing candidate running) and a hispanic for attorney general and the local delegate candidate is a Indian not sure if he is first generation or second.

      Here in Alabama, I have been concerned that former Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl was going to run for Tommy Tuberville’s Senate seat. Pearl is a notorious Zionist. Fortunately, it hasn’t happened yet, but that would be a bridge too far
