The election

November 9, 2026/0 Comments/in Featured Articles/by Kevin MacDonald

I understand those on our side who were hoping that Republicans got obliterated. And of course, they did. The GOP is indeed evil and hasn’t done anything for White America. I was enthusiastic about Trump in 2016 because of America First foreign policy, which included ending foreign wars, and his promises on immigration (“Paris isn’t Paris anymore”; “Mexico is not sending their best.”) These messages, which were essentially the same in 2024, carried him to a second term.

Trump 2, despite his good intentions and some progress on immigration and deportation (although he now seems to be backsliding on illegals), has been a complete failure—his immigration policies hamstrung by leftist opposition and the sheer scale of the problem given the many millions who were let in by previous administrations, especially under Mayorkas/Biden. And he has continued the war in Ukraine and, most importantly, succumbed to Netanyahu’s bidding, resulting in a disastrous war with Iran which has caused inflation, thus giving Democrats a decisive talking point on affordability. J.D. Vance was exactly right:

I hope that Trump is impeached and that Vance could build a winning coalition in 2028 that brings back what MAGA was all about in the first place: No wars for Israel, no immigration leading to citizenship (contract work is fine), and deporting illegals. But Trump has far too big an ego for that, and I think the Democrats would prefer that he twist in the wind for 2 more years so his lying persona and disastrous foreign policy will be front and center in 2028 and doom the Republicans again. The rabidly pro-war Hegseth may well be the sacrificial lamb.

I certainly didn’t want the election to vindicate Trump’s war with Iran, but the results were far more than that. What we are left with is a disaster for White America. Anyone hoping for a surge in White people voting as a block to further their interests as Whites should be extremely depressed. Even if the GOP completely righted itself by 2028, it’s virtually impossible that they could take back the senate given that the Democrats flipped 7 seats and could flip two more where results are still being counted (Alaska and Mississippi—both that were solidly Republican). In 2028 there will be only 15 Democrat seats up for election, many in states that are solidly blue.

The results as compiled by The New York Times showed (perhaps surprisingly) that White voters cast 70 percent of the votes, results showing that Whites could still take back the country if they were on the same page, even subtracting Jews (69% Democrat), Muslims (86% Democrat) and others often counted as White but not identifying as White and leaning Democrat. But in the 2026 midterms, Whites split 51 to 47 for the GOP—much lower than previous split of 57–42 in 2024 and 58–40 in 2022 favoring the GOP and nowhere near the level needed to overcome the overwhelmingly Democrat non-White vote (Black: 91 percent; Hispanic: 79 percent; Asian: 71 percent; Other: 59%).

What this suggests is that returning to a MAGA-like GOP majority is possible but that the Trump-Israel war and consequent inflation essentially destroyed these patterns. Trump betrayed his own constituents on behalf of Israel, and he and his party paid the price.

The scary part is that this could be permanent. Absent a huge and unlikely wake-up by White America. the long-predicted permanent majority of White liberals and non-Whites can and likely will dominate American politics. I had predicted that Whites would increasingly coalesce into a White voting bloc as Whites feel more threatened by negative effects of immigration and multiculturalism, and they seemed to be doing so. But that trajectory completely halted and reversed in this election. It’s not happening, and that’s very bad.

As many have noted, the big issue was affordability which was impacted directly by Trump’s war of choice with Iran. Simply continuing the Ukraine war would not likely have alienated Trump voters, and Democrats are fine with it. But any informed voter knew that Trump acceded to Netanyahu’s demands (whether by Epstein-related blackmail or ego-stroking) and that this caused inflation due to higher energy costs. It’s horribly disappointing because the 2o24 election gave hope that the Israel-first foreign policy would end. But it continued and raised costs for all Americans, producing an economy that is completely dysfunctional for young people (Whites 18-29: 60%-38% Democrat). Medicare and Social Security protect older voters from much of the economic malaise, and older Whites (65+) still voted Republican (55%-45%).

We see the usual gender patterns for Whites: White men 56%-43% Republican; White women 57%-42% Democrat. Marriage and children usually make women more conservative, but I couldn’t find those data.

It’s unlikely to get any better. Young non-Whites voted 84%-15% Democrat. They are the future majority and they tend to wear that anti-White attitudes as a badge of honor.

So we can expect to see open borders once again, more anti-White rhetoric and anti-White discrimination in the workplace, campaigns to eliminate the electoral college, Medicare for all (and the massive deficits and inflation that would produce), and much else. There will likely be less overt government support for Israel (Trump rescinded the usual $3.8 billion/year–not including weapons for Israel’s genocide, but the bill to virtually merge the U.S. and Israeli military intelligence is still on the table). AIPAC will adopt a much lower profile, as it did in the 2026 election, while continuing to encourage Jewish donors to support pro-Israel candidates.

However, even if politicians trended against Israel, it’s well known that the CIA basically operates outside of Congressional and even presidential oversight, and it is very much pro-Israel. It would take a very long and determined project to undo the power of the Israel Lobby.

Meanwhile, the vision of the Jewish activists that brought us the 1965 immigration law is rapidly coming to fruition as the solidly White United States of the 1950s is a distant memory.
