Critics say Democrats lack concrete economic plans and will rather focus on investigations, impeachments, tax hikes and internal purges. progressive newcomers are challenging leaders like Jeffries and Schumer, risking intraparty conflict. Those battles and big-spending proposals could worsen affordability and strain teh republic. The column then mockingly lists absurd \u201cworse\u201d scenarios and notes Matt Kittle is a senior elections correspondent for The Federalist.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>One week after the blue typhoon, the buyer\u2019s remorse has yet to fully set in. But the euphoria of \u201csticking it to Trump\u201d will quickly fade as the fever dream voters who cast their ballots for \u201caffordability\u201d begin waking up to the reality.<\/p>\n<p>It will be a painful awakening. Kind of like the closing scene from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ahFARm2j38c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>The Graduate<\/em>,<\/a> when Benjamin \u201crescues\u201d the young bride Elaine from the church. They run from the ceremony and hop a city bus, Benjamin holding Elaine\u2019s wedding gown train as they exuberantly make their way through to the back seat. Their triumph slowly fades into anxiety as they silently process what they\u2019ve just done \u2014 and meet the uncertainty of what\u2019s next. <\/p>\n<p>Buyer\u2019s remorse will prove very expensive to those who voted and those who didn\u2019t in this month\u2019s midterm elections.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think that, first of all, people are going to realize that they [Democrats] really didn\u2019t offer any actual constructive ideas of how they were going to improve the economy,\u201d George Washington University Law professor Jonathan Turley <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EricLDaugh\/status\/2118167385467183338?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2118167385467183338%7Ctwgr%5E3f8aed8c53d1a8bff469e3976d2e6ad015641262%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&#038;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Ftownhall.com%2Fnews%2Famy-curtis%2F2026%2F11%2F05%2Fturley-buyers-remorse-n2685979\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">told<\/a> Sean Hannity. \u201cThe economy is actually doing very well; it\u2019s gasoline prices that really proved to be horrendous for this election. But the Democrats don\u2019t have much to offer here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Actually, the incoming legislative regime has plenty to offer: investigations, impeachments, tax hikes, attacks on law enforcement, gutting the Constitution. What they can\u2019t deliver, of course, is affordability, as they showed following the disastrous 2020 election. <\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><span><\/p>\n<blockquote data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<div lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<p>\ud83d\udea8 JUST IN: Legal expert Jonathan Turley says buyer&#8217;s remorse is about to sweep America after Democrats&#8217; blue tsunami because they will TURN TO IMPEACHMENT and WEAPONIZATION after nothing gets passed<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[DSA wing] will have oversize power in Congress.

Senators-elect Peggy Flanagan, Troy Jackson, Abdul El-Sayed, Juliana Stratton and Adam Hamilton have said they will not support the nearly 76-year-old Democrat\u2019s return as Majority Leader. Schumer thinks he has enough votes. If the establishment Democrats\u2019 rigging machine is humming like it so often has, he will.

The process includes some intermediary steps. First, the doomed is dragged by horse (the drawing) to the gallows where he is then hanged. But not until dead. You\u2019ve got to save some for the live disemboweling, the burning of the entrails, and then the eventual beheading. The quartering occurred when the lifeless body\u2019s limbs were each tied to a different horse and pulled apart as the steeds galloped in different directions. <\/p>\n<p>The sonic version of drawing and quartering is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/shorts\/VzlHNmW16gQ\">this<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>4.
