We all realize and know by now that the Republican party won the midterm elections for 2014 , won both houses of congress , secured many governing positions in many States , clearly rendering them the governing real power more or less across most of the country .
Next !!! what is their real agenda , their concrete strategic policies for the future and advancement of the country . We all understand that most if not all campaign slogans and advertisement efforts were simply tactical little games , for the sole purpose of igniting the electorates .
One inspired Republican aspirant , for example was calling for the abolition of the minimum wage , in trying to oppose the proposed hike in minimum wages proposed by the administration and many Democrats . Some other campaign advertisements and slogans were not less strange and unrealistic . But most of these , strictly for campaign purposes , proved to be useful as winning tools in a more than ever divided country , politically and economically , widening the margins between the different American classes and the few super rich , individuals and corporations .
Some further analysis lead one to conclude that the general traditional Anglo Saxon constituency , is steadily and stubbornly drifting back into its historical traditional conservatism , and these are served best by the Republican propaganda machine .
Let's admit though , that too many discouraging events took place affecting American lives and psyche for the past 14 years , terrorism , wars that were unworkable and not winnable , fundamental Islamism that is increasingly threatening our way of life , some very intransigent allies that are constantly undermining our interests in many regions , a black president as well as a possible Musslem according to many. Policies and adventures demanding higher taxes to fund and cover , and an economically harsh meltdown resulting in a diminished market for better paying jobs and positions .
We all genuinely agree though, that we are steadily progressing to better state of affairs and levels , if not presently enjoying the best times of the past 12 years .
When back in 1969 , Gen. De Gaull , the French super hero , the savior and creator of modern France , lost office to a humiliating electoral defeat , the French invented then , the theory of electorate tiredness , the people being drained , bored and dulled of the actual state of affairs , irrelevant of how good or bad it is , the want to change at any coast , with no real rational explanations , I believe something of the sort is taking place in this country as well .
The reasons for massive Republican win over , will be debated and argued by many future historians . The main questions now remain , are the republicans , their Tea Party associates , and some of their very angry extreme right leaning newcomers , are all these different legislators a sufficiently coherent force to govern , to legislate , and lead the country and its future in the right direction ?? Or are we going to live some further indecisive wishy washy few years to come , filled with lots of governing experiments and adventurism .
Let's not turn our whole political scene and future , strictly into efforts of futility , destruction of the actual president and his administration , exorcism and grandiose dreams of impeachments or other , but look into the real needs of our nation , its youth , and future needs of infrastructures and stability . Only then the American peoples can ascertain that a good thing came out of their electoral decisions and the elections results in general.
A not so comfortable political situation and divide America is living nowadays, thanks for your attention .
