CHRISTIAN TOTO: How Hollywood Helped Fuel Tuesday’s Blue Tsunami.

Bruce Springsteen didn’t tip the Election Day scales for the Democrats.

Nor did Macklemore, Jimmy Kimmel or Mark Ruffalo.

No single progressive artist made a difference in the beating Republicans took Tuesday night. No, the matter is far more complicated, but we can’t ignore the role Hollywood had in the election results.

Call it a collective approach, one that aligned key cultural forces together with one goal above all else.

Progressive power.

JEN VAN LAAR: Vance’s Explanation for the GOP’s Midterm Disaster Is a Little Too Neat and Tidy. “In Vance’s estimation, the GOP has lost the Senate for six years as a result of this election — which could end up being true, but is a very bold prediction to make today — and blames that on people who supported taking out the mullahs, many of whom are not neocons. There’s a solid core of Gen X conservatives who have wanted the mullahs handled for a very long time, in large part because of how many members of our generation were killed, maimed, or suffer from debilitating PTSD because of Iran’s support of terrorism for the last 47 years.”

Vance’s post read to me like a power play against the Rubio-Hegseth wing of the administration.

INDEED: Meh. 2008 Was Worse. “This morning, the customary bleating and gloating of the Democrats just isn’t bothering me as much as I thought it would. First of all, I learned long ago to stay off social media when something upsetting happens, and this is a great time to do that. And second, the narrative from the left-media is actually kind of hilarious, when you look at how hard they’re puffing themselves up.”

WHAT DO COMMUNISTS, CIVIL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS, FLAG BURNERS, ANTIWAR PROTESTORS, AND NEO-NAZIS HAVE IN COMMON? At different moments in American history, civil libertarians went to extraordinary lengths to defend their right to speak. FIRE EVP Nico Perrino’s new book tells their story.

Getting rid of Hegseth would be a real win for the Swamp.

PERSPECTIVE:

HISTORIC? Grover Cleveland lost 110 House seats, Hoover lost 102, FDR lost 81 and 7 Senate seats. Truman lost 12 Senators, Ike lost 13. Clinton lost 9 Senators. Bush 2006 lost 6 Senators and 30 House. Obama lost 9 Senate seats in 2014, 63 in House.

So spare me all the HISTORIC.

But there’s also this followup from Caputo: “This Congress will be the most radical in American history. They will blow it, but a lot of innocent GOP families will be destroyed in the process.”
