Chaos After Election Shocks: Musk’s WI Loss, FL Flip, and MAGA Backlash Threaten GOP Future?

The polit­i­cal upheaval fol­low­ing the April 1, 2025, elec­tions? Or all HYPE? Repub­li­cans are reel­ing after Elon Musk’s sig­nif­i­cant loss in the Wis­con­sin Supreme Court race to lib­er­al Susan Craw­ford, along­side a sur­pris­ing flip of a Repub­li­can strong­hold in Flori­da to blue. Democ­rats rev­el in the vic­to­ries, while social media influ­encers dis­miss the results as over­hyped. The episode high­lights a grow­ing MAGA back­lash, with the Trump-Musk gov­ern­ing style poten­tial­ly cost­ing the GOP Con­gress in 2026, evi­denced by two Flori­da spe­cial House race loss­es. In Geor­gia, “pre­tend MAGA” sup­port­ers cheer pub­licly but push con­ven­tion­al can­di­dates pri­vate­ly, while the GOP House melt­down over proxy votes for new moth­ers over­shad­ows Trump’s agen­da. Wisconsin’s vot­er ID amend­ment passed despite Crawford’s win, and Georgia’s SB30 allows puber­ty block­ers, alarm­ing con­ser­v­a­tives. Dubbed “Lib­er­a­tion Day,” the pod­cast also cov­ers Trump’s loom­ing trade war, with UK PM Keir Starmer plead­ing for lenien­cy, and Cory Booker’s record-break­ing 25-hour Sen­ate speech. From elec­toral data to glob­al impli­ca­tions, this episode unrav­els the GOP’s pro­posed pan­ic and the shift­ing polit­i­cal tide.

• Repub­li­cans are push­ing the pan­ic but­ton after yes­ter­day. The social media influ­encers are say­ing the elec­tions last night were no big deal. The democ­rats are gush­ing. The nar­ra­tive of the day Musk suf­fers major loss in WI race. Does Elon get back in the oval office, is some­one run­ning into the oval office warn­ing of Elon going back into the oval. Repub­li­can strong­hold in FL flipped blue, coun­ty seat. 
• The MAGA back­lash arrives. That’s a warn­ing to the GOP that the Trump-Musk gov­ern­ing style is stir­ring a back­lash that could cost them con­trol of Con­gress next year. All the more so giv­en the results in two spe­cial House races in Flori­da Tues­day to replace a pair of repub­li­cans. 
• In Geor­gia you have the pre­tend MAGA, they go to all the events and cheer. Then they go back behind closed doors and work to have con­ven­tion­al can­di­dates. They are look­ing at the data to claw back MAGA now. 
• Repub­li­cans are hav­ing anoth­er melt­down on the US House floor over hav­ing 
• We have no one get­ting arrest­ed, we are not issu­ing sub­poe­nas, we aren’t work­ing on Pres­i­dent Trump’s agen­da, and not work­ing on the 12 appro­pri­a­tion bills. WE are fight­ing over whether a new moth­er can have a proxy vote for the first six weeks after birth. 
• We have 80+ bills on the floor. There are 2 more days for the GA leg­isla­tive ses­sion and 2 more days for them to do more harm to geor­gians. GA SB30 is now gut­ted and allows these puber­ty block­ers to con­tin­ue being giv­en to kids. 
• Wis­con­sin Issue 1 required Vot­er ID amend­ment passed. 
• Craw­ford, the lib­er­al WI Supreme Court Jus­tice. Yet over­whelm­ing WI vot­ers approved vot­er ID amend­ment to state con­sti­tu­tion. Whether Craw­ford won or not, democ­rats and repub­li­cans want and don’t have a prob­lem with vot­er ID and we can go as far as Amer­i­cans want cit­i­zens to vote in our elec­tions. WI allows same day reg­is­tra­tion. It will be inter­est­ing to see how many new vot­ers showed up to reg­is­ter and vote on the same day. 
• Today is lib­er­a­tion day. Starmer is plead­ing with Trump to spare the UK from a trade war. The democ­rats are spend­ing out the memo to brace for the impact but if Trump will hold strong the world will buck­le. 
• All Cory Book­er did was get his name in the Guin­ness book of world records, he broke the record for the longest floor speech in sen­ate his­to­ry, 25 hours 4 min­utes. 
• As we are call­ing today Lib­er­a­tion day, Brad Raf­fensperg­er is call­ing it vin­di­ca­tion day. Is it a coin­ci­dence that Judge Toten­berg dis­miss­es the case just days before the elec­tion bills are sup­posed to go to the floor?
