Going against the grain, filmmaker and political activist Michael Moore predicts that Democrats will retain control of Congress with a “blue tsunami” in the midterm elections. A week after the event, Moore, who, as will be remembered, predicted the victory of Donald Trump in 2016 against many polls that affirmed the opposite, now anticipates a “Democratic wave” after the decision of the Supreme Court to revoke the right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade.
“On November 8, 2022, an unprecedented tsunami of voters will descend en masse upon the polls, and will nonviolently, lawfully, and mercilessly eliminate every last stinking traitor to our democracy,” he wrote in the introduction to Mike’s Midterm Tsunami of Truth, a website where he posts his comments and reflections on the subject daily. He calls it a “series to counter reports that Republicans are going to win the House and Senate.”
Moore has spoken out against the established wisdom that a sitting president’s party always does poorly in a midterm election, an idea that, he says, can “get into the head of the average American” when hammered home.
In his forecast, he is especially critical of the media, which, he maintains, “is too busy pushing the old narrative that the Democrats will lose. Don’t believe it. They’re so focused on predicting the odds that they’ve lost sight of the issues, and most of them are on our side,” Moore said.

In an interview with Guardianthe filmmaker cited recent cases in which conventional political narratives did not work, including the victory in Alaska of Mary Sattler Peltola (D), who defeated Republican candidate Sarah Palin and became the first representative from this state in the Camera.
“If I had told them [hace seis meses] that the congressional election in Alaska, a hard red state, would be won not just by a Democrat but by a Democrat American-Alaskan Native, they would again have to wonder if I was crazy,” Moore said.
According to the director, accepting the idea that “the polls have skewed in favor of the Republicans would imply truly believing that” female fury over the Roe decision vs. Wade has decreased. According to this narrative, the women were angry and upset at first, but then calmed down and regained their composure upon realizing that the cost of a dozen eggs and the price of a gallon of gasoline was much more important than having their own control. absolutely on his body.
“The men who own and run the media,” she says, “have no idea how outraged the vast majority of women are because they’ve been thrown back into their faces as second-class citizens. Congress is still in the hands of men and 426 of the Fortune 500 companies are run by men. Women will never be paid the same as men. The lowest paid jobs are and will always be women as long as the patriarchy says so or until it is crushed.
“They also tell us that women have been able to put aside their emotions and now wake up every morning obsessing over the price of gasoline. Men who think like this are either just stupid or they know very well that they must depress the Democratic vote next week by getting enough of you to believe that women now vote Republican.”
Moore argues that an indication of the “coming tsunami of women” is early voting in Georgia, which has already set a new record. Here, she says, is the bad news that the patriarchy is not reporting. “Of those who have already voted, 55% are women and 45% are men. A huge difference of 10 points! And the men who have been telling us non-stop for the last two weeks that the Republicans are going to win, causing so much desperation among liberals, well, these men don’t even see the 100-foot wave of women coming.”
To believe the polls that claim the American people want Republicans to run our Congress, the same Congress where 147 of those Republicans voted to unseat Joe Biden’s election, then one must also believe that the 7 million people he won for Biden have now been convinced that Biden has gone senile and that there must be something wrong with Hunter Biden’s laptop.
“Well, these men are about to find out just how powerful women are and that, in fact, they haven’t forgotten for a second how Catholic Supreme Court mullahs defecated on top of them on June 24. Show the Male Domination Party what real justice and justifiable revenge look like. I can’t wait to witness it.”
