Loomer Warns America Is Over After Democratic Midterm Gains
Trump ally Laura Loomer responded to Democrats’ gains in the November 3 midterm elections with a series of posts declaring the country was in decline. She said Democrats had taken control of both chambers of Congress and described the result as the end of America.
Across a stream of posts on X, Loomer warned that political violence and terrorism were coming and urged Americans to focus on their families, stockpile food and firearms, and stay vigilant. She also argued that prayer would not prevent what she characterized as an Islamic and communist takeover.
Loomer criticized Sen. John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, after he congratulated Democratic Senate winner James Talarico and offered to help with his transition. She also rejected Trump’s stated willingness to work with Democrats, arguing that they wanted to harm him and his supporters. She called on Trump to take a more aggressive approach during the next two years of his administration.
Her posts drew criticism from Harrison H. Smith, an Infowars host, who blamed her and others for the Republican losses. Loomer responded by attacking him. A separate account of the night said she published 97 posts as Democrats made sweeping gains and noted that Trump had praised her during a campaign appearance in Alabama.
Loomer’s Election-Night Fury Shows the Stakes of Trump’s Politics
Democrats’ midterm gains brought a stark response from Laura Loomer, a Trump confidante: she declared America finished, warned of coming political violence and told followers to stockpile firearms and food. Her reaction underscored the alarmist politics surrounding Trump’s movement as voters handed control of both chambers of Congress to Democrats.
Loomer portrayed the result as an Islamic and communist takeover, and said prayer could not stop it. She also attacked Sen. John Cornyn for offering to assist Democratic Senate winner James Talarico with his transition, and rejected Trump’s stated intention to work with Democrats.
Her call for Trump to be more vengeful and to purge the left stands in sharp contrast to his expressed willingness to cooperate for the country’s good. Loomer’s rhetoric turns an election result into a warning of violence and national ruin, rather than accepting the voters’ choice and the normal work of a congressional transition.
Even on the right, her response drew blame: Infowars host Harrison H. Smith said she and others had cost Republicans the midterms. Loomer fired back at him.
Democratic Gains Trigger Loomer’s Dire Warning About America’s Future
Democrats’ takeover of both chambers prompted Laura Loomer, a close Trump ally, to issue a grim warning: she said America was finished and that political violence and terrorism were coming. Her posts reflected the stakes she sees in the election result, which she portrayed as a threat to the country’s future.
Loomer urged Americans to protect their families, stay vigilant and stockpile food and firearms. She also warned that prayer would not stop what she called an Islamic and communist takeover. She criticized Sen. John Cornyn for offering to help Democratic Senate winner James Talarico through his transition.
President Trump said he looked forward to working with Democrats for the country’s good. Loomer rejected that approach, arguing that Democrats wanted to harm Trump and his supporters, and called for him to take a more forceful stance in the next two years. Her position presents cooperation with the new majority as dangerous, not as a response to voters’ decision.
Loomer’s reaction also drew criticism from within the right. Infowars host Harrison H. Smith blamed her and others for the Republican losses, and she responded by attacking him.
