If Americans who love America sit home on Election Day 2026, the people who hate America will be in control in January 2027.
That is not a slogan. That is the calendar. The House is sworn in the first week of January. Governors and mayors already sworn in do not leave because you meant to vote. Sit home, and you hand them the gavel.
New York City, Virginia, and New Jersey already ran the test. November 4, 2025. The people who hate the country showed up. The people who love it split, stayed light, or treated a winnable race like a bye. Look at what they got. Then picture that, nationwide, in January 2027.
A year from those votes, the scoreboard is not a theory. It is a rent board, a House majority, a governor’s pen, and a ballot full of constitutional questions.
President Trump has been telling red-state crowds to pretend he is on the ballot. Mobile heard it on October 2. The reason is these three maps. Safe does not mean safe if the people who love the country treat an off-year like a night off.
New York City: 7 percent is not a party
On November 4, 2025, Zohran Mamdani won the mayor’s race. Certified totals: Mamdani 1,114,184 votes, 50.8 percent. Andrew Cuomo, running as an independent after he lost the Democratic primary, 906,614 votes, 41.3 percent. Republican Curtis Sliwa, 153,749 votes, 7.0 percent. More than 2.1 million ballots. The biggest city vote since 1969.
That is not a story about nobody voting. It is a story about who voted, and who split. The Republican line was a protest. The moderate and conservative vote parked on Cuomo. A Democratic Socialists of America assemblyman became the 112th mayor on January 1, 2026. First Muslim mayor. First from Queens. Thirty-four on election night.
What he has done in nine months is not a speech. On June 25, 2026, the Rent Guidelines Board — he had appointed six of the nine members — voted to freeze rents on about one million rent-stabilized apartments. That freeze took effect October 1, 2026, for new one- and two-year leases. Nearly a quarter of the city lives in those units. Landlords eat the inflation. Tenants get a campaign promise kept.
On January 8, 2026, Mamdani and Governor Kathy Hochul announced a $1.7 billion childcare expansion: free care for two-year-olds in the city, universal care for three-year-olds, more pre-K statewide. The two-year-old program started this fall with about 2,000 spots. The goal he states is a spot for every child under two before the term ends.
On April 14, 2026, he named the first city-run grocery, at La Marqueta in East Harlem. The plan is five stores, one per borough, opening 2027 through 2029, priced about 30 percent under the market, paid for by a city subsidy. Free buses, the other headline promise, are still stalled. City Hall is talking speed and a pilot, not a fare wipe.
He also revoked Eric Adams’s anti-boycott executive order and dropped the city’s use of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism. He has called the war in Gaza a genocide and said he would arrest Benjamin Netanyahu if the Israeli prime minister came to New York. On the third anniversary of October 7 he condemned Hamas’s attack and, in the same breath, accused Israel of genocide. That is the record. It is not a rumor about secret statutes. It is a mayor from the socialist left, with a foreign-policy line his critics call a surrender to the coalition that hates Israel, running the largest Jewish city outside Israel.
Sliwa at 7 percent did not stop any of it. A split ballot is a win for the side that stays together.
Virginia: one night, the whole building
Same day. Abigail Spanberger beat Winsome Earle-Sears, 1,976,857 to 1,449,586. That is 57.6 percent to 42.2 percent, about 15 points. Ghazala Hashmi won lieutenant governor, 55.6 to 44.1. Jay Jones won attorney general over Jason Miyares, 53.1 to 46.5, after a campaign that should have been a scandal and was not a stop sign. Democrats took the House of Delegates from 51–49 to 64–36. They already held the Senate, 21–19.
Turnout was not a collapse. It was near the 2021 governor’s race, about 54 percent of the citizen voting-age population. Analysts at the New York Times found Spanberger and New Jersey’s Mikie Sherrill each won about 7 percent of Trump’s 2024 voters. Sabato’s Crystal Ball noted that in parts of Northern Virginia, lower-propensity Trump voters simply did not come back. Both things can be true. Some flipped. Some sat. The gavel moved anyway.
Spanberger was sworn in January 17, 2026. In the session that followed she signed a bill to lift the minimum wage to $15 by 2028. She signed gun bills: no guns for people convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence, a ban on untraceable “ghost guns,” and a path to sue dealers and manufacturers for negligent practices. She signed a contraception-access measure and a stack of housing and renter bills Youngkin had vetoed.
The bigger items are on the ballot, not just in the code. The new Democratic legislature sent voters three constitutional amendments for November 3, 2026. One writes a state right to “reproductive freedom,” including abortion, into the constitution. One repeals the man-and-woman marriage line and bars the state from denying a license based on sex. One deals with voting rights for felons. A fourth, letting the legislature redraw Congress through 2030, passed a special election in April 2026 by 52 to 48 — about 1.60 million to 1.50 million — and the Virginia Supreme Court threw it out in May on procedure. They tried. The court stopped that one. The other three are still in front of the voter on the same day as the midterms.
That is what a 15-point night buys. Not a mood. A pen, a 64-seat House, and a constitution on the table.
New Jersey: the close race that was not close
Mikie Sherrill beat Jack Ciattarelli, 1,896,610 to 1,417,705. 56.9 percent to 42.5 percent. About 14 points. Turnout was 51 percent, the highest governor’s race since 1997. Polls had called it a toss-up. It was not.
Sherrill took office January 20, 2026. Her first-year mark is housing as a state project. Executive Order 17 set up a Housing Governing Council. This September she doubled the planned homes on state-owned land from 20,000 to 40,000, put shot clocks on permits, and pointed at a tax-credit auction for affordable housing. Her own council says New Jersey needs 350,000 more homes. That is a production order, not a suggestion to towns that want to stay towns.
She is not Mamdani. She is a former Navy pilot and prosecutor who ran on costs and against Trump. The result is still a Democratic lock on a state Republicans had talked themselves into flipping. Ciattarelli had the White House’s blessing. He did not have the margin.
One more New Jersey fact belongs in an election-admin file. In 2026 the Sherrill administration said a motor-vehicle software error had registered non-citizens to vote — about 6,600 between June 2023 and 2024, some of it going back years. More than 5,100 registrations were pulled. About 340 needed a case-by-case look. About 60 current inmates were on the rolls. She called the system free and fair and said her people found the mess. Republicans want a special commission. The registrations happened on the state’s watch, before and during the era that produced this government.
What 2026 inherits
Put the three nights on one page.
New York City gave a socialist City Hall a majority of the vote because the Republican line was 7 percent and the opposition split. Nine months later: a rent freeze on a million apartments, city-paid childcare underway, a public grocery on the drawing board, an anti-boycott order torn up.
Virginia gave Democrats the governor, the lieutenant governor, the attorney general, and 13 more House seats. Ten months later: a $15 wage path, new gun laws, and three constitutional questions on the November 2026 ballot, including abortion in the state constitution.
New Jersey gave Democrats another governor by 14 points in a race the right called winnable. Ten months later: the state is in the housing business at a scale of hundreds of thousands of units, and the voter-roll office is still cleaning non-citizen registrations it did not catch for years.
None of that required a conspiracy. It required a calendar. Odd-year elections. A midterm a year later. People who love the country assuming someone else will hold the line.
Trump’s line in Mobile was that America does not belong to those who hate it. It belongs to the people who love it. Belonging is not a rally. It is a marked ballot in a race the consultants call safe. New York, Virginia, and New Jersey just ran the experiment. The 2026 midterms are the rerun, in every district that thinks it can sit this one out.
Americans, LOOK at what happened, is happening to Virginia, New Jersey and NYC! Look at what’s being written into rules, laws and constitutions.
November 5th, 2024 was the date of a miracle of the Lord God Our Father. The day He dragged America and Americans back from the edge of the abyss they were falling into.
November 3rd, 2026 is Americans turn to do their part. If the people who love Jesus and love America sit home instead of voting for people who love America, they will have voted for people who hate America.
The Lord God Our Father will notice and He will know that Americans are not “people which are called by His Name”.
”If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.”
