Cause otherwise midterms discussion will be scattered around a bunch of separate Culture War thread posts. And it's nice to have more off-the-cuff rapid reactions in a dedicated megathread.
The first thing I've noticed so far: if the exit polls are correct, Americans are very pessimistic about AI.

Notes -
"White" as a political category is closer to "non-Black and culturally Christian" than it is to "member of the Caucasian family of ethnic groups". Nobody thinks that Arabs and Turks (who are no swarthier than white Sicilians) are politically white, and most white nationalists are not fond of Jews either. Which religion we don't believe in is fundamental to who the ingroup is.
Albanians are unwanted immigrants in western Europe based on their religion and criminality in spite of their skin colour, and this is not controversial among European ethno-nationalists.
Most European ethnonationalists are ethnonationalists of a specific European ethnicity (French, German, Scottish etc.) The superordinate identity that covered all Europe was Christendom, not whiteness - "white nationalism" was an American thing about justifying slavery and later outgrouping ADOS blacks. Pan-European Christian nationalists have been confused about whether Christian Africa is outgroup since the days of medieval Abyssinia and Prester John.
