The American Fracture: Right and Left Only Blue and Blue
Kobi Barda analyzes the 2026 US midterm election results as a deep generational rift, not a routine blue wave. He argues that young people on both sides of the political spectrum, anxious about their economic future, have turned their backs on the old establishment. President Trump, who became mired in a campaign against Iran instead of domestic recovery, suffered a historic defeat with the loss of both houses of Congress. The article warns that Israel, which relied on Republican and evangelical support, remains isolated.
Kobi Barda analyzes the results of the US midterm elections in November 2026 as a deep generational rift, not a routine blue wave. According to him, the American Generation Z is trapped in housing and education debt, and fears the artificial intelligence revolution and mass layoffs. Despair is becoming political fuel: on the progressive left, radical socialist movements are growing, and on the right, isolationist and xenophobic movements. Both mark the old establishment as the enemy. President Trump, who promised isolationism, became mired in a prolonged military campaign against Iran, which led to inflation and an energy crisis. The result: a historic defeat for the Republicans, loss of both houses of Congress, and the election of a Democratic senator in Kansas for the first time in 94 years. The article warns that Israel, which relied on Republican and evangelical support, remains isolated, and must invest in moderate Hispanic and African-American communities.
