Republicans across the country are not taking their historic midterm beatdown in stride, and according to a recent report from Right Wing Watch, a notably MAGA-linked pastor has taken his despair a step further, calling for “another January 6.”
Lorenzo Sewell is the leader of 180 Church, a non-denominational Christian church based in Detroit, and has become increasingly connected with GOP and MAGA politics in the last several years. In 2024, he was a guest speaker at the Republican National Convention, and in 2025, he conducted one of the benedictions at Trump’s second-term inauguration. Recently, reports have even suggested that he is considering running for public office himself as a Republican.
Right Wing Watch’s report this week also described Sewell as “an ardent stolen election conspiracy theorist whose obsession with exposing alleged voter fraud has become too extreme even for the Trump White House.” Now, his rejection of election results that are unflattering to Republicans and the MAGA movement has continued, as during an appearance on the “FlashPoint” podcast after the midterm blue wave, he once again called the elections fraudulent and suggested Trump’s followers should rise up against them.
Sewell’s argument for why fraud must have taken place in the midterms echoed the common right-wing misconception about elections, often lampooned with the phrase “land doesn’t vote.” Often, conservatives might share electoral maps of certain states with more counties colored red, and argue that this must be an indication that the state should elect Republicans in state-wide races, despite the fact that Democrats tend to win counties that are more heavily populated, giving them the edge.

There’s this moron in my area, but closer to my job. They have two green, steel stakes firmly planted in their yard. During election cycles or even during downtimes, there’s always some wackadoo ass message.
First one was some generic ass message along the lines of “we support our police, fire, ems!” etc… etc and then in even bigger letters underneath says “Say NO to socialism!” 🤦🏼♂️
The most recent one was something about “be a patriot and storming the polls to watch over the elections!” This individual is beyond stupid. We all know, if one of us liberals were to do something similar, all hell would break loose! It would be front page news if any us said anything remotely similar. I always pass in my work truck and give a finger, but I so wish I had a train horn to fuck with them. Really get the neighbors fed up. This is all right down the street from a Elementary School and MS.
These are the same people that bitch and moan about kids being subjected to things, or “indoctrinated” by people or things they’ve deemed inappropriate for someone of that age group. My personal favorite was this idiot in the neighborhood across the service drive. Elementary school, MS, and a HS less than 500 yards away and this asshole has a Fuck Biden flag flailing in the wind. All fine and dandy, but motherfuckers need to have some consistency in their bullshit.
Extremely childish and the best part, this idiot has his truck parked outside with his business on it. I think things have been slow for him. 😂 Thats not what pisses me off, though. It’s the flat out hypocrisy and how they stand for nothing. They’re a confused, pathetic bunch.
