Response to this claim
Laura Loomer says that after the 2026 midterm elections America is over, because communists and jihadists will open the borders and replace Americans' votes with votes from people in the country illegally.
“No. No to this. My children will inherit the legacy of the American way of life. I will fight every day to ensure it.”
The reference point is Laura Loomer's response to the November 3, 2026 midterm results: her posts saying that America is over and attributing the Republican losses to a takeover by communists and jihadists. Basham rejects Loomer's claim that America is over and answers that her children will inherit the American way of life.
After Democrats won control of Congress in the 2026 midterms, Laura Loomer posted that America is over and asked Christians where God was. Megan Basham, Carrie Coon and Edward Feser rejected her claims, and Marjorie Taylor Greene blamed Loomer's advice for the losses.
