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.

Calling for insurrection? Where are the three-letter agencies when they should did their job?
Trump and co are way too calm for them to not be cooking up some shitfuckery.
Where’s the lawsuits? Fraud claims? They aren’t even trying.
When the margins were too wide, it was obvious that even trying that way would be too much work.
However a major theme among the project 2025 folks has been “prepare to do stuff while ignoring Congress”. Basically unless Congress gets 2/3rd of Senate to go against the administration, the administration still has a blank check to do anything since the only remedy is removal from office and the GOP is still too maga to help Congress overcome trump
They would have preferred a compliant Congress, but they have until 2028 before real obstacles could appear.
This has been what has been giving me anxiety this entire time.
I’d love to celebrate but it’s not like these people to just concede to a fair election.
they’re tried all their trickery leading up, and none of it worked, they know they’re beat and they know they aren’t getting voters back, they just created a Latino voter block, used to be very down the middle with Latinos, but not anymore and certainly not with young Latinos, they aren’t getting that back for a generation at least.
Where was the election interference?
Where was the Iranian disruption?
Why was ICE Secretly Ordered to Stop All Immigration Raids on Election Day?
That deserves an arrest for incitement.
Immediately remove tax exemption too.
Exactly what I was thinking
Isn’t it a terrorist threat?
Uh, not a Muslim, or Antifa? Therefore cannot be terrorist?
Pretty sure that’s tax fraud proof, too.
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.
MAGA pastor calls for violence and intolerance. More news at 11.
Does he know he’s black?
The Uncle Tom grift is one of the oldest in the book. Americans of all stripes will pay good money to hear a black man tell them that racism is okay.
Like many republicans, he’s privately revolted by himself.
No, they shut off (or are in some cases just born without) the part of human personality that would do that.
They are shameless.
That gives them too much credit and self awareness. They find people revolting who get to live the way they wish that they could. “I’m not like that because I’m not allowed to be because it’s “wrong” for some reason, you shouldn’t be allowed either”
They won’t eat his face.
He knows he’s very comfortable.
Doesn’t calling for a second just admit the first one WAS an attack.?
It depends! Whenever it’s advantageous for it to be an attack, it’s an attack, but if not, then antifa did it but also it wasn’t that bad but also it was a peaceful protest. Do you understand now?
Treason. He’s calling for treason. Therefore, I call for him to be arrested
The paradox of intolerance is a real fucking doozy.
Please break into Congress and poop in Nancy Pelosi’s desk a second time.
Well as lomg as they remain peaceful like last time.
/s
Excuse me, Lorenzo, or may I call you Tom?
But really, what are you meant to January 6th? Every single government building in the US? What an idiot
Down to, what, every post office in the country? That’s going to take all damn day.
“Apparently unable to understand the concept of population density, Sewell insisted that states like Texas, Michigan, and Ohio are red states and therefore could not have possibly elected Democrats,” the report explained.
“Out of 83 counties in Michigan, [Republican gubernatorial candidate] John James won 69 of them,” Sewell declared. “Do you know that even [Democratic Senate candidate James] Talarico, he won—watch this—he only won 31 counties? There’s over 204 counties in Texas. In [Republican Ohio Senate candidate Jon] Husted and [Democratic Senate candidate Sherrod] Brown, Brown only won 16 counties. There’s 88 counties in Ohio.”
Another bright bulb from the conservatives…
This is how conservatives argue: in bad faith. The data is out there, they just choose to discount it wholesale because academia has an inherent liberal (reality based) bias. They project their own corruption onto it, ie, If we ran the numbers, it would reveal the real truth. When they hear these arguments of big number us, small number them, it reinforces their worldview of the “silent majority”, without any sort of context to the data provided that explains how things actually work—that their “big number” actually signifies less people across more landmass (in certain areas of course, this is not universally true).
The truth is out there. They want to believe [alternative facts instead].
They explicitly do not want their supporters understanding concepts like “per capita.”
I wish I was joking, there are people who think “per capita” was made up by liberals to make conservatives look bad.
They don’t care about facts. They just say stuff for the effect. Which is a kind of stupid but maybe also just a different thing, something broken in their soul.
What they don’t understand from the red/blue maps is that land doesn’t vote. Show them a population density map.
That’s some traitor shit
