As the 2026 midterm elections fast approach, and with assessments suggesting a potentially strong performance from Democrats, a number of top Trump administration officials may resign in an effort to avoid being “slapped with subpoenas” from a Democrat-controlled Congress, political analyst and jour...
They have no path to win midterms, and they will run first. Funny thing is that they literally have nowhere to run. 🤣
The republicans have a clear path to win, the election is a toss up between the two parties at this point.
If the Democrats just assume public anger will mean they are going to win the midterm then they’re doomed. Despite everything Republican support is holding in the polls. Things are so polarised that Republican voters will seemingly accept anything of their party rather than accept a Democrat.
1/3 support dems, 1/3 support republicans. The key is the 1/3 of voters who are not engaged in politics or hate both parties. The only way the dems can win the midterms is getting off their arses and speaking to those voters. But rightly, those voters are fed up with the shit fest that is US politics.
The midterms are going to be down to the wire, and sadly I wouldn’t be surprised if the republicans win.

So, like Nazis?
Not sure if people get this yet or not. We either crush them in the next election or we end up physically fighting them. This is how fascism works. They have signaled to us that there is no red line for them regarding their own representatives. None. They will absolutely allow this to go all the way unless we stop them. And, at this point, I’m not sure the election thing is going to work because when fascists are in control, they tend to not allow fair elections. I mean they attempted a violent insurrection the last time they lost. Who actually thinks they’re going to allow a fair election?
The beating heart of the Nazi movement was the revanchist WW1 veterans allied with the US-backed eugenics-pilled German industrialists of the 1920s.
It’s pretty clear the US is flush with the second half. No shortage of insane Silicon Valley techbros who think they can vibes-code a libertarian utopia with a bit more unfettered police power. But I have to wonder how much of the former is frothing under the skin of the modern American system. How many modern day ICE goons are hold-overs from the War on Terror, desperately looking for a W after putting up all those Ls in Afghanistan and Iraq and a dozen other theaters of war we’re not allowed to talk about?
The dems have to engage the left they have completely alienated. The people on the edge of their overton window that think the dems are a complete and total failure and also invoke Godwins law every time a GOP policy is duscussed. Instead the dems think the people they need to seek are the centerists… And well… Look what that got them last time.
Not one damn single thing you mentioned matters when it’s quite literally TRUMP’S people in charge of every aspect of voting; from the voting machines themselves, to the oversight of the polling locations. He’s spent every second of the last year making sure of that.
I’m happy you’re optimistic. God knows we can use some of that in the world today. But damn, man…don’t be naive.
Just the gerrymandering issue alone is a huge setback. Then you factor in the dominion voting systems sale to a trump donor. It’s gunna be a wild ride at least.
The Gerrymandering has effectively been shut down by Prop 50 being so popular in CA. Indiana isn’t moving on theirs, Missouri looks like it’s going to be shutdown, Ohio can’t move…etc…etc. These corrupt morons have only JUST learned what gerrymandering will actually do in their states, and they have no path to making any of this work anywhere but TX it seems, and CA has neutered that bullshit.
Polling is all over the place but polling can’t be trusted worth a shit. Best advice is don’t be comfortable, be nervous, vote. Some folks clearly need fear as a motivator

Surprise isn’t a thing when they’ve been gleefully announcing their actions in rigging it.

You are absolutely insane:
Where the hell are you seeing the GOP winning anything? Even their own party is saying it’s going to be an absolute wipeout.
I saw a lot of people say this exact fucking line the LAST TWO GODDAMN TIMES TRUMP WON.
We need to stop making assumptions and start looking at factual reality.

I hope you’re right. But I am remaining pessimistic, as this country is rightly fucked.
