Well yeah, but Joe and Sinema aren't blocking judges.Judges ...
I think you underestimate how bad it'll get. Remember, 10 million more Americans voted for Trump in 2020 than in 2016, 10 million Americans watched him and decided this is what they wanted. If they haven't woken up yet, what makes you think they're going to wake up if it gets worse? Majority of Republicans either explicitly or implicitly (through votes) support minority oppression, they don't care about that, after all it's not them who are getting hurt. And they won't really care if it hurts them economically either. Did they care about Trump tax cuts that gave away money to the upper class while screwing many in the middle? No. Did they care that Trump tariffs hurt farmers? No. Did they care that Trump's abysmal response to COVID-19 made economic downturn much worse than it had to be? No. Did Texans do anything about their electrical grid that resulted in numerous people dead last year? No, they just blamed renewable energy. They will always find a way to rationalize and dismiss all the negative outcomes.We still got Rachael Maddow, remember...
She'll kick some ass, as long as that ass kicking is only required on a Monday night, that is.
But seriously, I say just let them all win, let them take over everything, an all out takeover by the insane Trump loyalist. Lets go 100% Giuliani. 100% Sidney Powell. 100% Steve Bannon. Lets go 100% Rick Scott and 100% Doug Mastriano.
Why? Because,I want to see exactly what this Trump envision for America would actually look like for Americans when fully implemented. I really do want America to experience this. Then, we can finally get it out of our system and return back to the real America. But in order to return to the real America, it looks like we have no choice but to first experience that Trump envisioned America of total insanity.
I want to see the reaction from America when racism is fully implemented. When women are arrested and imprisoned for birth control. I want to see impoverished senior citizens taxed, and the homeless taxed for living in tents. I want to see gays forced into cure-the-gay programs, and transgenders forced into mental institutions. I want to see election outcomes determined solely by Donald Trump, and the democrat challengers imprisoned. I want to see it all because this is something America must go thru, apparently, if America is too rid itself of this Donald Trump cult mentality.
He is the Peter Schiff of political prognosticators. He predicts the same thing all the time and ignores it when he’s wrong. At least I think Peter Schiff is running some gold grift.
Just like how you knew you were conquered in November, 2020?Unlike you, I know when I am conquered.

Has being unable to predict who would control the federal government two days out given you any cause to question your ability to predict who will control the federal government a half century from now?Won that battle but losing the war.

2020 was an eternity ago and even an eternal optimist like you (?) can admit that things have exponentially picked up steam, and not in a good way.
For example, bills/laws allowing state legislatures to ignore the will of the people did not exist before the 2020 elections (correct me if I'm wrong).
The rhetoric, which was already heated, has picked up another 1000 notches.
I’m not an eternal optimist, I think the most likely electoral outcome this year is that republicans take one or both houses of congress.2020 was an eternity ago and even an eternal optimist like you (?) can admit that things have exponentially picked up steam, and not in a good way.

What I am not however is addicted to doomsaying and I know I don’t have the ability to predict political outcomes even a few years out, much less decades out. I think you could use some humility in that department.

I used to think you were for that and we were the idiots wanting healthcare for all and democracy and the good stuff.
I think I'm realistic now that we're too polarized and we won't have agreement on anything really since its not difference.. its now owning the libs and wanting opposite of them even if its harmful.
So we can only do what's good for our few states and hopefully we can divorce and leave without a civil war. Even that seems too much to hope for.
I believe the GOP has more seats up for grabs in the Senate this cycle, so at least the Dems have that going for them. [/BillMurray]Anything other than an absolute unmitigated blowout of Dems this midcycle election should shock the Republican party to the core. If they can't win clean under these conditions I wouldn't even blame them for more coup attempts.
and that is what I would expect. The black vote too, and when push comes to shove I think most of the non-white vote.That is interesting.
Biden was able to pull 80% of the native American vote in some places.
Doubt enough R house members want the spineless one to become speaker. Will be the case how Paul Ryan collected enough support to overtake to be voted speaker.I would hate to see Kevin McCarthy as Speaker, honestly I would have to tune him out. And Mitch is ghastly.
I also highly doubt liberal voters can be shocked enough to get off their lazy asses and vote in droves, it's easier to whine about unfairness after the fact.
