I know things seem tough and the GOP is pulling out all stops to keep power but the bottom line is that
"the good guys" are winning and there is nothing "they" can do to stop it. Joe and company stopped the
pandemic, V.P. K-Bomb is a bad ass, and we should crush it in 2022.

Traditionally, dems just don't turn out in off year elections, especially when their party is in power. While it's helpful the repugs didn't turn out in the last special election, neither did the dems. They just turned out less than we did.
The gop will be back and unified by 22. Hopefully we will be there in numbers. I'm not confident.

* hang Trump around the neck of all those un-American shits who supported him and
have given him cover. His crimes, treason, and grifting will all be on display by then
although the racist Evangelical maga mouth breathers will still vote GOP.

(14,834 posts)a drooling mess under indictment and getting more and more unhinged. It may be hard to stick associations with trump to specific candidates.
He could actually engender sympathy rather than outrage (not to me, but the voters who could stay home or vote gop might just slough off attacks on candidates being tied to him and vote).
In any event, it will be about turnout. The gop voters will either vote with the gop house and senate candidates in 22 or they will stay home. They won't turn out for us, and there is no middle left.
