The Republicans gave the Democrats some easy lay-ups by running crappy candidates. Plus there’s no way the mainstream media was going to give the GOP any credit for anything. They were howling about the inflation rate and the Epstein files, but four years ago the inflation rate was much higher and Biden had those same files, yet nobody made a peep about either, except to say how they weren’t important.

Plus, Trump is his own worst enemy sometimes when he lets his ego run his mouth and his social media accounts. He tends to over promise and under deliver, and for a guy who campaigned on making YUGE changes, that’s the fast track to disillusionment among your voters.

For the last couple of weeks I’ve been hearing lots of people saying the Dems were pooping their pants, but it struck me as medical-grade copium, and I was right to be skeptical. I’ve been on the road most of the day, and although I don’t spend much time listening to pundits, I’m hearing voices on the right clinging desperately to some silver lining that I suspect won’t materialize.

Shawn Hannity is confident that the DSA loonies are going to overreach and turn the voters off. He’s been repeating that the buyer’s remorse will happen even before the new Congress is sworn in, but that ignores the fact that the Dems have significant majorities in both houses of Congress for the remainder of the Trump Administration.

Of course the real problem is US.. The Republicans are spineless and the Democrats are insane, and we haven’t figured out how to do better. Then again, I’ve seen so many “man on the street” videos lately that reinforce what I’ve been saying for decades: universal suffrage is a terrible idea.
