on various internet sites about how they were sure to win,
and that the Democratic party candidates had no chance because Trump policies were so great---
so much so that I myself had doubts about the eventual election results!
Well, the Republicans lost 40 House seats in that election.... and the Democrats took over the House again.
They are operating under the same sort of delusions now.... watching Faux News
and other "right-wing bubble" news sources who ignore any dissenters,
as well as the HUGE "No Kings" protest...
Also read about how many Republicans believe this is their "last chance"
to enact a bunch of their terrible policies, including cutting off the
"free-loading poor" and giving another big tax cut to billionaires,
and as such they are doubling down and trying to "damn the torpedoes"!
According to numerous polls I have seen, about 2/3's of the American people
OPPOSE their 'big beautiful bill'--- but numerous Republican politicians continue to claim
that the American people support their policies, and that
'this is what Trump was elected to do...'
The bill for their actions will come due....
Since federal officeholders are elected through 50 separate state elections,
over which the federal government does not have control,
I mostly reject defeatist theories which claim that they will somehow 'cancel the midterm elections'---
I can see no way they could possibly do that, unless they manage to
blunder into a nuclear war in the meantime,
which would surely kill off more urban Democrats than rural Republicans---
That's one thing that keeps me awake at night
