Democrats going into the 2026 Midterms . . . . . [View all]

We all know that just about everything is going to cost more as of tomorrow. (TFG just signed another EO, mandating 41% tariffs on any country that hasn't made a "deal" with him.)

All Democrats have to stick to this script: Elect us to the House and the Senate to gain a majority and we'll repeal the tariffs. Trump did this and we can undo it.

Yeah, we'll need 2/3 votes in both Houses to override the anticipated veto. But the remaining Republicans may be more afraid of their constituents than of TFG by that time. We don't need all of them; just a few to put us over the Finish Line.

If we can't make the point by 2026, someone tell me when the voters will be receptive.
