29. "EVERYBODY KNOWS" that Republicans want everyone who might vote against them, to be
Tue Jun 9, 2026, 11:23 PM

sick, starving, and/or DEAD as soon as possible!
(or disenfranchised from voting through Trump's various schemes,
most of which are being defeated in the courts!)


Well, maybe 'everybody' doesn't 'know' that yet---
but more and more people who previously supported Trump are figuring it out---
and Trump and the Republicans aren't doing anything to help themselves---
instead, every day they make things worse for themselves!


Forget 2020, forget 2006 and 2008, forget 1974----

For 2026 and 2028, I'm beginning to envision "Democratic wave" elections
in Rooseveltian proportions !!!!!! (Think 1932 and 1934)


((YES, they are doing everything they can for the House of Representatives
with redistricting before the next census--- but it won't be enough to save their House---
and statewide votes for U.S. Senators CAN'T BE gerrymandered,
since they are state-wide votes... I have expectations that
at least ONE Republican senator whom they thought was 'safe',
will FAIL to be re-elected in 2026--- and by 2028, who knows??))


The Republicans will have no idea what hit them---
partly because they believe all their own lies about "what the people want"
and "how great the economy is",
and partly because all the policy shifts they passed in their 'big beautiful bill'
are bound to hit the poor rural red states (their party base) to the worst effects !!!


The SNAP work requirements for old people (age 55-64) and cuts are already
beginning to take effect---- and the cuts and 'work requirements' for Medicaid
are scheduled to begin in January 2027--- well before the 2028 elections!

(If the congressional Republicans had a brain in their heads, which they don't,
they would have scheduled BOTH things to begin not before January 2029! LOL)

((And of COURSE their refusal to renew the larger subsidies for 'Obamacare'
drove the cost of health insurance up for EVERYONE who had to buy it--- and more people blamed
the Republicans rather than the Democrats for the 'government shutdown'
over that issue!))


An electoral 'nuclear bomb' is set to detonate in November---
and it's relative 'throw-weight' is increasing, day by intolerable day!
