10. They simply don't have the resources or the competence

There aren’t enough ICE agents to affect the outcome, not even if they are only assigned to “strategic” blue districts, not when 2024 Trump +20 districts have been swinging 15-30 points for the Dems in elections over the past year.

That swing means republicans are voting for democratic candidates

SAVE act - dead

SCOTUS enabled Gerrymandering- still not enough to protect their razor thin majority.

, then they'll start trying to control the administration side to ensure that laws, bills, etc., that the democrats want don't come anywhere near to having a hearing. I


The “administration side” is controlled by the states, and in red states, republicans already control most, if not all, of the process. They aren’t going to be able to force changes in blue states or states with divided control of the legislature and state house.

Never forget this one absolute truth:

Trump is not omnipotent, and the states and the people are not powerless

Nothing can stop the Blue Tsunami in November.
