Democrats are facing their worst political environment in over a decade heading into November’s mid-term elections. Republicans lead the generic ballot and hold a solid structural advantage in competing for the House of Representatives. And despite concerns about candidate quality, the GOP is also favored to take control of the Senate.
The correlation between presidential approval and their party’s mid-term prospects also can’t be ignored. Joe Biden has hit the lowest poll numbers of his term, with a recent Times/Siena poll showing him at just 33 percent approval with only 13 percent believing the country is on the right track.
In response, Democrats have desperately tried to change the narrative by focusing on abortion and guns, but that’s gone over like a lead balloon because ultimately, those aren’t issues that affect the vast majority of Americans in their everyday lives. The economy and inflation are still at the top of any list of concerns.
In short, the fundamentals are just awful for the Democrats. That means they need to do something to influence the election that goes beyond actually enacting good policy, and if you listen closely, you’ll discern exactly what they are preparing.
What evidence is there that we’ll have a massive, deadly COVID spike in the Winter? There isn’t much except the fact that we know the coronavirus is largely seasonal now. But even then, the virus is showing itself to be far less deadly than in the past due to a combination of weaker variants and widespread immunity (both natural and vaccine-induced).
Still, the administration is sounding the alarm, going so far as to extend the state of emergency again.
Then there’s Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been a ghost for the last few months. He popped back up on Tuesday to let Americans know that we can’t just “put the pandemic behind us.”
If you’ve read this far, you probably see where I’m going with this. Prior to the 2020 election, Democrats used the threat of COVID as an excuse to push through election law changes in a variety of states. That included swing states like Pennsylvania. Mail-in balloting became common, with unmonitored drop boxes being placed around cities. Things like so-called “drive-thru voting” also became popularized as well as extensions that allowed ballots to be returned well after election day.
What that all added up to was a chaotic free-for-all of an election with very few guardrails, and that’s exactly what Democrats want to see again in November. You can even put aside the discussion over fraud. The fact is that Democrats benefit from ballot harvesting and mass mail-in voting. There’s a reason they wanted to federalize those practices while eliminating election security provisions like voter ID.
The White House is clearly rolling out a plan to try to push more COVID hysteria as we head into the fall. That hysteria will be used to justify a push to change election laws again. Democrats need something to change the game because their actual governance isn’t going to cut it.
Republicans simply can not allow themselves to be run over by the same truck again. As the administration begins to push the COVID narrative more and more, the GOP should respond by making it clear that there will be no changes to election laws no matter what happens. Not at the federal level, and not at the state level where they have the power to dictate. In 2020, many red states lined up to do the Democrats’ bidding on this front. This time, things must be different.

NYC just started running a “what to do in a nuclear attack” PSA ad.
Timing seems suspect.
The average citizen will not tolerate that crap a second time. They are wiser now. BUT, never underestimate the ability of the GOP to snatch defeat from the laws of victory. My expectations for November are very tempered. I expect widespread fraud and the GOP utterly failing to do anything about it.
Fascist Fauci to close down the US; no elections?
If I comment on what I think should happen to those that continue to threaten us with covid restrictions, I would likely be banned.
Dems like to turn funerals into political rallies.
Double state funeral for Bill and Joe who die in sleep of natural causes on same night.
Jill and Hill headline event begging for dem turn out.
Body double who can read teleprompter is new first black woman president.

Election laws need to be updated so that mail-in ballots that were not personally handed in by the voter to election officials lose their right to ballot secrecy.
Mail-in ballots need to be barcoded to the voter in such a manner that only election officials can marry up a specific ballot to a specific voter, but there is a means of recourse if it is later determined that the "voter" was not eligible, or it was an outright fraudulently cast ballot.
Being able to later go back and find these ineligible ballots and remove their votes from the totals would greatly improve the accuracy of the count.
The GOPe will do nothing. Cocaine Mitch will just repeat his “live to fight another day” speech for the umpteenth time.

No doubt it’s China that will be surprising us with a major outage, or some such thing.
Arresting Donald Trump on October 31st would be the kind of surprise they want. By the time the shock wears off and the public realizes they have nothing on him, the election would be over.
No, the real surprise is a last- minute indictment of Trump by the Jan 6 committee.
They’ll use it to dirty up all the candidates Trump is supporting.
There is simply nothing -- nothing! -- Democrat/Communists won't do to hold onto power as power over others is the primary -- above all else -- reason for their very existence.
The feeb/DS must be actively planning a really big false flag in order to have dopey Joe declare “becuase of this event, I hereby declare marshlaw and an cancel the erections. End of quote. Repeat the line.”
Fauci, still getting $400,000 a year for saying what the administration wants him to say.
“... The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power. What pure power means you will understand presently. We are different from the oligarchies of the past in that we know what we are doing. All the others, even those who resembled ourselves, were cowards and hypocrites. The German Nazis and the Russian Communists came very close to us in their methods, but they never had the courage to recognize their own motives. They pretended, perhaps they even believed, that they had seized power unwillingly and for a limited time, and that just around the corner there lay a paradise where human beings would be free and equal. We are not like that. We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power. Now you begin to understand me.”
― George Orwell, 1984
I am expecting a terrorist attack of some kind.
