Do you not see parallels between 2006 and 2018?

Dems were energized then, as they are now. Polls show large democrat generic ballot. Low approval ratings for bush in 2006, low approvals for Trump, etc.

I fvcking hate Dems, but when it comes to politics I’m a worrier and a pessimist by nature.

Perspective, People!

The 1982 United States House of Representatives elections was an election for the United States House of Representatives held on November 2, 1982, in the middle of President Ronald Reagan’s first term, whose popularity was sinking due to economic conditions under the 1982 recession. The President’s Republican Party lost seats in the House, which could be viewed as a response to the President’s approval at the time. Unlike most midterm election cycles, the number of seats lost—27 seats to the Democratic Party—was a comparatively large swap. It included most of the seats that had been gained the previous election, cementing the Democratic majority.[1] Coincidentally, the number of seats the Democratic picked up (26), was the exact amount the Republicans needed to win the House majority.

And we all know Reagan never recovered from it. /s
