Yeah, if the Dems lose big (which will most likely be because their own voters stay home), and by big I mean over 250R in house and over 53R in senate, they will:
1. work until January to pass every bill they can and get shut down all the way
2. January comes and then they will begin to blame the economy on the Republicans
3. Everything the Republicans do will be “attacking democracy” until people get sick of it and it shows up in the polls
4. Try to blame voter fraud/suppression on the Republicans until the Republicans suggest transparent elections
Democrat voters will stay home? How does that work in 2022? The ballots will arrive in the mail. The vote harvesters will make their usual sweeps. They will pick up ballots from apathetic dems and dump them in the bag with the 27 ballots delivered to the same vacant house in Philly, Detroit or Chicago. Every one of these ballots will have been sent to a bona fide name on the voter registration list, which may have been a fraudulent registration but for which no verification was sought so there is no way to check. Staying home is being cut out of the equation. Democrats today believe that asking voters to actually go to the polls and cast a vote is oppressive. The harvesters will do it for them. This is what democracy looks like. In Venezuela or Cuba.
Sure, many people will still go to the polls and vote. This will include many democrats. But those of us at the polls aren’t the problem.
