If I had no feel for the mood of the country I might be tempted to agree with you.
The elections will be a true test of the ability of Americans to process information, assimilate facts, connect the dots, and ability to disregard media lies. It’s basically an aptitude test. If there is a GOP landslide, then people can add two plus two and correctly blame the Democrats.
the media will play it as...
“yeah so what”
The Midterms are always and historically bad for the incumbent party. This one wont be any different. Except for the shouting. The democrats will switch to defense after the midterms. They’ll blame everything that they wreck on the incoming evil that the voters have brought. The obstructionism is the problem and not the malevolent communists in the bureaucracy.
The counter-momentum has to hold till 2032 at least in order to make any impact on the damage that’s been done over this past decade. Conservatives do not have the resources needed, the attention span or the vision to accomplish what’s required. The barbarians were at the gates in 1969. Now they’ve taken over the levers of government authority, media and educational infrastructure down to the community level. Sadly this republic will crumble into a malevolent crypto-dictatorship by the middle of this century. Nothing can stop that now.
Good luck to the young people, tried to warn you.
Empires End.
Fact is this- 2020 was a red wave, despite the fact they stole the Presidential election. And things have gotten so much worse since.
ANNIHILATE THE HELL OUT OF THEM! and FJB for good measure.
Trump had tremendous coattails in 2020 despite his “loss” to 81 Million Basement Joe.
“Who knows how many Ds will flip over as well”
*************
Some will flip because they’re not happy with the rampant inflation, crime, etc. but the more likely problem for Dems is turnout. Given the onslaught of problems facing the country and Biden’s general popularity, that’s not much of a backdrop to motivate them to vote.

McCarthy is not inclined to push for accountability or justice. He’s already said he won’t impeach Biden or any of his officials. My expectations for aggressive leadership under McCarthy (and his puppet master Paul Ryan) are very low.
Don’t get your hopes up about investigations. The Republicans will want to show they are in favor of unity and calming down the divisiveness infecting our politics. If they hold investigations they will probably be a lot of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
