The Crucial Midterm Elections
American Thinker ^ | 1 Sep, 2026 | Rick Charles

he 2026 midterm election will mark one of the most important inflection points in our history. The results will determine what groups and theory of governance direct our country going forward. The stakes could not be any higher regarding the future of our nation and most of its citizens. Most alarming is nobody is safe if the radical left’s vision of America wins. Today’s Democrat candidates are leading a political movement that is geared to promote socialism and a rise in tyranny in our country resulting in a significant loss of freedom and control over their daily lives for Americans.

The issues dominating today’s politics are identical to the fierce debates pre-dating our Founding. They have continued through our history regarding the proper role of government in democracy. The Founders’ preference was for a limited government role in society. The Founders desired a government that recognizes the roles and rights of sovereign individuals while acknowledging these rights are derived from a higher power. Included in this vision is a system of government that also promotes the pursuit of equality between people and the rule of law.

Life will be grim for most if the increasingly radical Democratic Party is allowed to win. In the future, we will confront a country with rising levels of illegal immigration via open borders, higher taxes, runaway inflation, rising energy costs, and a decreased level of national and personal safety. We will experience the creation of an ever-increasing powerful surveillance state in conjunction with Big Tech leading to the death of personal privacy.

The left in power will continue to divide us by gender, race, religion, and political affiliation status with identity politics the dominant ideology of the day. The Judicial system will be increasingly subverted, along with the rule of law

Here’s a breakdown of median salaries (not starting salaries) in the state of Tennessee (from the Bureau of Labor Statistics):

**Welder**

* **Median Hourly:** ~$22.50 – $24.00
* **Median Annual:** ~$47,000 – $50,000

**HVAC Technician**

* **Median Hourly:** ~$24.00 – $25.50
* **Median Annual:** ~$50,000 – $53,000

**Plumber**

* **Median Hourly:** ~$26.50 – $28.50
* **Median Annual:** ~$55,000 – $59,000

**Electrician**

* **Median Hourly:** ~$27.50 – $29.50
* **Median Annual:** ~$57,000 – $61,000


These are not bad salaries but six figures is rare for blue collar jobs if you’re not the owner of your own company.

I’m reading that six figures comes from working on the high value data centers where they are in demand.

Half the nation will be in favor of martial law if left wins the midterms.

The streets will become a battleground.

Elon can’t move Civilization off planet fast enough. In the future perhaps Earth will become the Solar Systems insane asylum.
