Not how I see it. This is the Trump era. If people have to juggle flaming chainsaws while riding their bicycles to the vote, they will.

Agreed. The ‘Rats (my first use of the term, resisted using pejoratives online since the ‘90s) are fired up like we are. The LSM is attacking the President and his allies more zealously than ever. Huge advantage for the Left historically for a few reasons.
In ‘16 the media had a very large percentage of voters wary of the future president because of all the “smoke” they were generating. So much tumult and so much of the country was convinced there HAD to be something there. It couldn’t ALL be fake news.
Remember how many non-Trump supporters we had once upon a time? Good people, FReepers, but I think to a person the ceaseless negative media reporting colored their views.
How many never-Trumpers in the conservative media have joined us? How overwhelmingly loyal are former conservative detractors? Meaning “real” conservatives.
The President is a known quantity now. Americans remember the abysmal economy of the Hussein years. Many big promises but things always got worse. Eight grueling years that seemed like they would never end. By every metric the nation was precipitously in decline.
In spite of amplifying and authenticating the Hussein administration’s lies about the true state of things, the media even described the unending malaise as “the new normal.”
The economy today speaks for itself. Exceeding EVERYONE’S expectations. By every traditionally important metric, America, is improving.
It’s a friggin’ miracle. I don’t believe the media’s shrill, incessant, distractions and demonizations aren’t going to persuade very many not on the far left (already thoroughly persuaded) they, and their families and communities, they aren’t doing and feeling a whole lot better.
Leftist candidates and the DNC won’t have the advantage of the entire Executive Branch weaponized against them. Operating in tandem with the same media. I believe many of those operators will shortly be indicted for felonies.
Trump uses the presidential bully-pulpit better than any president in our history.
These mid-terms won’t be anything like 2016. Your flaming chainsaws analogy is right. We really need to start thinking about what will happen after the President’s second term.
