No....

in 1976 the GOP got swept out of office in a massive blue wave.

THAT is what I think might happen to Dems in this election. If you aren’t familiar with the 76 election, then take a quick read about it.

In 1976 voters severely punished the GOP for Watergate

In 2020 voters will severely punish the DNC for it’s violent left wing tendencies and corruption

It was the 1974 Midterm election that was a bloodbath for GOP.

In 1976, Carter’s narrow victory over Gerald Ford had limited coattails, and his Democratic Party gained a net of only one seat from the Republican Party in the House. This election is notable for being the last time any party had a veto-proof majority in the House.

I think that’s a pretty good analysis, with one potential snag: In 1976 the mainstream media favored the same side they do today, the Democrats. And this year they’ve dialed their support all the way to the level of pure propagandizing.

But maybe we’re in the process of punishing them too, for their own corruption. Hopefully, that’s the case.
