Going back to the first term of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933, the party of first-term presidents gained seats in House midterm congressional elections only twice.
Karl Rove reminded readers a few months ago in his Wall Street Journal column that, since World War II, the average loss of House seats of the party of each first-term president in congressional midterms is 28.
The largest loss was 63 in the first midterm elections in Barack Obama's first term. This was after Democrats rammed through the Affordable Care Act without a single Republican vote.
Given that Republicans need to pick up only five seats in 2022 to regain control of the House, Democrats who retain any sense of reality are concerned by the political atmospherics being created by their $3.5 trillion welfare state/Green New Deal spending blowout.
But the very idea that there is something called "reality" is now politically incorrect in today's woke-dominated Democratic Party.

Checks to see which voting machines are being used and who is performing the tabulations, ..., and wonders how this is going to be any different overall compared to 2020.
I’ll believe it when the new Republican-led congress takes office in 01/22.
Re-electing Assistant Democrats who vote to advance the progressive agenda gains us nothing.
We need to primary ALL of the Bush League Republicans.
Normally this landslide would be bigger than 2010.
Too bad the GOP-e won’t start working on it until Aug 2022.
RATS are already running ads trying to prop up Kelly in AZ.
Again, the GOP optimists are still assuming that widespread cheating like the one in November 2020 won’t occur.
Yet you won’t take my open offer to you regarding the outcome of the 2022 midterms.
Because you don’t even believe the concern trolling that you spew here.
I’m not sanguine about a GOP landslide. If they get control of congress expect more of their usual whining, promises and no action. A totally useless party they are.
We all know the history, which should heavily favor gop candidates. But that fails to take into account that the gop is not a serious political party. It has no platform, no program, no principles, no agenda for America. Just “let’s be nice guys, throw a few bones to the flyover people, and some of us will win the ticket to the gravy train.”
The voting machines are not the largest factor - mail-in voting is.
I’ll believe it when the new Republican-led congress takes office in 01/22.

Led by do nothing Swamp dweller Kevin McCarthy. Don’t kid yourself, Paul Ryan will still be pulling strings behind the curtain.
With cheating and a little help from RINO’s, the RATS will hold the house.
yet the dems are acting like they dont really care about being re-elected. hmmm
Between cheating and demographic changes, which have a monumental impact no matter how much the Bush League, neocon, civnatcucks claim it does not, we are looking at possibly the GOP never winning back much of anything no matter what happens.
Star Parker is a Democrat now?
Remember who is counting the votes.
That is a sickening thought. Markelly giffords is useless.
Right now all the GOP can claim is vote for us we are not Democrats, because they haven’t done a thing to stop Biteme and in some cases have helped the Democrats.
They should win, but if the Democrats stole a presidential election and two Georgia senate seats with the GOP establishments support do you think stealing a congressional mid-term will give them a seconds pause?
They might allow McConnell backed Republicans to win in order to establish that republican can win if they support the Democrats.
