    But I wager it won’t be that. Of course it could and my respect for this country would shrink a little more. But who in the right mind isn’t gonna be thinking about January 6th when they go to cast their vote? I hope it’s over for them. They don’t even believe in our government. Their party is all about the rich. They’d have us putting our kids in sweatshops like it was the 1800s if they could. They’re all about unchecked capitalism not democracy. And I’m not talking about the working men and women who’ve had their minds manipulated by identity politics. I’m talking about the people that own the Republican Party and all who really benefits from it.

    People who can't afford to put food on the table and gas in their cars won't be worrying about 1/6. They are more likely ro be disappointed it failed.

    """"But who in the right mind isn’t gonna be thinking about January 6th when they go to cast their vote?"""
    Who in the right mind isn’t gonna be thinking about how the last election was stolen and the questionable Dominion machines when they go to cast their vote?

    What will they be thinking about this insurrection?.

    I am making a prediction, not advocating a position. Hungry people tend to be revolutionary when they believe the system no longer works.

    I believe that Progressives are intentionally creating this chaos in the hope that the revolution will belong to them. I also believe that they are woefully mistaken.

    You believe that progressives are creating chaos, that is happening across the world, to start a revolution in the US?
    The labor shortage existed prior to Democrats taking the presidency, there have been massive shortages also prior to Democrats taking the presidency, each of these items can be easily explained looking at world events — but that requires more than many are willing to put in,

    Be my guest and easily explain it. All I see are immigration policies that flood the border with illegals, budget proposals that exacerbate inflation, vaccine mandates that prompt workers to quit, law enforcement policies that turn cities into crime infested open sewers and decimate the ranks of the police.

    A moron called Donald Trump owns the Republican Party.
    It should by no means stay that way!

    Nope, progressives don't know any better and their policies create chaos which will result in a revolution, albeit a modern one not seen before. Their own people will turn against their Democrat masters, once the teet runs dry...meaning the minority of people that pay taxes revolt.

    There is a big difference between a strong economy creating labor shortages than marxist/socialist policies of paying people to sit on their asses creating labor shortages.

    Don't look now but Democrat approval ratings are in the toilet and people miss mean tweets and sanity.

    Case in point, Postpartum Pete is out on maternity leave for the last two months while the shipping ports are in chaos. That's his job in this administration. Instead, he was busy doing gay photo shoots in a maternity ward. Sick.

    Then the Democrats should stop endorsing unpopular policies which damage the country.

    Jan 6. You mean all those trespassers? About thirty percent off the country remember that less than that a year from November. They' ll have many more Biden disasters since then.

    Can't you follow that logic, @cd8ed ? The Party that controls the Presidency & both chambers of Congress, rather than using them to get things efficiently done, is creating chaos, in the hope that the, "revolution," will belong to them. Though I, myself, could use a little clarification from Pycckia, as to why the Party that has more people voting for them would feel that they need a revolution. Regardless of the dubious wisdom of that strategy, you have to be impressed by the way the Democrats have managed to get the Republicans to obstruct everything, so that the Dems could present the image of a non-functional system, which so serves their aims.

    Funny how Democrats who are in office are not to blame for job losses due to world events (IE: Covid) but Trump is to blame regardless if he was POTUS or an Ex-POTUS. I sometimes wonder if Dems live in perpetual whiplash pain with all the times they reverse positions on things.

    If The DNC doesn't get inflation, food and fuel prices in check it won't be just Republicans screaming for the old days :)

    You watch what sky high prices and no raises does to peoples attitudes!

    What is a usual midterm? The first midterm, the party which holds the presidency has lost seats in the house every time since FDR except once. That once occurred in 2002 when the GOP picked up 8 seats. But that was a result of 9-11 and the country unifying around G.W. Bush and the Republicans. All the Republicans need is a net gain of 5 seats, they then will control the house. Very possible if not probable.

    Especially given the tanking numbers of Biden and the Democrats over the last 2 1/2 months. Many reasons for that, not all Biden's fault, but he's president and that's where the buck stops along with the blame. Here's his numbers from 1 Aug to today.

    Biden’s overall job approval/disapproval numbers:
    1 Aug 51.3% approval, 45.9% disapproval/16 Oct 43.9% approval, 52.1% disapproval.

    Generic congressional vote
    1 Aug Democrats 48% Republican 41% D plus 7/16 Oct Democrats 44% Republicans 41% D plus 3.

    Direction of the Country, right track/wrong track

    1 Aug right track 40%, wrong track 53%/16 Oct right track 32%/wrong track 60%.

    Immigration 1 Aug 42% approve, 54% disapprove/16 Oct 32% approve, 60% disapprove.

    COVID 1 Aug 62% approve, 38% disapprove/16 Oct 51% approve, 45% disapprove.

    Economy 1 Aug 55% approve, 45% disapprove/ 16 Oct 44% approve, 51% disapprove.

    https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/president-biden-job-approval-7320.html

    Where Biden and company has lost support is among independents.

    Independents have turned on Joe Biden

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/10/08/politics/independents-biden-losing-fast/index.html

    Independents for the most part aren't worried about Trump. To a lot of them, Trump is ancient history, gone, no longer president. It's how things are today, the present, not how they were on 6 Jan 2021. Until redistricting is done, there's really isn't a way to tell where the house stands for next year's midterms. But instead of worrying about Trump, if I were a democrat, I'd be trying to figure out how I could get independents back on my side. Regardless of Trump, if independents desert Biden and the democrats, the GOP will certainly win back the house and possibly the senate to boot.

    The democrats are in control, they hold the presidency, the house and the senate. If life is good or getting better, independents will probably vote for them. If life is getting worse which apparently they think so, they'll switch to the Republicans. All of this regardless of Trump who is passe in their book. At least for most of them.

    Quite the contrary. I expect republicans to do much better than usual. Biden's disastrous administration will be nearly impossible for the democrats to overcome.

    Unless things change dramatically over the next year, Republicans will gain bigtime in 2022

    The average person will focus on the more recent events and not 1/6 and they are ugly for the Dems.

    It is all their fault, no, fault lies on both sides, but it is the incumbents that always get the voter wrath

    Facts is facts.. Republican plan, let the DNC make cost of living so high even their own flock suffers to the point they simply don't show up to vote :) The DNC's Achilles heel is the poor, they pander to them, promise them the moon and every time they jack up the cost of living and tax's to a point they can't make ends meet and seal their own fate..

    Sometimes the best lesson learned are the most painful and sadly the ones that gravitate around planet DNC are the poorest and most vulnerable in this country..

    Oh don't get me wrong, I immensely dislike Democrat policies and methods — but you confuse low Democratic approval with trump approval. The polls I have seen show he is even lower than when he was ejected from office by the people. Maybe you have some different ones?

    Hopefully Republicans return to sanity and run a viable candidate but I just don’t see that happening.

    When we re-elected George W. Bush, I stopped trusting that American voters would not make ridiculously stupid choices; and things are only worse than that, now. As you can see from your other replies, already, there are some who are unperturbed by anything they've seen from Republicans, and/or have such a demonized view of Democrats (a.k.a. Socialists, Communists, or Globalist slave-masters), that the GOP will still get plenty of votes. Have you, in fact, seen the thread on the recent poll, which found that more Americans trust Republicans-- the Party that was just set to create an economic crisis, by not voting to allow the U.S. to make good on our debts, so to default-- than they trust Democrats, when it comes to the economy? I think that-- how the economy is doing-- as is usually the case, come election time, will play a big part in the result (which is why the Republican strategy to get more votes, is to throw a wrench into everything they can-- and this actually seems to be helping them!). But the Dems have numerous opportunities to help themselves, beginning with closing the deal, on this infrastructure package. If they muff it up, it will not bode well for their chances, next November.

    I don’t understand how you are conflicting my posts.

    One was showing the deficit spending (pre or post COVID) didn’t really impact the trend lines on unemployment and he did indeed end with less employment than when he started. I never blamed trump for this as it was largely shutdowns so your assertion there is blatantly fraudulent. He absolutely failed on all fronts on having a message to mitigate COVID and his previous economic policies were based on unfunded deficit spending.

    I also never said Democrats do not hold any of the blame. There are global supply chain issues, these did not exist pre-COVID and we still had marginal growth. Our suppliers are slowly coming close to being fully operational again so lets see where the issue stands in the midterms and in 2024.

    Fascinating that you arrived at the conclusion that I blamed and then excused anyone when you direct quoted me and my post contained nothing but facts. What are you disagreeing with — from my exact postings not what you invented.

    Uhhhh. You must have a Trump echo in your head because I didn't say anything about Trump's approval. I guess you equated 'sanity' with Trump. When you compare him to this present shitshow, he looks like Reagan on steroids though.

    The trump echo is you —

    Unless you want to say “mean tweets” is attributed to someone else?
