I respect your commentary. Maybe an “abortion paranoia” strategy will work (or at least temper an electoral red wave in Nov). Honestly, though - $5-6 gallon gas, 9% inflation, 6-7% mortgage, refusal of the party in power to enforce existing immigration laws, Afghan debacle and on the way towards “losing” their subsequent proxy war in Ukraine, dedicated policy destruction of existing national energy and food supply sufficiency, etc will probably be too much to overcome. Current POTUS and Congressional Leaders have utterly failed to explain why these things are happening and what they are doing to fix it. To make matters worse, the hateful and demonizing political rhetoric currently employed by the Dems (and their media sympathizers) towards their opposition quite frankly rivals anything Trump initiated (IMO). Threatening to stack the court and abolish legislative procedure is the rhetoric of failure, not re-election…. Bottom Line - I believe people will compare their “existence standards” from two years ago with current circumstances. And vote accordingly. The party of a POTUS with an under 30% overall approval rating has very little chance in a midterm. Appealing to human emotionalism and identity factions/issues will not save a legislative majority in this economic environment.

I hope you are right.
