> by the time people notice it will be too late / we will try to blame it on the other party?

This is it.

A lot of the things that the Republicans are doing that will completely fuck the lower/middle class don't actually take effect until after the mid-terms. This is an insurance policy so that if they get absolutely wrecked in the mid-terms, they can point to Democrats having the majority push blame onto them. On the flip side, if Republicans maintain control after mid-terms, by the time the next election takes place, people will have forgotten who it was that screwed them over.

Alternatively, they can just keep saying it's all Obama/Biden's fault. That still works.





> if Republicans maintain control after mid-terms

Is that still possible? I guess I'd assumed that they were set to lose, but I haven't been keeping up with the overall picture.


The Texas House just approved redistricting that will effectively give them +5 R seats.

Absolutely still possible.

They're misinformed voters that will be told that their food is more expensive because of Bidenflation, not because ICE arrested and deported the farm workers. As health care gets more expensive, they just get told it's because of ObamaCare.

When in doubt, just cry "WOKE!" and "DEI!" and they'll bend over for Trump and any Republican that claims to be friends with him.
