    Trump forgot the first rule of dictators, never openly betray your base.

    This doesn’t hold true for Trump because his base doesn’t have the mental capacity the good lord gave to turkeys: Trump can hurt them and insult them all he wants, they come back for more.

    Don’t bet on the Democrats winning the midterms too fast: if Trump and his henchmen don’t rig the elections, I wouldn’t put it past his dumb MAGA minions to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

      20-30% of the voting population will never wake up, but signs are saying that the less committed are actually waking up.

      Also, Trump’s die hard supporters have never turned out in droves when he isn’t directly on the ballot.

      Trump is still trying to rig things, but you need a believable amount of votes in the first place to pull that off.

          The fascists aren’t souring on fascism, they’re souring on Trump. Like rats fleeing a sinking ship.

          The thing is, fascists need a strongman to get excited for, so as they sour more, they will likely stay home from the polls.

          And that means a potential blue wave. Especially with the latest polls.
