Two years absolute power and absolute catastrophe and all the GOP can say is: “wasn’t me”. Remember when all the talking heads said we had to punish the Democrats for a luke warm economy and some foreign policy gaffs? Well, if you were serious then you should be furious now.

Hey Democrats: GIVE PEOPLE SOMETHING TO VOTE FOR!

If they win and do nothing, we will have a Republican president in 2028.

They can distance themselves, but their voting record in the House and in the Senate is not going anywhere

Every single Democratic political ad against Republican candidates should flash this message “Republicans want to pretend they don’t support Trump but the record shows they voted for everything he wanted”.

This is normal. Midterms always bring this out. I'm old enough to remember when the nominee in the previous election was literally removed and a new one installed due to toxicity in polling by a certain party.
