The comparison is so clear and yet the Republicans either can't...or won't...see it.
The stupid or ignorant don't see it. Those who are neither stupid nor ignorant of history just won't see it. Or, if they do, just don't care as long as they "get theirs". It's the last group that I put so many of the GOP legislators in...and it makes them the worst.
 
Also, there's a clear path to the presidency for Donald Trump, and it respects Constitutional mechanisms. The GOP wins the House in 2022, and installs Trump as Speaker (technically, you do not have to be elected to serve as Speaker). That clears the path to remove the President and Vice President via the Second Amendment.

Or via impeachment, more likely.

The problem with Impeachment is that even if you win the house and have clear evidence with which to pass the Impeachment vote, you still need to get 67 votes in the Senate.

Trump might not live to 2024. Everyone knows he eats a ton of McDonalds and KFC, so ANTIFA working for those establishments might poison his food.

Honestly, I hope his death doesn't spark even more dangerous QAnspiracy theories that may cause millions of people to permanently turn to violent anti-government sentiment.

No, I'm the one who brought up impeachment. I don't think it could happen soon... but after three cycles it might be possible within his second term.

Do you really think that they could pick up 17 seats by 2026?

No one has had that sort of majority in the Senate since the Democrats in the 1960s, and the Republicans haven't even managed to break 60% since 1921, so where is this turnaround going to happen for them to have the number to do something that in four attempts has never succeeded?

OMG, please shoot me now for saying this: the Repubs could steal Senate elections like they're setting up to ensure the 2024 presidential election by having the legislatures or friendly AGs or Sec of States declare the election of any Dem rigged.

Fortunately, I suspect (but haven't counted) that there aren't enough Repub state legislatures to get a supermajority in the Senate.

In 2018, the GOP held 32 state Senates and 29 Houses.

It depends on how many state legislatures they hold in states that a Dem might win a Senate seat.

I'm going to see how close I can get to actually counting without actually counting.
