The 2022 Election

[The Great Zaganza]

There are some things that are going to help Democrats:
The Supreme Court will probably smack down the Texas Bounty hunter bill, which will demoralize those who thought that having six Judges would get them their Theocracy.
And if the court actually does do away with Roe, that would be an excellent rallying cry for Democrats.

I think if the US defaults and sends the country into a recession it's all over for the Dems in 2022.

And then the Civil War. We know.

GIve me some reason to be opitmistic about the next few years in the US.I see little cause of optimism. The GOP is Evil but Competent about what they need to do to seize power, but Dems seem to be self destructing by infighiting.
I just don't see how, to be specific, the blame game over a default, if it happens, can be shifted from the Democrats to the GOP because the Dems are perceived to be in power. The blame game is all about who is perceived to be to blame, not who is actually to blame.

I'm not worried. All those banking special interests will step in first. The major investment banks won't care whose fault it is. They'll apply pressure until it's fixed.

Of course, if Democrats want to win in 2024, they need to poor in organization, resources and 527 money into state races in Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Nevada for 2022. They need to pick off vulnerable State House members and go hard negative early on Trump backed Secretary of State candidates. If the Lincoln Project wanted to do something besides taunt, they could try to run Raffensperger or his deputy, the pudgy guy with a temper as a third party candidate if a piece of Trumptrash wins the GOP primary.

The enemy (Trump supporters) found the resistance points. 2022 is when they'll try to remove them.

Winning 2024 will be easier than 2022, because traditionally, Republicans are more motivated to vote in midterms than Democrats.
