Waiting For Maybe A Blue Wave

LESS THAN six months until the election, and most indications remain predicting a blue wave, to one degree or another. Considering the administration and Congress so far, its no wonder why. When you consider that Trump and MAGA are still blaming Biden for everything, and that they are trying to change the subject to a hypothetical arch of triumph near the reflecting pool on the Capitol mall, you realize that Trump and MAGA are doing everything humanly possible to avoid actually discussing Trump, and the performance pf him and his administration.They'll use anythingthat works, whatever it takes. A ball room, an arch, Trump's face added to Mt. Rushmore, anything, whatever works. Whatever succeeds in taking the nation's attention off of the infamous and mysterious Epstein files. "The Epstein files", as they are called, is evidently a massive collection of documented evidence and proof that Donald Trump is indeed a pedophile who acts on his impulses, and is guilty of sexually abusing and raping children. Even if normal, everyday MAGA folk would rather the Epstein file quietly go away, they aren't likely to, at least, not soon. The war against Iran, Turmp's war of choice, is not making anybody, Republicans included, happy, The United States, and we the American people are far from being done with this war of Trump's (our) choice, and we might not be done with it for a lot longer than we now think, as is the case with all wars. It may be that by early November, when election day rolls around, his war against Iran may have become something of an albatross around Trump's fleshy neck. When one further considers how strenuous opposition to Trump has been, remains, and that it seems destined to only increase, and that as of now less than forty percent of the American support either Trump or his various wars of choice,it begins to seem increasingly likely that all this will hurt Republicans and help Democrats in November. But, as always, who knows? Its hard to imagine Trump gaining any new support from here on out. Anybody not on board with him by now most likely never will be. Opposition to Trump, over sixty percent of America, is rock solid, angry, and enthusiastic. So far it shows no sign of being well organized, by anybody, but what relly matters is voter turnout for the midterms. The higher it is, the more it becomes possible for Democrats to take both the House and the Senate, although the Senate will still remain unlikely. There are several ky aspects of this administration, other than the Epstein files and Trump's obvious lifeling immorality and criminality, which engender disapproval from both sides of the isle. Attacking Iran is one of them. All of Trump's nonsense about Canada and Cuba is another. But working against Trump and the Republicans more than anything at the moment is inflation, for which Trump et al will get the blame, as is always the case, depsite their best attempts to deflect it. No president can do much about inflation, which comes in cycles, like most economic phenomena, and must run its course. This is, however, a perfect opportunity for Democrats to pin the blame on Republicans, who, after all, currently have control of all three branches of government, and most state governments. No decent person wants the American people to suffer economically. But if in the coming months they do indeed suffer in the pocketbook, whatever state the economy is in on election day will not be attributed to Democrats, and will be directly attributed to Trump and Republicans.
