    Traditionally, a president this unpopular invites a huge backlash during midterms, even in relatively “safe” partisan territory.

    Gotta wonder what happens if the opposition party has an enormous turnout and yet the election judges award seats to all the original assholes.

    Also gotta wonder… if the Dems get Bush v Gore’d seat by seat across the entire country, what do they do next? Do they fight back? Or just blame Transgender voters and anti-genocide protesters again?

      Judging by US politics since Gore was handed a loss by the SCOTUS and the brother of his opponent - they won’t do a damn thing.
