    Before midterms? No way. Republicans have been trying to cover all this shit from coming out so they are all in on the Trump train.

    If the Democrats sweep the midterms, maybe? Though Democrats may also just decide to not do anything, they’re not inspiring a lot of confidence after caving with the shutdown.

        With how the GOP has speed ran everything else so far and the fact that people were elected that are “controversial” to American society then, yeah, I do have hope that we will.

        I’d think they’d have shown their hand this election even somewhat just to show how “strong” the party looks and how the people reject the democrats.

        That didn’t happen though, so hope remains.

          What election are you referring to here? New York Mayoral race?

          You do realize the Feds have a SHIT TON more power over Federal stuff than they have over State rights? I mean, last time the GOP was not half as powerful as they are today and they literally orchestrated an insurrection just to not give up power… do you think peaceful transfer will take place now?

          I mean, I hope you are right but I don’t see how you could be

            I’m talking about all of the races. NYC is definitely the biggest one.

            I realize they have more power over federal races, but they also have a ton of money poured into local races as well because owning that helps to ease or nullify pushback of federal challenges happening within states.

            I admittedly don’t know if voting machines were used in these types of races or how votes are tallied. So this factors heavily into why I am posting my thoughts here.

            Like I said, it’s hope and we won’t know dick until it actually happens. We still have another vote for funding on healthcare, Epstein files, MTG pissed at Trump and being loud, dissension and possibly fighting between factions within Heritage Foundation and Groypers. There is a lot that could turn even somewhat Republican minds toward fighting against Trump which could open the door for a Dem wave.

            Like I said, it’s hope. My expectation is that Rs will keep their control and cement that we are done.
