The Coming Blue Wave

Believe it or not, midterms are just around the corner, so it is just about time for me to make my biannual election predictions for Congress and it is not looking great for conservatives to say the least. After suffering several losses across the country this year, there is no reason to believe that it will get any better a year from now. The economy, by nearly every metric, is the worst it has been in several decades. That alone is a key indicator for the incumbent party will fair in any election, but especially in Congress where economic is molded into law before being sent to the president for his seal of approval. Job losses are now in record territory. Inflation remains high. And, perhaps most jarringly, Americans are now defaulting at levels not seen during the Biden administration on thigs like student loans, car payments and credit cards. Voters came out in full force to reject Bidenomics and, unfortunately for them, it is starting to look like doing so was the wrong choice. Obviously, I argued that conservatives had no idea how to deal with such a volatile economy last year during the elections, but the reality is that there is very little you can do to convince voters that things can get any worse when they are already bad. The truth is though that things very much did get worse and, in all likelihood, will continue to worsen while conservatives are in charge. It is just a fact that, for all their downsides, Democrats have always done better when it comes to the economy. Sure, they can be annoying, elitist and even unsavory, but liberals know how to make money and keep the working class afloat. It is what they are best at. Once conservatives lose their three branch super majority to a blue wave next November, the sitting president will be a lame duck, powerless to really do much more damage to an already reeling American workforce, though his kangaroo supreme court and serial executive orders will still be able to cause them even more pain, that pain will be greatly dulled and since there will be a lot of folks hurting and very little action coming from the White House to prevent it, a Democrat will likely sail into office a few years from now. This all could have been prevented had Trump taken a smarter approach to the economy, even just avoiding archaic and, frankly, ridiculous methods like imposing tariffs on neighboring countries just because you are mad at them would have staved off a great deal of suffering for the average small business owner and consumer alike. But we all know by now that MAGA is not known for moderation. They are always overdoing it and shooting themselves in the foot. It is kind of how they operate. They cannot help themselves. But the modern right is not just MAGA. There are more moderate members, like certain Christian sects that tend to vote conservative to avoid things like taxes and just out of moral obligation to their values. They are not necessarily the kind of folks who are trying to take over the world like Steve Bannon. They just disagree with things like gay marriage or legal cannabis. This more moderate section of the right is very unhappy that MAGA has embraced groypers. If you do not know what that word means, you will soon because they are very much the future of the modern right and they are even more extreme than MAGA. This openly racist group looks takes the phrase America First and essentially applies that to a white Christian nationalist mindset. MAGA is not just composed of white folks. They are definitely in the majority, but there are black, brown and Jewish members of MAGA as well. Groypers are no fans of Jews. In fact, Nick Fuentes, the oddly mixed-race leader of groypers, who, believe it or no, happens to have Mexican ancestry, has been extremely hostile to Israel, a hot button issue that has divided many conservatives on whether or not it is right for Israelis to continue to receive funding while white Americans starve. It is all coming tumbling down.
