no one reads the articles. all of the quotes assume this is because the party is broke because of (spins wheel) whatever that person is mad about today, but the reason they’re scrambling is because they’re trying to run moonshot campaigns in deep red districts they ordinarily would never attempt

Rs dropped six new polls today. So in the last 9 days they've dropped 32 Senate polls in 14 states by 7 pollsters. It's a manic, desperate effort, and no one should be fooled by what they are doing. 1/

This is really getting out of hand. There are DOZENS of court cases in which Dem groups are fighting to protect trans people from the horrors that are underway. Members of Congress don’t have standing to be the plaintiff in most suits (Joyce Beatty does because she’s on the Kennedy Center Board)…

So in the last 8 days desperate Rs have dropped 26 Senate polls by 7 pollsters in 14 states. They've done this kind of stuff before but the manic intensity of the effort suggests a level of desperation consistent with spiking gas prices, escalating global chaos, and a deteriorating battlefield.

If you find yourself dooming, it's worth recalling that Trump has neither the legal nor (more importantly) the practical ability to effectively federalize & rig the midterms. But if you find yourself complacent, it's important to note he can cause a whole lot of chaos by illegally trying & failing.

Trump has been around since 2015. His appeal to irregular voters is one of the most thoroughly over-analyzed aspects of US politics. Apparently the secret is to appear to them as a magical creature that will take their venal impulses and manifest them onto reality
