[quote=BlueFredneck][quote=Anonymous][quote=BlueFredneck]Abolishing or severely restricting private gun ownership isn't the road to victory in Texas. Beto loses by mid double digits. Ted Cruz wasn't likable and he was in a blue wave year.

A red wave is coming up. The only thing preventing 80 seats from flipping in the House is the lingering memory of 1/6. For many folks that cancels (heh) out the things with which they disagree with the Democrats. [/quote]

I remember the likes of you predicting a red wave in 2018 and 2020 too. I'll take your predictions with less than a grain of salt. Also Beto losing Texas wouldn't be a red wave - it's status quo.

Republicans, historically, should take back the House and the Senate in the midterms. It's what is to be expected. I don't look forward to it but I don't control history. We'll see if y'all improve your chances by cutting that idiot Trump loose or if you really want to lose as much as possible by keeping on hewing to him. Youngkin should teach you a lesson - that you're better off with Trump out of the picture. Let's see if you idiots learn that lesson.[/quote]

Anyone predicting a red wave in 2018 was a damned fool. Ditto 2020, although I did underestimate Trump's remaining reservoirs of support.

Keeping things blue will be the lingering memory of 1/6. Youngkin's victory need not be compared to that of Northam - rather that of McDonnell. In the absence of 1/6, Youngkin wins by double digits and takes back Loudoun at a minimum.

Making things red will be The Economy (if things stay as-is.)

Sadly, it seems employing large numbers of people at low wages is something to which we have grown overly fond of. Democrats' solution of just giving money to people might have prevented the ship from sinking but people don't like being crowded on the lifeboats.

The key is breaking our addiction to ultra-low wage labor, both here and abroad, and allowing people with associate's degrees and HS diplomas only career paths that involve some degree of honor and financial security (and Lord no, this isn't some hackneyed call to "join the trades.") But that will involve inconvenience for many, as we're culturally conditioned to believe that front-line retail and caring occupation workers are somehow "less than". [/quote]
