Red Wave is No Guarantee
That's why Republicans look forward to voting.
Fear of losing is great. The turnout may never reach the Biden "turnout", but it will be huge.

1, As awful as Biden is, he still has around 41% support due to party loyalty. Party loyalty will bring in many Democrats.

2, Republicans are fractured and have many weak candidates.

3, Even Herschel Walker is in a close race and he is popular in Georgia.

4, Many individual races are neck and neck.

5, Look at Michigan, Democrats blocked Michigan's best Republican Candidate from getting on the ballot, probably because he is a black conservative and Biden is hostile to them openly telling them that they aren't black.

6, 5 months is a long time in politics.

7, wedge issues like abortion and guns will rile up the liberal base.

8, 2000 mules.

9, Early voting.

10, Republicans have a poor message.

11, Trump has his supporters, but he has millions who despise him and his connection to the party still hurts.
New poster who joined in the last week. Seems to me like you are a Dem operative.

He's either a very bad Dem operative who is unintentionally motivating republicans or he's a republican.

Voters in my state destroyed the Republican sponsored amendment C and are going to legalize marijuana (again) this November, and Kristi Noems reelection is far from certain. That's what they get for using the courts to throw out legal marijuana. We are libertarians and we like our freedom. I don't know if I'll vote democrat in November because Noem at least let us have Delta 8... Had she banned that she'd be gone.

I did vote no on C. Bottom line both parties can irritate their voters.

There will be a red wave though. Democrats are a train wreck. I don't know if I'd trust giving one power in my state regardless of how moderate they are.

My friends were not movement conservatives, i.e. Goldwater and William F. Buckley fan types, but "fairly conservative" as I said; meaning they were fiscally conservative, maybe voted for Reagan, but not Bush II and would have voted for McCain against Hillary, but they had some romantic liberal notions on race relations and thought Obama would have us all holding hands, singing "I'd like to teach the world to sing.." and all the divisions would melt away.

So no, not movement conservatives.

Yes, you did.

You could have voted third party, written someone in, or left the POTUS slot blank.

"After banning abortion"
Ah the ill-informed!''

What is wanted is for each STATE TO DECIDE.

You really need to broaden your news "sources"!

"including even condoms."

You should take up fiction writing!

"If I vote,..."

Typical way to waste a vote!

"I hate to say it,"

No you DON'T!

"The Republic party needs to quietly distance themselves from Trump"

Only you wish!
