Then tell them that they must accept men competing against women in women's sports. And if they don't accept this they are just transphobic.

Poll after poll has the Economy as the most important issue, and in just about every poll it isn't even close. The only way it could "go either way" is if Biden turns into a Conservative and reverses all of the damage they did in the next 3 months....which is NOT going to happen. It may take the next two years of a Conservative Congress to just get us back to even and even then may be a slim chance.

The videos of the protests I've seen were horrendous displays of post modern "womanhood". Basically, the non breeders, since no decent self respecting man would want to be around 95% of that crowd. So what they hell do they have to protest anyways??? And why are the LGBTQ+ people coming out to these things and making their voices heard? Unless they are bi, what do they have to worry about when it comes to abortion, getting pregnant, etc?

Basically if the Republican's take back the house the Biden agenda comes to a screeching halt. Also many of the Biden officials will be called in for different hearings and embarrassed by how bad things really are. I am fine with it to be honest. A split government actually in a weird way works. Ideally I would want Conservative everything because I am as proudly right wing as you can get. Beggars can't be choosers at this point. I will take the victory. Biden will try to rule by EO and be struck down over and over. His losses will mount and he will not be the candidate in 2 years. However no matter what happens the truth is the damage has been done. Our country is in a downward spiral no matter who is in there.

I certainly hope the GOP takes over(to slow down this trifecta disaster) but not by a super majority or they will waste too much money and time on the Hunter Biden crap and mess up 2024 by keeping up the stupid cycle.

HRC investigated for years and no charges
Trump investigated for years and no charges
Hunter will get investigated for years and there will be no charges.
while Hunter is being investigated some new bombshell will happen on the GOP side that the Dems will demand it be investigated, hopefully not Trump as that ship has sailed.
No, it will not be different this time.

All it is is is a stupid game to keep people(the sides) fighting with each other while they take away our rights.

every cycle 1 side just investigates the other and wastes time and money, wake the heck up.

There is a frightening degree of irrationality deep in the psyches of half of America. They'll bleat and whine about all of the issues that make life difficult in '22 and then they will go back to the polls and vote Democrat ... presumably for the greater glory of their ideological religion.
Approx figures in 2020:

34% Independent
33% Democrat
29% Republican

there's no need to claim 1/2 the Country are Democrat and irrational. Not even half the Dems are irrational, though there are some polls which would define one as an irrational Republican or Democrat, and there are more irrational Dems.

The American people on both sides are pretty damn angry these days. Shall we say that the midterms are going to be pretty interesting this year?
Well most states allow abortion except for Texas and Mississippi and a handful of others so not going to be an issue. And those states were going to vote republican congress in mid terms either way.

we shall see.

I have personally reserved judgement on the 2020 election and the capacity of the left to cheat.

this election will tell a LOT about what happened 2 years ago.

Which leads me to wonder, assuming that John Roberts is indeed compromised, did the Democrats want Roe V Wade overturned in order to save the Mid Terms?

I trust nobody in DC, not even the ones that are allegedly on my team.
Once a case is heard by the court, it has to be decided that session.

Just 100 days until the midterms.
If the voting public had any brains they would vote out every one of them.
