Will the voters throw out the Republicans in the elections of 2026?

Obviously, they cannot get a handle on their little dictator, Presidente Mayhem.

The damage he has done and damage he has yet to do will be undeniable. Full responsibility for the government lies with the Republicans and they will not be able to escape responsibility.

Some might point out that they don't want to change anything. They agree with what is being done. They enjoy their roles as Nazi lieutenants.

But, will the voters notice or will they care? Or do they also agree with everything that is being done in their names.

We patiently wait for the elections of 2026.

Some might ask, how do we know there will be elections in 2026 or that they will not be fixed?

What other options do we have?

The states are responsible for elections; there’s no evidence of elections being ‘fixed.’

The question is will likely Democratic voters come out to vote.

2. This is the target we need to look at now, 2026, and paint the Repugs with their failures/lies. Retake the House!

It is hard as you note as to how much attention the average voter really pays, but betting that Trump will not cure inflation/roll back prices; not balance the budget and will increase the debt; will not create a just peace anywhere in the world and could over see (poorly) the next pandemic (bird flu) we will have plenty of ammunition to paint the Repugs as f-ups and frauds. We need to figure out given MSM, influencers, etc. how we get that message to folks and get them to pay attention. It's a tough road and uphill battle but we have to take it on and win.

But there’s a lot of time left. Maybe not a lot but still time.
I think there will be elections…need to keep up appearances.
Will they be fair?…possibly, not entirely. Can’t show your hand too early…try stuff…big prize is 2028 election.
Hopefully we can sort out the trick’s before then if there are any…yeah right.

Yes, the voters care but the messaging needs to be flipped to blue…even to purple, get it away from blood red.
“Promises Made…Promises Broken” has to be hammered at voters incessantly, even in everyday conversations.
An Opposition leader(s) needs to surface…could be one…could be more. Then it’s gotta be a unified effort.

Once white supremists males get control of the nation's vote count, the question of will or will not becomes mute. Four years with power enough to accomplish it.
