I truly would but that just isn't the case.

They are already starting to shape the narrative to control the elections. There will NOT be a free and fair election in November.
All they need to do is post their gestapo ice goons outside key voting locations in Democratic polling areas in purple districts around the country and randomly harass, question or arrest people to dissuade others from voting and as long as they can pick off enough Democratic voters, they will retain control of the House.

Sure, people will protest and complain and file lawsuits but by the time a judge even looks at it the election will be long over and no way to change its outcome.
I have a feeling the next two years will make the first two years seem like a vacation.
