25. I Hope So

I agree there are lots of what if scenarios that may play out. And I remain hopeful that the goons will be met with anticipated responses to thwart them even if they appear not to be able to affect the outcome of elections. And I also hope you are right about the math adding up to the largest blue wave defeat of anti-democratic candidates ever. Not a doomsayer but just wondering about possible scenarios because there are always unforeseen actions taken by those desperate Trump forces who are willing to do anything to try and win. Some pundits are even asking what happens if Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to seat newly elected Democratic representatives in The House due to some trumped up "voting irregularities" to be settled in court. I remember the precedent of Al Gore's stolen election that was "settled" in court. But I do hope all the war-gaming scenarios will be totally effective in defeating every instance of election rat-f***ing attempted by all the fascist goons, Justice Department stooges, Cabinet members and Congressional sycophants.
