If the Democrats get Crippled in the Midterms, Here are the Top Five Reasons Why
Its predictable!
Right now the United States faces a series of crises both foreign and domestic: Some of these problems are entirely self inflicted- the economy was doing well, and then Joe Biden decided to fix what ain’t broke, so to speak. In other cases things are out of the hands of DC- if Biden suffers an aneurysm it won’t be because of a explicit foreign or domestic decision-making process. While the plethora of issues the nation faces is vast, five particularly stand out as potential road blocks for the Democrats in the 2022 midterm election.
1. The Economy: Inflation has begun to soar. Part of this has nothing to do with Biden himself, and rather involves blue state lockdowns and international trade, but the president invariably gets both credit and blame for the economy. We’re also having an oil crisis at the moment due to the pipeline ransomware attack- every boomer will recall the Jimmy Carter era marked by exactly these two same fundamental issues.
2. The Border Crisis: April border crossings were at a 20 year high. If Biden is incapable of defending the border, it will cause havoc down ballot not just in 2022 but potentially 2024 where Trump may well decide to seek a second term Grover Cleveland style.
3. Afghanistan: Biden pushed back the withdrawal date from May 1st to mid September, for removing US forces from the longest hot war in our nations' history (remember, technically we've been at war with North Korea since the 1950s, but that is not a shooting war, per se.) If all Hell breaks loose, Biden can blame Trump for the withdrawal itself but not for the delay or execution thereof. Indeed, all Hell is likely to break loose given murmurings from the Taliban.
4. Bidens' Absence: Jen Psaki literally stated the other day that Biden is constantly admonished by his staff not to communicate with the press off the cuff. If a president has to be hidden even from soft-balling legacy media journos-so-called then there must be a wider issue.
5. Bidens' Health: Considering Biden has fallen down, broken his foot, had several brain aneurysms, and clearly suffers from early stage dementia, there's no guarantee the midterms are even going to be championed by Biden and not by psychopathic Kamala Harris. The Democrats and legacy media refuse to discuss this issue that is at the back of everyones' mind.
Despite these concerns I still see the Democrats getting at least 150% of the vote.
We're going to have to make some serious changes to voting laws. And we're going to have to be super duper conscious of what's going on. The Democrats have cheated their way into the White House and a Senate majority. They'll cheat again, they can't help themselves.
