Do we really even want to win the mid terms?

[Playa]

The last time the Dems held the Trifecta of the Whitehouse, House of Reps and the Senate was 1978 in Carter’s mid-term election. The economy imploded and set up 8 years of Regan+ another 4 of Bush and a mix of Republican controlled congresses.

Similar set up. Economic implosion that likely can’t be stopped, and may be larger than the carter presidency. So I ask, do we even want to win, or let the Left keep what they have so the poop splatters all over them instead?

With Republicans putting up candidates as lame as Herschel Walker, I wonder!! And yes, I am a staunch Republican. I am also a realist.

[Pedernal]

Not sure team red is going to take the senate… I don’t think the country will recover from two more years of all out spending so at least for me, it’s not a good idea that team blue controls everything

[jaime1982]

First question is who is (we)? Most Republicans don't represent us vile peasants.

We dont control nothing. They control it all. If enough people vote a certain way it will scare Them to do whats right maybe for a little while.

Great point all around. And definitely doesn’t stop with Herschel. As much of a joke as he is, several others are right there with him.

My only point is things are about pop, if ANYONE other than the D’s control anything they wiill catch the splatter when the proverbial ***** hits the fan . And the left leaning media will perpetuate the narrative that anyone but D is to blame.

It’s already taking shape. Biden said today, the economy will crumble if the R’s win…. That cookie gonna crumble regardless of who wins in November. It’s already cracking as is…

Yes it already has and it's gonna take 6-8 years to come back together(if it ever does) just like from the Carter years. Being 76 years old I remember those years well. Was tough times back then for me. Even after Reagan won it took me 4 more years to even get my head above water.

Yeah my parents talk about buying the house I grew up in around late 79 or 80 and financing it at 16%. Makes the current near 7% seem like highway robbery…

There is a huge difference between 1978 and 2022.

Think what the Democrats stood for in the 1978 midterms. They argued for decades whether we should raise welfare spending, increase the military budget but not by as much as the Republicans. We had just ended the Apollo program 6 years earlier and should we spend more money on space with the shuttle program, etc.

Those issues probably seem lame today.

Back then, if the Dems maintained control, the economy gets worse?

I was in my mid-20s when Reagan took office. As much as I detested the liberals idea of spending, I could never have imagined that the same Democratic Party would be pushing for teachers discussing sex change with 8 year old children at school and having criminals cross our borders nearly unopposed and then be given the right to vote. I could not contemplate tearing down statues, teaching that all white people are evil and the US military should not only accept transgender people but then use taxpayer money to pay for them a sex change.

We could go on with examples but unlike in 1978, there is no longer a discussion about cutting some military spending in order to for welfare programs and the tax rate.

I think that many of the senior Democrats from that era would be appalled at what is happening now. Reagan’s big hit in the campaign was, are you better off economically now than you were four years ago?

Today it would be… Are you better off having the public schools teach your children about changing their sex? Do you think the military should allow cross dressers into the service? Do you think that men should compete as women in sports and use the same locker rooms while still being biologically male? Do you think the Supreme Court should be increased to 15 members so the socialists can legislate from the bench?

In truth the Dems held both houses before and after the midterms in 1978. There was no change. It wasn’t like that used the midterms to gain control.

What does all of that mean? It means that back then not gaining of the majority in either house in the midterms really didn’t mean much. None of the issues I brought up were in danger of happening.

Does that same situation exist today? If the Dems hold or Oh My God!! increase their majority, will the only damage be a possible increase in taxes? Or perhaps we will see a push for federally mandated abortions all paid by taxpayers at any stage until birth? Sex changes allowed for pre-teens? Illegal aliens given the right to vote? Increase the Supreme Court so that religious arguments would be banned and the Second Amendment overturned? Electric vehicles mandated?

In 1978 the Dems maintaining control didn’t mean a whole lot. I think today is a different game.

Well stated, today we are in a fight for the survival of our country as we know it. Our values and ideals are under direct attack and the radical left (Dems) are hell bent on nuking it all. We are a ship that HAS to change course immediately, continuing on this course will take us into waters we can not recover from.

At least back then there was some bipartisanship that kept things running. Not so today. One side wants to build and the other wants to destroy. Politics these days cannot be all inclusive. Evil has to die.

[Death from Above]

I dont see alot of difference in Rs and Ds. It is a 2 party system that only benefits the political folks.

For the average Joe, it wont matter who is in office.

Taxes will go up and the morality of the nation will plunge.

Best thing I have found is just to unplug from it all as much as possible.

News, social media apps, blogs and other news sources are all used to stir turmoil and never report truths or solutions.

The PACE on TBH is about my extent of political stuff theses days and it is less and less.

All that to say, I dont think it matters who is in office because that party is way too liberal for my beliefs.

People WILL 100% fall for what the media tells them. Markets need to crash now. I say let the Dems win. I think we are too far down the toilet to change much at this point anyway. Let them finish us off and there may be hope to turn the poop in septic field green.

We are but nothing will change without something drastic happening to change people's mindsets.

This idea that conservatives just need to vote is wrong. I think we're already mostly voting. And we all know you ain't changing no crazy libs mind on how they vote...not unless they're going hungry.

[WItoTX]

I said this a long while back. R's will win big this fall. It's going to be gridlock until 2024, where everyone will blame republicans. 2024 rolls around, Biden is re-elected because the Democrats are just trying to e reasonable, according to the news, and the common voter can't be bothered to do any independent research.

Just watch.
