It is evident in their eyes. It is evident in their voices. The fear. The fear. The fear. That feeling you get when you do something really stupid, it’s too late to fix it, and you know what’s coming. Democrats on Capitol Hill, in the lapdog liberal media, and across America are bracing themselves for a good old-fashioned a**-kicking come the 2022 midterm elections. They should be, and they are.
It’s so much fun! that?
You might be wondering what the answer is. You want the answers in an alphabetical order?
Let’s begin with the elephant (how ironic) in the room: Donald Trump.
The Democrats were far more concerned with defeating Trump in 2020 — to the point of irrationality — than they were concerned with electing a Democrat president. That sounds insane. You are right.
What other explanation can a rational person give for the Democrat Party directing the nomination to an insane, 76 year-old man (at that time), who believes everyone in America is a fool? Right to “badakathcare” and wants to “lead an effective strategy to mobilize true international lead an effective strategy to mobilize true international “trunalimunumaprzure“? Oder something.
The bottom line was stopping Socialist Barnie Sanders from winning the nomination by circling the wagons around Joe Biden after he won handily in the South Carolina primaries — and of course, beating Trump at all costs. It’s been more than a full year since the election. Democrats, how’d ThisDoes it all turn out well?
Spoiler: It didn’t.
Mix the ineptest and most clueless vice president At leastIt is the modern history of our time. It is hard to imagine Biden having to resign. Goodbye, President Biden, hello President Harris.
And we think we’re screwed now.

The Biden presidency has been and remains an unmitigated disaster that’s only going to get worse. While stage 4 TDS-stricken Nancy Pelosi continues her gnashing of the House’s gavel with her little, bony hands, Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer is a thin, Gollum-like tool whose levels of hypocrisy as well as depths of dishonesty have no limits.
Toss in the twin facts that 2020 was not supposed to be a good year for the GOP in Congress, yet Republicans flipped 15 seats, compared to the Democrats’ three, and the fact that the party that holds the White House does not historically perform well in the midterms.
Bottom line: Democrats Not to be panicked poopless.
Biden’s approval rating at 36%.
And that’s a Quinnipiac poll which typically favours Dems strongly. https://t.co/cavzMiW0yf

We’ve beaten to death — with good cause — the many crises of the Biden presidency. From the border disaster to the debacle in Afghanistan, gas prices, Bidenflation, the supply crisis — and Harris, of course. Yet the Trump-loathing, Democrat-loving “mainstream” media continues its ridiculous dog-and-pony show.

All of that said, let’s go to an outside source for a bit of insight on five specifics that should keep card-carrying Democrats awake at night as the midterms approach. Business Insider’s view:
Democrats Have Lost Control over the Suburbs
Four words: Glenn Youngkin, Winsome sears. The governor-elect and lieutenant governor-elect showed not only Virginia earlier this month; they showed the entire country — nobody more so than the Democrat Party — that election calculus can be changed. Business Insider pointed out that their paths to victory depended on winning back suburban and white voters, who had recently voted for the GOP.
It is enormous and easily replicated throughout America.
Democrats continue to lose among rural and blue-collar voters
“Rural areas getting redder while suburbs got bluer was a major storyline of Trump-era elections.”
Democrats enter 2022 with a concern math problem because of the erosion in Democratic support in rural areas and non-Trump Republican candidates pursuing new paths in suburbs.
Compared with the 2017 governor’s race between the Democrat Ralph Northam and the Republican Ed Gillespie, the southwestern corner of [Virginia]Youngkin, along with other Republicans, saw a higher turnout. McAuliffe received lower margins than Northam.
There are also signs that the trend is likely to continue in the United States through 2022, and possibly beyond.
Democrats can no longer bank on making every election a referendum on Trump
We saw it every day in Virginia — 24×7 — from Terry McAuliffe ad nauseam to Biden, as well. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Trump. Again, how’d that all work out? Great. Glenn Youngkin, Winsome sears and all the Virginians.
To Youngkin’s credit, he put enough distance between himself and Trump both stylistically and in his policy positions so as not to alienate diehard Trump supporters, Biden voters, or independents — all of whom he needed to win statewide.
Republicans Have Now a Plan to Win in Blue or Swing States
This is the key. The lessons of Virginia and elsewhere across the country where Repubs pulled off “upset” after “upset” must be replicated not only in 2022 but in 2024 and beyond if conservatism is going to ultimately kick socialism’s a** in America.
While Biden’s big win over Trump in the presidential race got most of the attention in 2020, down-ballot Republicans proved themselves able to shed Trump’s baggage, picking up about a dozen [net]Flipping over 80 seats in state legislatures and more seats in the House.
In the Northeast, Republicans continued that trend by securing more notable and under-the radar down-ballot wins.
Negative Polarization: Biden’s Terrible Approval Ratings and Down-Ballot Democrats
Clearly — and call it what you want — crap rolls downhill. A politician should dance with someone who can sing. That guy is Joe Biden, Democrats; he’s your self-anointed huckle bearer (pun intended). Your paramour,If you’re so inclined. Heh.
Over the past decade or so, the phenomenon of negative polarization, in which voters are more motivated by disdain toward the opposing party than affinity toward their own, has increasingly shaped American voter behavior and the outcome of elections.
This is manifested in Americans holding increasingly negative views of the other party and its voters and record-low levels of voters splitting their tickets between one party at the presidential level and down-ballot races.
While negative polarization gave Democrats a yuuge down-ballot boost in the Trump years as dissatisfaction with Donald — particularly among white and college-educated voters — delivered Democrats big wins in the 2018 midterms, the shoe is now on the other foot, as Democrats find themselves continually stumbling over the totally incompetent feet of the guy who brung them to the dance.
Even better — in the long run, as it pertains to future elections — that dance is far from over.
