Dems will likely do well, but I don’t think they’ll get 2/3rd majority and republicans for sure aren’t gonna help Dems, they’re too far gone. Every progressive policy that passes the House and Senate but gets vetoed by trump becomes a reason to vote for a Democratic President in 2028. Trump would almost be doing the Democrats a favor if he vetoed everything. Bluedog Democrats in Congress could vote for all kinds of progressive things with the knowledge they won’t pass into law. They’d be able to score all the political points with their constituency without suffering any fallout from their corporate donors. Imagine if, in the next 2 years, Democrats in Congress pass: Universal Healthcare Federal Minimum wage increase Cost ceilings on residential electric bills Slashed defense budget Increase in Social Security trust fund Resolution ending military actions Epstein file transparency laws All of these trump would veto, of course, but that leaves the GOP significantly worse off in the next election.

    That seems to be dependent on a dramatic misconception of how American politics works. It seems that only a very small demographic are observing this type of information, and I presume they’re all dem voters anyway. Everyone will ignore all of this and vote Republican because of the price of eggs or something.
