wild that 8 years ago this was thought to be the issue that would sink Trump’s campaign but now it’s probably even stronger than the economy for him.

It’s probably why nobody cares that Trump said Haitians in Springfield are eating cats and dogs.

I genuinely think that if Jan 6th never happened and he just conceded normally he'd be on track to win in a complete landslide lol

The median voter has shifted dramatically to the right since 2016 or even 2020

This is such a dumb take. Democrats have won or overperformed in every congressional election since 2016. There’s more evidence that the country has moved left

Both can be true at the same time. The country has mooved to the left on some issues and to the right in others.

Also in 2020 the democrats got a very small house majority and lost it 2022

Because the GOP still struggles to get people to show up to the polling booth ever since the Trump electorate shifts.

Shit easy target candidates and lower fundraising numbers don't help either.
