    polls don’t account for all the shenanigans and outright illegal efforts being made by this administration and other magats at the state and local level to control the outcome of the elections.

    Due to Fetterman, the Democrats need 52 seats in the Senate for security.

    In addition to the 34 Democrat-held seats not up for re-election, 13 (counting the somewhat less certain North Carolina and New Hampshire) will likely go Democrat, requiring five of the following states to elect Democrats:

    • Alaska
    • Iowa
    • Kansas
    • Maine
    • Michigan
    • Ohio
    • Texas

    Assuming Kansas goes Republican, the Democrats need 5/6 of the remaining ones, with Maine and Iowa seemingly being the most competitive.

    Trump has been in office for roughly 620 days and has roughly 840 days left in his presidency. This means we still have roughly 60% of Trump’s presidency to go.

    If the democrats win both houses, he will incredibly angry and vengeful, and he will have nothing to lose. He has more than enough time and enough powers to cause utter mayhem. He is surrounded by sycophants who will not stop him.

    America is cooked.
