Yeah, I don't wanna sound /too/ optimistic, but the hell we're in was the making of a gop senator and administration. The gop is now returning to obama-era obstructionism (trying to pin the dem gov'ts slow pace and ineffectiveness on the dem party) l. That obstructionism is delaying relief, but can't do so indefinitely. We started so far down that there's a lot of room to go up. There's certainly room to go further down, but the night and day differences between the gop and dem governments (and their approaches) leads me to think things will be getting noticably better for most people in short order. And the gop is splitting a bit, with the more misanthropic side seeming to have the advantage in the base, and a stalemate within the leadership.

If gop is planning obstruction in the hopes a majority "votes their pocketbook" - well, the Dems have the advantage so far as that strategy goes.

If they're gunna double down on qanon, misinfo campaigns (that align with efforts by foreign governments), and misanthropy... I mean, I think voters are growing savvy to the plot, so it's no longer a "zero-day exploit", and the misinfo has lost ground on social media, msm, AND they lost control of the federal aparatus that they used to signal boost and validate the lies.

They're gunna keep pushing the radical left to shame their lib friends for paying attention, participating, and voting in collonialist western politics, and I'm worried on that front, but I also fight on that front every day, and I know there are many leftists that hate collonialism but choose to pay attention and be smart about knowing the players and the moves in order to be more effective, and they're pushing back against the (clear "controlled opposition") strategy of using qanon leftists to convince progressive, liberal, and other left-leaning voters to abandon "lame-stream-media", abstain from voting, and abandoning the federal aparatus to Nazi control.

Also, let's consider demeanor. Contrast Beto and AOC's extra-curriculars to Cruz's, over the past week. It's not chance it played out that way. There are not even odds any given day that a dem it rep will be caught pants-down shouting "gently caress you got mine." Two years of such contrast serves the Dems, not the gop.

And then there's the whole "international fascist machine." The sockpuppet strategy that came into focus around '14 (and bore fruit in '16) was a bit if a zero-day, and it seems it was the GRU that employed it so effectively that the impact could no longer be credibly dismissed and denied. Since then, a lot of other state agencies, parties, and other such machine's have assembled similar sockpuppet armies, and now they pulling in different directions. It was pretty clear, for example, that the campaign to convince georgia maga voters to sit out the senate runoffs was *not* run by the IRA or Newt Gingrich, and I'd expect the original effort began outside the international fascist machine.

So yeah. Vote your pocketbook favors Dems. Qanon and sockpuppetry are no longer effective zero-day exploits. Horseshoe theory is real, but I don't think the Nazis will tip any upcoming elections pushing there. The Dems have a demeanor that will appeal more to the common person than the GOP.

If the Dems gain ground in '22, and they push hard to rebalance the gerrymandering that favors the minority party, maybe expand the senate by admitting new states, and pack the court, along with aneconomy that ROARS back following the deployment of the covid vaccine...

I do not identify as a dem; I am an anarchist
anticapitalist antifascist atheist.

I do not want ever again in my lifetime to see the GOP make gains in any governing body. I'm willing to work for this goal.
