Early indicators are that the conservative media are already advancing the notion of a red swing in the midterm elections even despite the reality of the way Republicans are grossly and morbidly (mis)handling Covid, creating and coordinating voter suppression and a collapse of free and fair elections, and are pushing so desperately to whitewash the treasonous bloody insurrection of January 6th when the Trump mob tried to take down our democracy by calling it “a normal tourist” day at the capitol. The Republicans want to forget about it and move on. They don’t want for us all to know who, what, when, why, and how the insurrection happened and who planned and funded it. So, now, for the midterm elections, some of the conservative media, apparently, because of historical inevitability I guess, are proclaiming a possible red resurgence. That’s often what the media does. And it only ends up compounding and exacerbating our problems.
Since I wrote this I can now add that Republicans in Texas, with the assistance of the corrupt conservative majority of Supreme Court, have targeted abortion and turned citizens into vigilantes. They have established the state of Texas as a surveillance state. Texas, assisted by the Supreme Court, has destroyed privacy, self-determination, and a constitutionally protected right of reproductive choice that has been in place for the last fifty years.
