Will it be a red wave or a blue vindication? Both tribes have done everything possible to lose, to demonstrate their inability to break free of their most radical influences that the vast majority of a nation despises, to offer candidates that people want to vote for rather than hate the least.
Nobody knows what tomorrow will bring. At least I don’t, no matter what I suspect. Is it the death of democracy as the president and the New York Times claim, or is it the pocketbook concerns that affect ordinary Americans in their daily lives?
Did the Republicans blow it with the Supreme Court’s Dobbs decision, energizing pro-choice Americans to make their views known, or did the Democrats blow it with their cries for social justice and equity while people watched the price of milk climb out of reach and random people being murdered on the seven o’clock news as Democrats told them their concerns about crime were foolish?
If the Republicans win, will they believe it proves that America loves election denying nutjobs who desire to perform sex acts on Trump? If the Democrats don’t get destroyed, will it prove that America truly desires a society of victims who can’t survive without government gifts that they totally deserve?
Or will it be the lesser of two evils, which means whoever ends up prevailing is still evil and just not as hated as the other evil? But what it will not mean is that anyone beyond the flaming nutjobs of the radical fringe actually support the candidates for public office, and the next two years will prove no better for a nation than the last six.
After the election, a million people will say they told you so, having made baseless guesses for their own purpose, some of which will prove correct as others prove absurd. This is your opportunity to see into the future and anticipate what the future will bring.
