Inside us there are two Ringos trying to write a song. One about an octopus. The other about a garden. Make them kiss.

I one of my fears is a “blue wave” in red states so overwhelming that it triggers an election conspiracy mania. We get a thousand mini J6s cheered on and functionally supported by Trump/his loyalists (including the FBI) and enabled by Mike Johnson and other congressional Republicans.
Republicans redistricted to win five new seats in Texas. All five are projected to be between R+4 and R+8. To achieve this, they diluted their advantage in other districts.
A 15-point swing in November wipes out Republican control of the state. A 30-point swing erases Republicans in Texas entirely.

I believe the bigger the L the GOP take, the more extreme the response. Congressional GOP might not join in burning it all down if they maintain enough seats to be an obstruction. But if something insane like Texas losing every single Republican rep happens, all bets are off.

I mean, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing I’d love more than a midterm that effectively neuters the GOP, but collectively the Republican Party is a gang of corruptables who would rather slice the throat of democracy than get their balls snipped for a single term.
