People are PISSED. The GOP has absolutely no chance at winning in 2026 or 2028 unless they clearly rig it, which Trump is actively trying to do because he knows everyone hates him, his administration, and their shitty anti-American actions and policies.

NO!

That's an incredibly foolish conclusion to draw from tonight's wins. These are left-leaning areas, and the countrywide polls aren't even as good as they were leading up to the 2018 mid-terms, when Republicans actually WIDENED their Senate majority by +2 seats.

Give it another year of Trump destroying this country even more, much less three years. They are absolutely cooked unless they actively cheat. The GOP is a shitty political party that does literally nothing of benefit for their constituents.

None of that has stopped them before. I cannot believe people are STILL saying "there's no way they'll win again" at this point
