I speak of losing the House in 2026, and I'm afraid with all the shit they are trying to pull to with to steal the election. What do you think of Bill Maher saying the Democrats may win the election but they will never take power back? He's not the end all be all but that makes me worry.

First of all, I don’t see any evidence that Republicans keep the house. Trump is an 80 year old who is stuck in his ways (that’s putting it mildly) and isn’t going to get any more popular. However, I do think they are going to try to steal the election.

The main thing they are going to do is use voter intimidation via ICE. Have I heard a real strategy from our leaders on how to keep this from happening? Aside from Gavin, no. But I expect (and hope) we will see more activity on this front.

i hope so. I worry about the barriers they are putting up to stop mail in voting as well the ICE activity that will certainly happen. But these can be overcome with planning and foresight.
