America seems determined to jump off a cliff come election day. Two main reasons for this are inflation and Trump's insistence and unproven claims of a stolen 2020 election.
As we know, there is no evidence whatsoever that the election was stolen. There's nothing, only intentional false allegations. There's no proof of a stolen election, there's nothing. Yet Trump's pull and sway over the GOP has made this lie a central tenet in the hearts and minds of Trump supporters. What do you do with that? Who had Trump destroys American democracy on their dance card?
Then there's inflation. Yet any idiot who can read will easily find out in about 2 minutes that inflation is a GLOBAL problem. It's not in the least little bit isolated to America alone. Read about England, which has significantly higher inflation than the USA, and then there's France and Japan and on and on, all these countries are experiencing high inflation.
Somehow or other enough Americans believe that the GOP which literally has two solution for everything, cutting taxes on the rich and removing hard earned civil advances including Social Security and Medicare, is going to fix this. It's unreal.

GOP voters don't necessarily believe in their candidates. Midterms are more about punishing the ones in power.
And Tr**mpism has amped up the grevience vote. But actual "belief"? I don't believe it.
The other day I was wondering why so many seniors would vote for Republicans who outright say they want to cut SSI and Medicare. The only tangible reason I have come up with goes like this. These seniors believe, truly believe, that the GOP will give them something better. This has to do with hating Democrats and fundamentally being invested in the GOP from way back. They trust the GOP implicitly.
I agree with the hating Dems part, but not the truly believe something better part.
We are wired to cut off our nose to spite our face. About that, I don't know why.
