GOP canvassers are being threatened with cops by furious Republican voters: report

Source: Raw Story

March 29, 2026 7:36AM ET


Republican leaders at the state level are desperately trying to convince the White House that Donald Trump's Iran war, combined with skyrocketing food and gas prices, is heading toward a catastrophic midterm collapse for the party.

According to Politico's Samuel Benson and Liz Crampton, there are serious concerns that Republican candidate turnout will plummet significantly. GOP canvassers knocking on doors have encountered registered Republicans literally chasing them away with threats to call the police.

Each passing week of war compounds the economic damage. Economists warn gas prices could remain elevated for months even if the U.S. immediately de-escalates with Iran. Extended conflict also risks mounting American casualties, particularly if ground troops deploy to combat zones — a nightmare scenario for a president who promised to end "forever wars."

The political danger is acute. MAGA voters backed Trump partly because of their explicit rejection of endless foreign interventions and regime change operations. The war threatens to demoralize the very base Trump needs to show up in November.

is to make sure that the election is not fair or honest ...or that it is postponed (cancelled) altogether. .

They are on it. We have to be fully prepared.

and the Strait opened, it's going to take months to over a year to get things back to normal. You don't shut off oil and gas fields like the kitchen light. And Gulf states have had to "turn things off" for lack of storage space. They have to be brought back online slowly and carefully. A critical choreography. If things go wrong, crude separation, i.e., going waxy and clogging rock pores, or infiltration from ground water, the field could be damaged permanently. Then, there's the whole tangled mess of supply chains we're all too familiar with from covid.

Face it, Pukes, Donnie fucked it up for all of you this November. And the country and the rest of the world too. 2026 is going to be one ugly year economically.

And if the Whitehouse in 28, it will be like every other Democratic party takeover of a Republican administration, digging the country out of a hole. Having to spend any extra money on that, and not any new policies that might win the public over. And of course the endless blaming for the downturn by FOX and friends in RW media

the mess left by irresponsible republicans and their idiocy. The mess we might inherit in 2028 will take how many terms to clean-up? 2, 3, 4? My guess is 4.

But maybe it means they'll stay home and not vote at all. It could give our D candidates enough of an edge to make the difference and get us a BLUE WAVE in the House and Senate. It would be nice to get a few more Democratic Governors elected too.

for the next 30 years . We will need to break up all the monopolies, reform the Supreme Court, control our own data, end the privatization scams, and establish that the purpose of government is serving the people, not corporate entities.

It is going to take an organized citizenry.
