10. It's never as bad for Republicans as it appears. . .

Republicans rely a lot on propaganda to help them win elections and you bet there will be plenty of that on Fox News, Sinclair, OAN, etc. from now until November. Musk himself will spend millions to help Republicans inflict more damage on the marginalized and poor in this country. Gerrymandered districts and voter suppression (voter ID laws, taking away early voting, etc.) all will have an effect. Also they are trying to make Americans more ignorant with their book bans and their attacks on "woke", and ignorant people are more easily swayed to their side. Republicans don't sweat because they know they have all of these things working in their favor.

Even if Democrats win they know our victory is only temporary and the way that Congress is set up we won't be able to accomplish much due to their fierce opposition to anything that would move this country closer to what they have in Scandinavian countries.
