  • Official 2026 Midterm Election Thread (If Trump lets us have one! TIC!)

    Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

    For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

    Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

    "If Trump let's us have one!"


    There would need to be a significant turnaround in political fortunes for the GOP to retain the House.

    They seem poised to keep the Senate but I think the likelihood of the Dems getting the Senate are more realistic than the GOP keeping the House

                The GOP has seen how bad ICE looks to anyone outside their bubble. They are officially worried now:

                "...you pointy-headed autopsy nerd. Do you think it's possible for you to post without using words like "hilarious," "absurd," "canard," and "truther"? Your bare assertions do not make it so. Maybe your reasoning is too stunted and your vocabulary is too limited to go without these epithets."

                      Unlikely this admin, or any admin, can pull off an operation to steal elections. Too many variables and moving parts to clandestinely pull it off. I really don't get the paranoia from the left and the right about stolen elections. It's conspiracy theory. The GOP could pull it off if political or world events break in a way that changes the current dynamic. An act of war or market change in unexpected directions. Not likely, but whoever wins it won't be because it was stolen.

                            I don't think it's fair to label this as paranoia. He did try to coup the government. There is established history there.

                            There are several ways the elections can be fucked with, from MAGA elections boards refusing to certify results to ICE manning polling places

                            Steve Bannon, Michael Flynn etc have talked about this stuff.

                            It's also an oversight to equate concerns about what MAGA might do since they have lionized seditionists to the lies Trump told about 2020.
