    Possibly, but the trend of American elections where we’d typically see 8 years of one candidate being president then switching to the other party for 8 years is likely over now. The average boomer has started retirement, and the young voters replacing them are increasingly left wing given the last 20 years of failures from U.S geopolitics in regions like the Middle East or even domestic issues like how fewer and fewer people can own a home.

    Historically, the midterm elections should have been a right wing blowout, especially with the economy in its current state.

      We can’t forget that a lot of their voters died from Covid because they thought veterinary medical supplies would help them fight it or that is was a hoax.

        Absolutely, the margin of votes needed to win in swing states is only 2%, where the mortality rate of COVID if you’re old is 10%, Republican counties are around 30-70% more likely to spread covid

      Probably domestic issues only. Only right wing cares about geopolitics.

      Also this is world-wide trend.
