I have a bet going with my father in law over the US midterms. He believes that the American midterms will swing things towards the Democrats and their country will get back on track. I took the cynical bet and said there was no way midterms would swing government control, because a) a large portion of the population is not inspired to go out and support the Democrats even if they don’t love the current administration and b) I fully expect whatever amount of fraud is necessary to ensure a Republican win despite poor polling.
I always hope I’m wrong and just taking being a pessimist, but articles like this make me realize that I might well be drowning my sorrows in a very nice bottle of wine in November.
