Even I could see there would be no red wave. I knew the hype was wishful thinking on the part of the GOP and the Republican-enabling corporate media + very skewed polling (over representing older white males, etc.) + deliberate downplaying of the electorate’s post-Dobbs anger. As if half the population being being stripped of fundamental rights is an issue that would fade in light of the rising cost of avocados!
