1. Now, imagine the numbers a year from now

When the economy will be in recession, with double digit inflation, and millions who have lost their healthcare or see their premiums double.

Trump could end up being the “Great Unifier”, bringing together suffering Americans from all races and parties in opposition to his corrupt, destructive fascism.

If it gets bad enough, no amount of anti-immigrant hatred or Antifa-panic will be able to counter the real life suffering of millions struggling to put food on the table, keep a roof over their heads and stay healthy.

Even the desperate gerrymandering gambit isn’t likely to save them - if California’s prop 50 passes, republicans will net a max of 7-8 new seats, which means Dems only have to flip 9-10 seats to regain the majority.

Current projections are for a 20-30 seat pickup for Dems; imagine what those numbers will be a year from now.
