Why I have hope for the mid-terms despite SCOTUS rigging districts and threats of using Trump goons on voters

I'm 61 years old and just got gas.Granted, I was on fumes, but it was $4.95 a gallon: $61.36 to fill up! Never in my life has it been that high. I'm so tired of winning; maybe some MAGA are too.

Also, some MAGA might finally be waking up to that fact that he is not just a pathological liar; he is completely incompetent and hurting their lives.

Now; if we can get them to understand that everything he does is because the Republican Party approves and refuses to stop him.

We can only hope!

to swamp the comparatively feeble cheating the Reich wing was using then.

We'll need an even bigger margin now.

1/3 of voters hate Trump, 1/3 love Trump, and 1/3 didn't vote. That last third is our best hope.

Our best motivator is the gulf between the rich and their enablers, and the rest of us. Like the sticker says:

What minority is wrecking the US?
The rich.
