Lots of good insights! My sense is that the unique impact of Trump 2.0 was such that this will create a unique reaction in the mid-terms that may bring together voters from across regional and partisan boundaries. Indifference and apathy are not valid options. I cite the opposition to massive corruption as one key issue that will contribute to that, provided that writers like yourself continue to write and educate the electorate.
I wish the Democrats were better prepared for this coming churn, but there's an excellent chance that many of the newcomers will be from the vast number of non-politicians forced out of government by the current administration - and they will do more to reshape the US, for the better, all things being equal, than at any other time in our history.
A thoughtful and well-reasoned article which helps educate us on House politics and governance.
