I’m listening to “Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail 1972” and came across this quote from Hunter S Thompson while he lamented the inevitable downfall of the McGovern campaign in the summer before the election.
Nick Bombowsky
the Democrats retaking the House and Senate, on its own, will not destroy the Republican project. The only way to do that is a broad, years-long cross-ideological commitment to break American conservatism's power base
TL;DR congressional Dems must be forced into war with the used car salesmen.
Robert Evans (the Only Robert Evans)
This is dead on. If the Democrats retake the House and Senate--or even just the House--it could mark the beginning of the end of a 50-year Republican project. If they can't? The GOP will spend the next 2 years destroying all remaining guardrails. Most important midterms of our lives, no question.
Mark Harris
The Roberts Court, the Trump White House, and the national GOP are acting like this is their one big shot. Either they secure the lasting end of US Constitutional democracy, or they’re in very serious trouble from the backlash. And they’ve already gone so far that there’s no other possibility.

all this sweaty calvinball horseshit feels like hysterical panic from the court
