    Trump forgot the first rule of dictators, never openly betray your base.

    This doesn’t hold true for Trump because his base doesn’t have the mental capacity the good lord gave to turkeys: Trump can hurt them and insult them all he wants, they come back for more.

    Don’t bet on the Democrats winning the midterms too fast: if Trump and his henchmen don’t rig the elections, I wouldn’t put it past his dumb MAGA minions to pull a rabbit out of the hat.

      20-30% of the voting population will never wake up, but signs are saying that the less committed are actually waking up.

      Also, Trump’s die hard supporters have never turned out in droves when he isn’t directly on the ballot.

      Trump is still trying to rig things, but you need a believable amount of votes in the first place to pull that off.
