Just some amateur analysis from your friend, Good Old Matty P. Lemme tell you what's going on.
Democrats control both the Senate and the House of Representatives. Pres. Joe Biden, a Democrat, resides in the White House. Poll numbers for the bunch of them are in the toilet. The November mid-terms, which often go badly for the party of a first term incumbent, are looking like they not only will, but that they may be historically bad for Democrats. There are NO POPULAR ACCOMPLISHMENTS at all. None. Zero. Zip. Zilch. Nada. The economy is in a shambles every way from Sunday. Immigration, education, foreign policy. And don't forget the clusterfuck of a withdrawal from Afghanistan these dopes brung upon us. It's all negative and November is shaping up to be disastrous. If one of them says any different, that things are good under President Biden, that they're genuinely optimistic, I want to know the specifics. What's good? Who's happy?
It's in consideration of the preceding that led me to the following, admittedly amateur conclusion. I watched a lot of current events and issues. A few things strike me.
They are forecasting a surge of Covid-19 in the fall. Can you say "vote by mail and harvest ballots from unenthusiastic voters?" I knew you could. Covid worked before with Joe's unenthusiastic base, they're hoping it will work with a very unpopular Congress, too. Covid-surge? My ass.
Joe Biden is starting to talk about Trump. Blaming Trump for his failures. He's calling MAGA names. Since the Congress has NO ACHIEVEMENTS AT ALL to run on, he's going to use what worked in 2020. "I know you're not excited to vote for us, but we need you to vote against HIM, and also against those evil cretins who follow him!" He's trying to make 2022 about Trump, as opposed to his own lack of achievement.
And lastly, there is abortion. The leak of a SCOTUS draft ruling on Roe V. Wade was one thing, but the thing that caught my attention was the failure of an abortion bill to pass in the Senate. Thinking about that bill, it would have codified and protected abortion as a right throughout pregnancy, i.e. through the third trimester. They KNEW absolutely and 100% positively, they KNEW it would not pass. All they did was posit abortion as their issue for 2022. They have nothing else. NOTHING.
So, it looks like this for November 2022:
1. Cultivate unenthusiastic votes by mail, using Covid "protections and precautions" as justification.
2. Run against Trump, even if he ain't running. Run against Trump supporters, too. Call them racists, misogynists, the whole shooting match. Blame Trump for every Biden failure, no matter how far fetched. The base will love it. Stupid people might not check to see that they're lying, either.
3. Abortion is the issue. It's the holy grail. Don't push for anything resembling reasonable legislation regarding this issue. Silly stuff like incest, rape, and terrible genetic deformity exceptions? Reasonable people might agree. Can't have that. Restricting to early pregnancy? No. No. No. Blocking parental notification of supporting underage in getting an abortion? Yes, absolutely. The pregnant girl's parents? They're the bad guys. Resolving the abortion question through compromise and forming a reasonable coalition is a killer (pun intended). Can't lose our winning issue now, can we?
Get your best glasses on, so you can see through the 2022 Smoke and Mirrors Campaign, brought to you by the party that has the White House and the Capital all to itself, yet accomplishes nothing and presides over an ongoing financial implosion in our country.
It's scary to watch all this unfolding and the media supporting the lies without question.
