Sorry to remind you that Republicans historically do better in the midterms because more of their voters show up regardless. That's one of the things the racist old fucks love to do with their copious amount of free time. Watch Fox News and head on down to the voting booths.

For many, it's likely the only thing they have to look forward to now that many of their families have abandoned them over this shit.

    Historically, yes. But that general idea has really been flipped over the last decade. 2018 midterm flipped the house D. 2022 gave Republicans control of the house, but not nearly as badly as expected and even gave an extra D seat in the Senate. There have been countless special elections (same idea, usually even harder than a midterm for Democrats) where they pulled through, giving Georgia and even (briefly) Alabama Democratic senators.
