Democrats Fear Midterm Massacre Even Though Voters Are Furious With Republicans

The Republican Party has had a really bad year, in spite of getting everything that they’ve ever wanted. The backlash from voters would suggest that Democrats are in a great position to make huge gains in next year’s midterms, but the Party doesn’t think that’ll happen. The reason Democrats are actually fearing major LOSSES next year is because voters aren’t happy with them, either, because they aren’t fighting back hard enough. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this very confusing situation.

We all know that recent polls have shown that the Democratic Party itself is at historic lows in their approval rating. There's never been another point in the history of the Democratic Party where they have had a higher disapproval rating than they have today. So the Democrats are in trouble, right? But you look over at the Republican side, we have never seen a Republican. We have never seen a President, not just Republican, but Republican or Democrat, ever lose as much public support as Donald Trump has in the first two months. We have never seen this many angry people showing up at town halls to call out their Republican elected officials. And the Republican party's approval rating is only slightly better than the Democrats. And if the Republicans keep on this path, you would think that even with the low approval of Democrats, they would be headed for a sweep of next year's midterms.

But there is one group of people that disagrees with that. And unfortunately, that group of people happens to be the Democratic party. The Democratic party is basically wetting their pants right now because they're afraid that even though Republicans are also historically unpopular, Republicans are still gonna prevail in the midterms. And it's not because they're gonna rig the system or disenfranchise too many voters or anything like that. It's because the Democrats fear that the public hates them too much because they're not fighting hard enough. Now, there's a simple solution to that, right? Like, oh no, my voters are not gonna support me because I'm not fighting back hard enough. Whatever. Will I do the, the answers in the problem? Okay, the, the voters are giving you the answer. We're mad at you because you're not fighting Trump enough. And these, uh, Democrats, according to the report, are sitting there saying, geez, if only there was, there was a solution to me not fighting.

Well, I don't know it. I'm an idiot. So these Democrats are now worried that not necessarily Republicans will win the midterms, but that they won't be around long enough to even fight in the midterms because they're now afraid of primary challenges from the left, who the voters may flock to because they are viewed as fighters. And to that, I say good primary challenges are a good thing. Hell, Elon Musk and Donald Trump are able to get the Republican party to fall in line right now, got all of his cabinet picks approved due to the threat of primaries. Democrats need that same threat, except

We're not saying fall in line. We're actually saying step outta line, get mad, get angry, fight back for the love of God. And they know that. But so do these potential primary challengers. I think every Democrat that votes with anything the Republicans do from the start of the Trump administration till next year, I think every one of 'em should be primaried. Every one of them. If you vote at all with Trump for anything, if you approve one of his judges, if you approved one of his cabinet picks, you should be primaried. If you voted for this Republican budget, you should be primaried. Chuck Schumer. Um, I don't, he's not gonna run again, hopefully ever again. But the point is, people want you to fight back, which is kind of weird because the people also just picked these idiots to run the government. And now they're like, why aren't you fighting back hard enough against the people we put in power?
