Maybe the Election Will Work Out in Our Favor?

I was upset on Wednesday. In my view, the Democratic Party — not just its self-described socialist faction — is a grave threat to America. But after having a bit more time to reflect on the news, I have convinced myself (maybe without any good reason) that the new regime could potentially bode well for Republicans in 2028.

As I know from my years surrounded by radical leftists on campus, the most progressive Democrats, as a way to signal their superior moral virtue, will likely refuse to cooperate with their own party (at least occasionally); the majority will suffer from internal divides that prevent “progress.” Whatever does get passed can be vetoed, or subjected to judicial review in the courts. The Democrats will ultimately fail to deliver on a wide range of promises, and at least some congressmen (maybe even most) will preoccupy themselves with . So I’m just not convinced that the personnel change is destined to produce disastrous policy changes.
