Why the 2018 Mid-Terms matter

https://www.economist.com/leaders/2018/11/03/why-the-mid-terms-matter

Politicians are making Americans miserable. The elections offer a chance to change

AS AMERICA PREPARES to go to the polls on November 6th, the country is more divided and angry than it has been in decades.


Campaigning for the mid-terms has been marred by politicians routinely treating each other as rogues, fools or traitors.

In recent days a supporter of President Donald Trump has sent bombs to 14 of his opponents and a white supremacist has murdered 11 worshippers at a synagogue, in the worst anti-Semitic act in America’s history.


Toxic federal politics is America’s great weakness.

It prevents action on pressing real issues, from immigration to welfare; it erodes Americans’ faith in their government and its institutions; and it dims the beacon of American democracy abroad.

The mid-term elections are a chance to begin stopping the rot—and even to start the arduous task of putting it right.


Mr Trump did not begin this abasement.

But he has embraced it as enthusiastically as anyone and carried it to new depths of his own devising.

All politicians stretch the truth. Mr Trump lies with abandon—over 5,000 times since he was inaugurated, according to the Washington Post.

His deceit is so brazen and effective that many of his supporters take his word above any of his critics’, especially those in the media, and seemingly in the face of all the evidence.

That suits Mr Trump because, once nobody is believed, he cannot be held to account.

But it is disastrous for America.

Once reasoned debate loses its power to win arguments, democracy cannot function.


Mr Trump is also wilfully divisive.

All politicians attack their opponents, but presidents see it as their duty to unite the country after a tragedy.

Only Mr Trump would think the Tree of Life synagogue shooting a chance to hit back at the media and the Democrats for criticising him (see article (https://www.economist.com/node/21753203)).

Only he would suggest that, rather than tone down his explosive rhetoric, he might just “tone it up”.

Such divisiveness matters because, when your opponents are simply bad people, the compromise that is the foundation of all healthy politics becomes hard within parties and almost impossible between them.

Conservatives forget history in discrediting Trump protesters

https://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/presidential-campaign/305749-republicans-employ-double-standard-to-discredit

Obama’s election in 2008 was preceded and followed by violent attacks and property destruction targeted against minorities.

More frequently, Obama’s presidency was marked by effigies of our first black president hanging from nooses across the country, for example in Kentucky, Washington State, and Maine (https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2009/racist-backlash-greets-president-barack-obama), or being burned around the world.


What Trump supporters fail to remember is that following Obama’s election, property was destroyed across the country, for example in Pennsylvania, Texas, and North Carolina, and a predominately black church was torched in Massachusetts (https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/intelligence-report/2009/racist-backlash-greets-president-barack-obama).

In 2008, anti-Obama protesters lashed out against minorities because of their discontentment with a black man being voted into the office of president for the first time in our nation’s history.


Conversely, in 2016, anti-Trump protesters are holding mostly peaceful demonstrations because of their discontentment with a man, who has ostracized minorities, being voted into the office of president.

And while anti-Trump protesters have engaged in mostly peaceful demonstrations against the president-elect, pro-Trump supporters have been responsible for a wave of attacks against Muslims, Latinos, blacks, and the LGBT community.

Offices always flip depending on who is in power. Americans are smart enough to know that they don't like what's currently happening, but too stupid to realize that voting in the side that they previously expressed displeasure with not that long ago isn't going to change anything. And the hamster wheel keeps on rolling.

Facebook announced Sunday that it has suspended 115 accounts due to suspicious behavior on the eve of the midterm elections.

https://thehill.com/policy/technology/415105-facebook-suspends-multiple-accounts-for-coordinated-suspicious-activity-on


The company said in a news release (https://newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/11/election-update/) that U.S. law enforcement contacted Facebook on Sunday night about online activity potentially linked to foreign entities.


In response, the social media giant suspended 30 Facebook accounts and 85 Instagram accounts believed to be engaged in "coordinated inauthentic behavior."

"We immediately blocked these accounts and are now investigating them in more detail," Nathaniel Gleicher, head of cybersecurity policy at Facebook, said in a statement.

"Almost all the Facebook Pages associated with these accounts appear to be in the French or Russian languages, while the Instagram accounts seem to have mostly been in English — some were focused on celebrities, others political debate."

Man that is some revisionist history, Yes there were people that protested against Obama, there were people that hated Obama but there were not widespread violent protests and counter protests. Just look at what you posted, the video obviously shot in the summer not right after the election or swearing in, a huge peaceful march with people signing "God Bless America" No riot police, no Arrests, No mask wearing thugs no smashed windows no burning cars. Your pictures show no violence either and are of a different protest so what is the context of their protest, how many people are there 10? 1000? who knows they are snap shots.

The anti Obama protests were largely peaceful tea party protests by people wearing patriotic get up if they were wearing any costumes and who picked up their trash and went home.

The Anti Trump protests are largely vaguely and sometimes overtly violent with constant violent and hateful imagery involving things like Nazi charges and sometimes confrontations with people who disagree that involve spitting on them or at times physically assaulting them such as reported. Anti Trump protestors like to dress up in all black garb and face masks reminiscent of 1930 fascists.. and will come armed with baseball bats and start fires at times .

A staggering 36 million voters cast their ballots ahead of Election Day this year, setting the stage for much-higher-than-usual turnout for a midterm — and, potentially, big surprises on Tuesday night.

Republican enthusiasm for President Donald Trump and Democrats’ itch to repudiate him at the ballot box have driven people to the polls far faster than in 2014, when 27.2 million people voted early, according to Michael McDonald, a University of Florida professor who tracks (http://www.electproject.org/early_2018) voter turnout.

Poll that's never been wrong since 1946 signals GOP keeps House.....



Half of Americans believe that Republicans will maintain control of the House in the midterm elections Tuesday, according to Gallup's final poll (https://news.gallup.com/poll/244517/democrats-worried-republicans-election.aspx). The result of that question has lined up with the actual election outcome every time Gallup has asked it since 1946.


Fifty percent of Americans believe Republicans will stay in power in the House, while 44 percent believe Democrats will take control.


The poll concluded that Democrats are much more worried than Republicans about the outcome of the 2018 midterm elections.....snip~

Yeah, unfortunately the dems getting the house means there will be a lot of... political filibustering considering the dems agenda can only be friction and stalling at this point.

Good luck with that, how many years and conspiracy theories have you guys tried so far?

This tactic actually might/most likely will hurt the dems chances of doing anything in two years since Trump clearly will have an established record to run on and the dems will have "oh, we just ran a lot of chaos, yay"

It's a little more than just filibustering that can be done. There's now going to be a lot more oversight and everything that comes with that. Up until now, Trump has had the luxury of a one party government. That's over and he's not going to enjoy it.

Well I certainly favour the Dems policies over the Reps. The positive, to me, is that it's a check on Trump's power that didn't exist before.

We'll see how it plays out...but overall it's a loss for Trump and something that could really hurt him legislatively and political.

God I hope you are right, I hope The Democrats are dumb enough to keep running down this street to nowhere... We have had over 2 years of investigation, heck we are at 18 months of a Special counsel investigation and to this point NOTHING has been shown at all on this. PLEASE PLEASE let the House run wild with this. Unless there is a HUGE change they will just be spinning their wheels on a subject that the public is fed up with..... Great plan.
The Republicans gained in the Senate so more judges will be confirmed, I would not be surprised to see Thomas retire this year and Trump appoint a new young conservative to take his place, then there is the fact that RBG is 85 and Breyer is 80 there are 2 seats that could open in the short term as well.

If the Dems play silly and do as you think, If they do not work to Govern and make real progress rather than just be obstructionists, They will hand 2020 over on a silver platter.......

Why the 2018 Mid-Terms matter

https://www.economist.com/leaders/2018/11/03/why-the-mid-terms-matter

Politicians are making Americans miserable. The elections offer a chance to change

AS AMERICA PREPARES to go to the polls on November 6th, the country is more divided and angry than it has been in decades.


Campaigning for the mid-terms has been marred by politicians routinely treating each other as rogues, fools or traitors.

In recent days a supporter of President Donald Trump has sent bombs to 14 of his opponents and a white supremacist has murdered 11 worshippers at a synagogue, in the worst anti-Semitic act in America’s history.


Toxic federal politics is America’s great weakness.

It prevents action on pressing real issues, from immigration to welfare; it erodes Americans’ faith in their government and its institutions; and it dims the beacon of American democracy abroad.

The mid-term elections are a chance to begin stopping the rot—and even to start the arduous task of putting it right.


Mr Trump did not begin this abasement.

But he has embraced it as enthusiastically as anyone and carried it to new depths of his own devising.

All politicians stretch the truth. Mr Trump lies with abandon—over 5,000 times since he was inaugurated, according to the Washington Post.

His deceit is so brazen and effective that many of his supporters take his word above any of his critics’, especially those in the media, and seemingly in the face of all the evidence.

That suits Mr Trump because, once nobody is believed, he cannot be held to account.

But it is disastrous for America.

Once reasoned debate loses its power to win arguments, democracy cannot function.


Mr Trump is also wilfully divisive.

All politicians attack their opponents, but presidents see it as their duty to unite the country after a tragedy.

Only Mr Trump would think the Tree of Life synagogue shooting a chance to hit back at the media and the Democrats for criticising him (see article (https://www.economist.com/node/21753203)).

Only he would suggest that, rather than tone down his explosive rhetoric, he might just “tone it up”.

Such divisiveness matters because, when your opponents are simply bad people, the compromise that is the foundation of all healthy politics becomes hard within parties and almost impossible between them.
