The Democrats Are the Republicans’ Secret Weapon
Kurt Schlichter
Look, we keep being told—by pundits, pollsters, and a panoply of prognosticators—that the Republicans are absolutely doomed in November, that Trump is the lamest of ducks, that it’s all over, and that instead of voting, we should just stay at home in our double-wides being transphobes and hating The Odyssey because it has black people. And if you look at history—and we do look at history, because we know history didn’t begin in 1619—Republicans do have a problem. It’s a midterm election with a second-term president, or a third-term president, depending on whether you believe Joe Biden got 80 zillion votes in 2020, and the party in power typically gets its butt handed to it. The polls are all over the place, assessing the Republicans’ chances from “meh” to Nagasaki. The Senate GOP is busy putting the “nothing” in “do-nothing,” but there’s one shining glimmer of hope out there that the GOP may be able to pull victory from the jaws of defeat.
And that’s the Democrats themselves.
They so transcendently suck that they’re making the Republicans, who also transcendently suck, look good. Well, not good – less apocalyptically awful. And that might just be enough to stave off not only a Democrat Senate but a Democrat House.
Oh, that’s not a good thing. That’s pretty much relying on dumb luck. That’s hoping you find that bit of floating flotsam that Kate Winslet crawled on top of while Leonardo DiCaprio turned into a popsicle at the end of Titanic. But as the good Lord takes care of kids and drunks, He—take that, blasphemous imp James Talarico—also looks out for the GOP.
