Yes, I believe it will indeed go much lower. It could be as low as 33 %...Total loss!!!

I also believe this will filter through to the Senate, and we will regain control of the Senate. I really do dislike Mitch McConnell. (that is putting it mildly), and I hope he loses too.

Megalomaniac statements about himself was abnormal. His choice to connect with people via prejudice indicated a lack of ethics. That this is fine with 40% of Americans is flat troubling.

can still be that uninformed, misinformed or brainwashed.

That suggests that 40% are either a.) isolated and not keeping themselves informed with current events or b.) they watch Fox News, or c.) only listen to RW talk radio.

That surely must be one of our most difficult challenges. Just winning elections does nothing toward reversing decades of isolating millions of people in a right-wing bubble and the global plutocrats like Murdoch have the money to make it even worse.

I was seeing how 20 something percent would refuse the vaccine?

I love my country and the people in it, but sometimes that second part is a struggle.
