Today is the beginning of the end for trumps and like minded republicans. If my sense of things is correct we will see a large turnout everywhere an election is held today. The biggest and most telling election comes from Virginia. The nature of that governorship and the two lower offices of state government have closed to an even status if you believe the polling. I however don't think the polling is truly reflective of how the voters will respond today. I fully expect an overwhelming turnout from voters who voted in 2016 and from voters who didn't. Why you may ask? Simply put it was the election of 2016 that woke America up!
As the unfavorables for the republicans elected in 2016 show us that they are not appreciated, a backlash is commonly experienced in the next election. Historically that is one precedent. Yet there is more. The Mueller investigation is showing a deceptive if not treasonous side to the republican "winners" that has never been experienced before in American politics. It is my perception that we will not reward the party tied to the criminal activity like republicans are by electing more of them. I know they have their base who will let them get away with murder if that were the case but for the most part the rest of us are not so zealous in our loyalty to party to allow criminals to run our government. I expect a large turnout and a heavy vote for democrats.
Every election going forward is going to be a referendum on the republican government majorities strategy of destroying the American working middle poor class. I say this with confidence this time because there is no way that democrats have been involved in these policies of taking away health care, diminishing social security in all its forms and reapportioning tax breaks toward the wealthy at the expense of the American working middle poor class. Those almost 50% of the electorate that sat our the 2016 debacle will be less inclined to do that this time since their liberties and freedoms are being attacked by republicans as well. So as I say here, when we democrats vote we win and today is the first reflection of that ideal across the US in the states that have elections.
