What has been the worst period of time since 2016 will then, on election day November 3rd. 2020, become a triumph of will and determination. A collective sigh of relief will emanate from most all our lungs while the rest of the air will be filled with jubilation and utter euphoria. I know this because the time of trumps and their thieving partners the republicans are continuing to dig their own graves through their inaction on legislation while destroying our society in every other way. There is no middle ground for republicans to claim since they have destroyed every bridge back to compromising with we democrats.
That type of arrogance and intentional obstruction of our working middle poor class offers us little to no incentive to keep them around any longer. Yet the base of republicans is noisy enough to keep republicans thinking that they still have a chance to destroy our country and have us praise them for it. Practically since trump was appointed president he has had negative approval ratings unlike anything seen in the modern era, https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/trump-approval-ratings/. While the election of 2016 showed us that 46.9% of eligible voters did not vote, https://www.cosmopolitan.com/politics/a8265143/almost-half-eligible-voters-did-not-vote-election-2016/, which most assuredly was enough of a failure to vote to end up with the appointment to the presidency for trumps.
Yet the 2018 election started to solve that low voter turnout from the 2016 presidential election where 46.9% of the voters didn't bother to vote. In 2018, a midterm year where voting turnout was historically low, that changed. 2018 saw a record turnout for a midterm with 49% of eligible voters voting. More than a 100 million for the first time voted in a midterm election, https://www.cbsnews.com/news/record-voter-turnout-in-2018-midterm-elections/. Because we know this enthusiasm from the 2018 midterm is still on an upswing we can extrapolate out that this next presidential election will have the greatest participation rate from voters yet seen in American politics. None of this bodes well for republicans and does benefit democrats everywhere. The end of trumps is coming and so is the end of any majority republicans currently have.
