Will the Democrats and Republicans Turn the USA into a crypto-Parliamentary Government?
This coming midterm elections in November of 2022 are shaping up to be a very good year for the Republicans in Washington DC. Historically the party not in the White House after a Presidential election year, do well. Often causing the House to flip controlling majorities. Additionally, the current President’s approval numbers are low, in recent times only Trump’s approval numbers were lower. The President’s approval numbers are the symptom of the core dissatisfaction of the American electorate. Rising: inflation, gas prices, rents, food prices and food shortages in our Supermarket are very visible problems Americans are facing daily. The prime-time collapse of the Kabul government and American soldiers surrounded by hostiles, dying trying to implement an emergency evacuation of a country we essentially controlled just months earlier has shaken American’s belief that a competent hand is guiding foreign policy. Whether or not these are the Democrats’ or Biden’s fault are immaterial. They control both Houses and the Whitehouse. They are the party in control and the party that declared “the adults are back in charge” when they swept into majority status during the election of 2020.
The Democrats may be facing a perfect storm.
