2022 Mid-Term Cheat Sheet

The Queen is buried and now we return the mundane crap of our upcoming mid-terms.....there seems to be very little interest in these elections....is that because everyone could care less who controls Congress and therefore our country?

About 33 days and time for you to vote.....maybe now would be a good time to start paying some damn attention....(just a thought)....

For those that are truly interested in the direction of this country I offer up the Vox cheat sheet.....

The 2022 midterm elections are fast approaching, and right now, they're anything but straightforward.

While Republicans were once favored to win a large House majority and even retake the Senate, things are looking more promising for Democrats as voters across the country have been energized by the issue of abortion rights.

With less than two months to go, there's a lot that's still uncertain, from how much Democrats can buck historic trends to just how big a role inflation will continue to play. Here are nine questions — many submitted by readers — that look at the factors in each party's favor, the policies voters are focused on, and the long-term consequences these elections could have. If you have midterms questions you'd like answered, please submit them in the form below.

What will a GOP win actually mean?

With the midterm elections less than two months away, Republicans are strongly favored to win a majority of seats in the House. Democrats, for now, are expected to keep control of the Senate, though some of the contests — particularly Wisconsin, Georgia, and Nevada — could be particularly close.

With President Joe Biden's veto power, the implications of Republicans reclaiming one or both chambers in Congress will have more to do with blunting a Democratic policy agenda than swiftly enacting conservative priorities.

But if they do win power, what do Republicans want to do with it? If you've had some trouble figuring that out, you're not alone. It's been confusing. Different factions within the party are competing for the agenda-setting mantle, and it's been a long time since Republicans wrote a unified policy and governing platform. When they tried at their 2020 national convention, they ended up scrapping their plans. Instead, they kept their 2016 platform, and avoided an anticipated fight with Donald Trump over a new one.

Even the right-leaning magazine National Review observed recently that "Republicans are doing little to explain what they would have the government do differently if they took power." There has been a mix of proposals introduced with varying degrees of specificity, and previews of the intraparty fights we might see over the next few years.

It's always easier for a party to appear united when they're in the minority, but if Republicans reclaim power, they will have the much harder task of needing to unite around a real agenda. That's when they'll have to make real decisions on issues like abortion bans, civil rights, rollbacks of environmental protections, and welfare subsidies.

There is much to be concerned over with these elections....but sadly I look for many Americans to be on the sidelines because it is just too hard for them to actually care about the country and its people.

If you do not vote then keep your mouth shut.....because you were lazy the country slides further down the crap hole.
