Checking the Guardian for live commentary (there is none) I saw this:
Tipping point, "defining moment," all them things whatever you call it, elections in the States are Tuesday, over 300 GOP election-deniers are on the ballot, GOP lawyers are at polling stations, some armed, in a pro-active move to clear the field for Trump, who will formally announce later this month, in 2024, Americans care more about inflation than a deflating democracy, the tide is receding; we stand on the exposed shore insouciant of the tsunami that is about to wipe us out.
It will not matter. These are mid-term elections; these are for the national legislature. The election of a president is an entirely different kettle of fish. We have to suffer Republican control of Congress to get Trump to run again. Making the not-insouciant assumption that Biden-Trump 2024 will be more or less fair, that match-up is a blue dream.
That looks like a November day in the Second City.
