We don't get it? If the Democrats keep doing what they're doing president Trump will be a one-term lame duck president. He is at least wasting his supermajority like President Obama did during his first term. When you fags get in NK'd in the midterms don't bitch about not being able to do anything then either.
trumps approval ratings have climbed substantially in recent weeks.
trump and the republicans dont have a supermajority, they are still bottlenecked by the senate filibuster which requires 60 votes to be broken. by contrast, obama during his first two years did indeed have a supermajority.
the GOP is creeping back on the generic ballot in recent weeks. the generic ballot is now standing at around +7% for the democrats - due to gerrymandering and the inherent geographical disadvantage of the democratic coalition, experts estimate that they need to win by around 7% to break even in the house. thus, at this moment, the house race is completely open.
in the end, I personally believe that it wont be enough to be anti-trump for the democrats to take back the house or oust trump in 2020. they need to develop their own agenda, and it needs to be capable of winning a majority. the 2016 race proved that playing the feminism and minority card like crazy while offering nothing to average working-class citizens is not enough.

Unwashed masses yearning to be free for sure.
very different times.
during the 19th century, there were no social security, no food stamps and no entitlements whatsoever. and there was a big demand for unskilled labor.
therefore, even unwashed masses could be useful back then. nowadays, it's a completely different story.
