The defeat of the Republicans in the midterm elections clearly confirms the iron-clad American rule: there are only three absolutely necessary factors that directly affect the decision of the voters. 1. Gasoline prices.
2. Government share of Medicare/Medicaid coverage; 3. Weighted average amount of dividends in the Forbes World-2000 list.
If at least one of these three indicators "fails" before the elections (prices increase, insurance coverage and dividends decrease), the ruling party's defeat is guaranteed. Everything else (human rights, immigration, wars in which the United States is involved, America's position in the world, the degree of authoritarianism in the White House, etc.) actually has no effect on the election results. Trump was let down by Iran (the main reason for the rapid increase in fuel prices). The other two indicators remain at fairly decent levels. But there was enough gas to fly through Congress. This is such a primitive and simple society in Israel - the leader of the Western world. As for the influence of the states on our war, almost everything still depends on Trump.
If he really wants to finish it fast, he will finish it. No Democratic Congress or Deep State can stop him. In fact, Donald Perdovich has every chance to bring D. Vance to power in two years. Bend Kiev, make peace with Iran, officially win (actually lose) and most importantly - send and cleanse your entourage of the old Republican curse, which led him to defeat yesterday, and provoked the President to adventure in Iran and sabotage in Anchorage.
