This is conventional wisdom, but I take a contrarian position:
"Americans can always be counted on to do the right thing…after they have exhausted all other possibilities"
-- Winston Churchill (allegedly)
I've been following politics since the 1968 of Robert Kennedy (broke my young heart) and my sense is that Americans are fed up with Republican antics and extreme positions. I think it's worth looking at the Goldwater campaign in '64. He was riding a wave of cold war anti-communism hysteria, but got crushed by Lyndon Johnson.
I think similarly Republicans will get crushed in '22 and '24 because Americans have sobered up and realized we have serious problems to confront. Republicans are offering no solutions, only antics. The flim/flam trolling party is over.
That's my feeling and I'm looking for ways to make bets on prediction markets:
