over the past few years to try to flip the state. It is one of the whitest states in the country as well.

Gov Tim Walz and other leading politicians in the state

Get on the ground and anticipate where and how cheaters will skew results. Poll Russian, Chinese, North Korean hackers on their targets. Read White House projection as virgin ore. Work sources from Hannity to Gaetz. There's a lot of action out there.

pressure. The coat tail effect of Biden will lead to a huge power swap at every level of government, When you got the opposition on the ropes YOU ATTACK EVEN HARDER

The last I saw, they had pulled out of a few locations due to a lack of funding.

have to be let lose

But, in the days leading up to the 2018 mid-terms, the Dems were projected to pick up 15-25 seats in the House. They picked up 40.

They were projected to lose as many as 5-7 seats in the Senate, but lost "only" two - and those two - Florida & Texas - were very close.

Plus, they flipped a ton of state level seats as well as governorships in Michigan, Wisconsin & Kansas.

This is proof to me that we're a country in decline. Racists, homophobes, bigots, misogynists, CT's, anti-vaxxers, anti-maskers, Karens... I never imagined it could get this bad.

Is Biden ahead or not?

It has for some time seemed to me that the GOP is really due as a party to go the way of the Whigs & the Federalists. Nevertheless they show amazing resilience -- as does Trump, maintaining over 40% in almost every red state and swing state. Can't understand why such a huge proportion of the population sticks to such obvious nonsense, and the total failure even to try to live up to their own standards

It is noteworthy that with the explosion of the Covid crisis that in TX and AZ, both GOP governed states where the crisis has gone from marginal to overwhelming, there has been such a shakeup of opinion. Maybe the Covid crisis will be at least one of the developments that leads to the end of the GOP as a national party (hopefully)

If & when that happens, the remains of the GOP won't go away, they wd probably mostly glom onto the Biden wing of the Democratic Party, while the relatively progressive wing (including me) wd hopefully get our act together enough to gain the upper hand within the party in lots of blue states. Clearly the collapse of the GOP (possibly with a much smaller protofascist party emerging to pick up the disgruntled ultra-right, but unable to compete almost anywhere) cd in this scenario lead to a splitup of the Democrats

The country is obviously still in a state of mental decline.
