I suspect we're at the metaphorical point where their plane is nosediving and they're just realizing it won't pull up and all of the buttons and levers are useless.

If that were the case, with all the constant narrative changes lately and now this, it may very well be the death throes of their movement. All they have left is lashing out in vulgar ways, but we'll see how well that works pretty soon.

Given how much keeps happening this year and how quickly it seems to be accelerating, I also suspect midterms will truly be historical this year, one way or another. Definitely before the end of the year, that I'm sure of.
