If the GOP Takes Over the House.
Let’s talk about the consequences.
Well, we’re a couple weeks out from the midterm elections, and unsurprisingly the chances of the Democratic Party holding onto the House of Representatives aren’t looking too good. While it’s not likely to be that “red tsunami” the right wing has been promising for months, it certainly appears as though the GOP is going to have a slim majority in the House unless something changes drastically. As the election approaches, I’ve begun to process the longstanding consequences if the GOP wins the majority.
Make no mistake, we’ll be feeling the effects for far more than two years until the 2024 election.
Right now, the economy is one of if not the top issue for voters and of course, the Democratic Party has been absolutely useless in countering the narrative that the GOP is better at handling economic issues. It’s the mantra that has been drilled into the minds of older voters for decades, and if nothing else we can count on Democrats refusing to fight back. But the thing is, we also have to remember that if the GOP takes the house, they have absolutely no incentive to even try to help make the economy better.
In fact, they have every incentive to make it worse.
