It was more like a red undertow. The bullshit finally truly got to people.

Theres a genuine chance the fash are going to close out the midterms without having flipped a single senate, house or governor's seat. I'm fucking stunned.

There's a genuine chance, seeing as Trump said he'd recognize the elections "if they're fair." However; there are more points to be made here I think. They want to stay in power and attempting to deny such a massive result may (in my opinion) trigger at least a small revolt. They're objectively evil, and we like to paint them as having a horribly low IQ but the people actually pulling strings aren't that way - they're just evil. Inciting a revolt tips the odds of them being in power again to be much smaller. Remember - they're patient and many and may simply wait another decade with a revised plan instead of diminishing the odds of them being in power again. This is all my half-drunk ramblings though, so I could be wrong on more than one account.
