The initial battle may be won but the war for control has just begun for Democrats. Voter wrath that toppled Republican control in Congress will turn again in 2028 if Democrats don’t address the causes of that wrath. Combative conservative blogger Eric Erickson wrote that while high prices and the Iran war were key across-the-board issues, there was much more kindling voter wrath. He listed actions by President Donald Trump that infuriated distinct groups of voters: tariffs; treating affordability as a hoax; corruption, incompetence, and cruelty; playing nicer with Russia than with our allies; overly aggressive deportations and accidental arrests of Hispanic American citizens; and never-ending threats and lies. “Voters are tired of the weirdos in Trump Land who trade on social media memes, latent racist memes, a fixation on winning Twitter, and nonsense over seriousness,” wrote Erickson.
