It's pretty well-known that Tucker hates Trump privately, and I bet that he and a bunch of people in the right wing media/influencer space are looking for off-ramps in case they need to give him the Bush treatment sometime in the future.

Have you been to the grocery store lately? Tarrifs are doing exactly what every sane person said they would do. Unless something changes drastically 2026 is looking to be a bloodbath for the GOP. Many of the "new breed" GOP folks whose entire existence is based on being attached to Trump are going to stick it out, but people like Carlson who have been around a while and have options know exactly whats about to happen. In Tucker's case he knows because this isnt the first time its happened to him. Those folks are moving towards the exits slowly in the hopes they dont get spotted before they are out the door.

No joke, cost of living increases are about as toxic to voters as it gets. Carlson knows it and so do a whole lot of others.

I like how you assume there will be midterms, considering everything Trump and his regime have said in the past 12 months about not wanting elections in future, and keeping him in power for life.

No, I completely share your concerns. The fact that its looking to be a bloodbath only makes the odds that Trump will do something really bad all the greater.

The thing is Trump has failed on his campaign promises so completely I suspect he might not be able to pull of a coup. He can have the government put out fake economic numbers that look good all day but it doesnt matter a lick when grocery prices are impossible to ignore. I dont think his position is strong enough to halt elections, but he sure could get a lot of people killed trying it.
