Gerrymandering is a disgrace and a real threat. Hopefully effects can be limited by the laws against gerrymandering that have been enacted in most states in the past 20 years.

Lost seats... still hold the majority.
Have a reasonable chance of flipping the Senate with two new Senators coming from a Georgia runoff.

Well yeah...when/if a case makes it to the Court. When/if the Court decides to hear the case.
Sure.. Trump has been able to load the Supreme Court specifically, and lower courts in general, with biased and inexperienced judges.
This is potentially hazardous.
That said, judges have a tendency to moderate themselves over time. So I’m still hopeful.
Endorsement by police unions is NOT the equivalent to having “total command and loyalty” of all security forces.
The top military generals have all denounced the idea that Trump could sway them into any action to support his illegal theft of the Presidency.
Also... didn’t you just criticize some Liberal for wishing violence as a solution to our political differences?

wiped out in the polls in 23 months after failing to accomplish even one item of the milquetoast moderate agenda of your 80 year old leader -- a leader soon to be squeezed through the ringer of two years of Senate subcommittee inquiries, special counsel investigations, and online rumor campaigns until his health, reputation and legacy is left in shambles.
Did you read the article you linked?
It says “Republicans are well positioned to take control” in 2023. That means they have a chance to gain a small majority. That’s a chance, not a certitude... and it’s a small majority, not a ‘wipe out’. You don’t seem to have good comprehension.
Also, a lot can change in 2 years.
Also, that’s just the opinion of one website.

Wishful thinking.

From day one of his administration, Biden will be a president under siege, beset upon from all sides. When he reaches out his frail, old hands in a call for unity, we will chop them off at the wrists.
Many moderate Republicans will breath a sigh of relief when the professionalism of Biden becomes evident and we remember Presidential Image that Trump just could never match. They’ll be looking to distance themselves from Trump and happy to work with someone normal.

You’re conflating Trumpism with Republicanism. Once Trump is out of power and off the stage his popularity will fade. Then the fake gloss on the Republican party will be washed away and the crumbling edifice will be visible, and you’ll see there’s no foundation. I expect the Republican Party to implode in 10 years unless it can somehow redefine itself.
