Haven’t seen enough talk about this, but how much of the Republican under-performance in the midterms is down to Republicans being more likely to die during the pandemic? And Covid is still killing people, and about 43% more of those currently dying are republicans rather then democrats. Given that old people are dying, and old people are more likely to vote, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see the political system stabilize around a Democratic majority for a while.
