7. Here's the way I see it

Not everyone who voted for Jaba the Putz is in the cult. Many of them are:
-slightly swayed by race/gender bias
-completely disengaged and not informed
-convinced by the backward non-wisdom that republicans are better at handling the economy

They're part of the gettable bloc for either side.

Our drama-loving media loves to falsely claim that there are no more independent voters, but every election eve they do reports on undecided voters which is only ONE indicator that there are still independent (gettable) voters. Those so-called independents favored Jaba in 2024 and now they are quickly regretting it.

I don't put a lot of faith in their opinions, but they will be the key to taking back the House in '26. The cult, not so much at all.
