Summary
Republicans face rising fears of a 2026 midterms backlash after defeats in key races, with some blaming Trump’s tariffs and Elon Musk’s influence.
Trump announced sweeping new trade levies Wednesday, alarming GOP strategists who warn of higher prices and economic risks.
Vulnerable Republicans urge a return to economic messaging, citing concerns the party is overreaching. Democrats are leveraging Musk’s unpopularity, linking him to GOP policies.
The GOP remains divided over how to respond.
If they actually cared they do have the power to stop Trump.
Don’t worry though, if people are even allowed to vote in 2016 Republican voters wil have long forgotten by then what it was like to have rights and be able to afford groceries, and will be happy to vote to let the leopards eat the faces of the next outgroup in line.
