Probably rigged like 2020.
I know for a fact that in Michigan, the "blue wave" was only in the red counties.
Not the blue counties.
Also, little Paul "Eddie Munster" Ryan was busily making sure that enough of his Pubbies bailed to flip the House to The Louse.
Which is interesting in itself - considering his relationship to the subject of this article...
It was rigged but not like 2020. It was rigged by the uniparty. The GOP made sure they gave up the majority in the house, people in very safe seats all bailed surprisingly and others just basically threw their races by mailing it in. But why?
Simple. Look at Obamacare as the best example. They ran for YEARS saying give us power and we'll remove and replace it. They got power, both chambers and the white house. Then they refused to do it, told us all it had just been lies and took the beating. They never ever ever wanted to take the beating again. But they had to block Trump at everything. No wall (that they said they supported but didn't mean), no infrastructure (that the said they supported and actually did mean but not if Trump wanted it, they waited for Biden to vote for it). Etc. They wanted the dems in to do the blocking so they could go back to pretending to want things they really didn't without having to actually risk having to admit they were lying like with Obamacare.
Hell, they even now are literally running on no agenda at all, tell me one thing they GOP has promised to do if they got the majority in either chamber. Not one candidate, the party, what's the platform? There is none. Because they can't say what they really want to do, but they don't want to have lies be on the record anymore because accountability embarasses them.
