I sometimes watch Live PD on Friday nights (yeah, I'm that old), and cops in places like Michigan often run into them. One guy gets pulled over, no license plate, no driver's license, no insurance, and starts with the "The Constitution doesn't require.." shtick. The cop holds up his hand and says "Look. we're not going all sovereign here, I don't have the time for it" and writes the tickets. They're lunatic fringe, but they got guns.

Democrats cheating in the midterms - https://www.naplesnews.com/story/news/p ... 009178002/
A day after Florida's election left top state races too close to call, a Democratic party leader directed staffers and volunteers to share altered election forms with voters to fix signature problems on absentee ballots after the state's deadline.
The altered forms surfaced in Broward, Santa Rosa, Citrus and Okaloosa counties and were reported to federal prosecutors to review for possible election fraud as Florida counties completed a required recount in three top races.

But an email obtained by the USA TODAY NETWORK - Florida shows that Florida Democrats were organizing a broader statewide effort beyond those counties to give voters the altered forms to fix improper absentee ballots after the Nov. 5 deadline. Democratic party leaders provided staffers with copies of a form, known as a "cure affidavit," that had been modified to include an inaccurate Nov. 8 deadline.
Democrats .....

Trump badly at under 50%
https://www.politico.com/story/2018/11/ ... id-1012184

it's looking like Carter presidency. Except we had a nice guy and now we have an asshole. All else, except Daddy Bush, survived. Two terms. They were all more to the middle. Clinton was almost a Republican, not sure why they gave him all that trouble, as he was the best Democrat the Republicans could have at the time. Dick problems, Whitewater. Ken Starr.

Almost 6 in 10 Americans (59 percent) say they’re ready for someone else to replace Trump as president. Only 36 percent say he should return for another four-year term.

With your gerrymandering, 36% might well be enough...

Will history repeat itself? Senate went Republican first time since 1952 after Carter. Could happen in reverse in 2020.
Carter later wrote that the most intense and mounting opposition to his policies came from the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, which he attributed to Ted Kennedy's ambition to replace him as president.[222] After Kennedy announced his candidacy in November 1979,[223] questions regarding the latter's activities during his presidential bid were a frequency of Carter's press conferences held during the Democratic presidential primary.[224][225] Kennedy surprised his supporters by running a weak campaign, and Carter won most of the primaries and secured renomination. However, Kennedy had mobilized the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, which gave Carter weak support in the fall election.[226] Carter and Vice President Mondale were formally nominated at the Democratic National Convention in New York City,[227] delivering a speech notable for its tribute to the late Hubert Humphrey, who he initially called "Hubert Horatio Hornblower."
Wiki

The big difference is that all those Senators in red states are stuck with Trump support in 2020, otherwise they will lose their own party nomination.
