Too often, we succumb to narratives that are based on all the wrong parameters. Democrats are poised for a 2022 blowout win.
Jonathan Alter take on Democrats is correct, IMHO

I have been waiting for a bold pundit to go on national cable TV and say what Jonathan Alter said on Lawrence O’Donnell’s panel. We need more Progressives to get on TV and repeat ad nauseam. Too often, we create self-fulfilling prophecies because of unjustified fear, poor analysis, and false equivalences.
The narrative that most in the political punditry and journalism have been that Democrats will lose the House and maybe the Senate. Steve Kornacki did not make it any better with his charts, almost willing a Democratic loss based on raw history and little intellectual reasoning. Note to Steve: It is not about defying history but leaning into reality.
Here is the deal. The Republican base is shrinking. Indeed, 74% of Republicans are still Trump sycophants. It is also true that a Republican likely cannot win a Republican primary by defying Trump. But let’s remember basic math. Republicans only make up 25% of the voting population. This means that Trump’s real support is just (.74 X 25%). In other words %18.5% of the population. While Republicans need Trump adoration to get through their primaries, Republicans need voter suppression, fraud, and a defective constitutional process to win.
So let’s do our job and prepare the path for a blowout. We must work for it. But remember that there is no historical context of a party led by a twice impeached lying unpatriotic incompetent insurrectionist instigator orchestrating a win.
