A strong majority of Americans favor meaningful gun control laws and a ban on assault rifles.

The Earth is heating up and people are dying. A strong majority of Americans favor enacting climate change initiatives.

Republicans are better than Democrats at managing the economy. Really? U.S. economic history belies that myth promulgated by Republicans.
10 of the last 11 recessions started under Republican presidents. Every Republican president since Benjamin Harrison, who served from 1889 to 1893, had a recession in their first term in office. Below is the start date of recessions; the following list includes the president in office at that time and their party:
1.) February 2008 (Bush 43 / R) House - D / Senate - D
2.) December 2007 (Bush 43 / R) House - D / Senate - D
3.) March 2001 (Bush 43 / R) House - R / Senate - R
4.) July 1990 (Bush 41 / R) House - D / Senate - D
5.) July 1981 (Reagan / R) House - D / Senate - D
6.) January 1980 (Carter / D) House - D / Senate - D
7.) November 1973 (Nixon / R) House - D / Senate - D
8.) December 1969 (Nixon / R) House - D / Senate - D
9.) April 1960 (Eisenhower / R) House - D / Senate - D
10.) August 1957 (Eisenhower / R) House - D / Senate - D
11.) July 1953 (Eisenhower / R) House - R / Senate - R
12.) November 1948 (Truman / D) House - R / Senate - R
The economy was in recession for 49 quarters from 1949-2013; 8 of these quarters were under Democrats, with 41 under Republicans.
Our latest recession took place under the Republican administration of Donald Trump in 2020. Recovery took place under the Democratic Biden administration. We currently have full employment and healthy spending by consumers.
Within the next few months, while under investigation by the DOJ for sedition, Donald Trump is expected to announce his candidacy for President in the next few months.
Question: Why in the world are Republicans expected to win control of Congress in November? Sheer ignorance? Americans vote against their interests? Party first, their own interests second?
