Why 2026 is going to be a good year for conservatives

Hear me out.  I know the midterm elections tend to trend against the party in the White House, but I think there's reason for hope in 2026.

Republicans are considered the party that is friendly to business while Democrats are largely regarded as the party in favor of larger government.  In 2008 the Great Recession triggered by the housing crisis put Republicans on the defense as the fraud and rapacity of the subprime lending market was exposed.  This opened the door for Obama's rise and (briefly) a filibuster-proof majority in Congress.  Business had failed and the Republicans needed to suffer and they did.

The Biden Administration leaned hard into Big Government with profligate spending that triggered record-high inflation.  But the more immediate backlash against Big Government is the evidence of Medicaid (and other) fraud in Minnesota which is surely the tip of the iceberg

Americans are generous but one thing they will not abide: being turned into suckers.  Watch the video of the girl below; she gets it.  Once the trust in the government is gone, the party that champions the government is going to suffer the consequences.  Also: calling opponents of fraud "racist" or "Islamophobes" or supporting "white supremacy" is not going to work.  We're done with that.
