Usually a midterm election is a disaster for the Party holding the Presidency; we have nothing but nail-biting ambiguity now. By contrast to the situations of 2006. 2010. 2014, and 2018 this one is unusually good for the President's party.  

The needful change is that Trumpist, Q-Anon, and militia insanity implode.  This madness rends our democratic tradition, without which any evil is possible. Destroy democracy and we could even see the imposition of fascist-style slavery which makes the antebellum slavery look gentle by contrast.

Do you think independent voters will get the message while billionaires fund fascist candidates in ads shouting "you want to defund the police" and "your spending causes inflation"?

Liberals need to make clear that they want the police to be even more effective in suppressing violent crime without being a menace to minorities.  In my case I would fare better in Japan (a Hell for criminals) than some "outlaw's paradise". On the autistic spectrum I am far more likely to be prey than predator in the dichotomy between criminal and victim. 

It is essential that Congressional nominees debunk the idea that they can defund the police.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
