that 1.9% of ‘other’ voters might as well have stayed home and masturbated

The "other" voters are literally the reason Trump doesn't have a majority. If they stayed home, Trump would have more than 50% of the vote. It's actually really useful to be able to rub the fact that the government is undemocratic in people's faces because it agitates and motivates them towards other forms of politics, like the general strike we saw in Minnesota.

But things are quiet now because people still believe in elections and think they can just vote this problem away in the midterms.

Do you think Trump actually gives a fuck?

I think he doesn't want Democrats to win the midterms, because they'll be annoying. Anyone who expects Democrats to swoop in and fix all of the shit that Trump has broken is delusional, of course. They won't try to impeach him or probably even prosecute him for his crimes, because they're worthless worms. All they'll do is whine and be on TV all the time.

But Trump cares a lot about what's on TV, as much as he cares about being able to scam the country and do crimes.

Is he going to try and rig the midterms? Maybe, but I think that would be another strategic mistake on par with starting a war with Iran. As I said, things are quiet now because people think the midterms will fix everything. If Trump (the guy who has never won a majority and is broadly hated) takes that away the country would become ungovernable. I think he could have gotten away with it if he hadn't started this war with Iran, but if there's one thing yankees will never forgive it's high fuel prices. He's toast.

He's also old and hates exercise. He could literally die any moment, and then one of the other unpopular and uncharismatic losers would inherit his unwinnable war and unpopular policies and poor economy. You think Just Dance Vance can inherit MAGA?
