I'm not going to lie, I'm feeling a sense of near-overwhelming despair for what politics in this country has become. While there is a chance Democrats could beat their polls by the point or so that would be necessary and hold on to a majority in the Senate tomorrow - and indeed there is evidence of Democratic overperformance happening in the special elections over the summer due to voter anger at the Supreme Court - the odds of that happening tomorrow simply feel remote to me. The public is on the verge of electing a cavalcade of conspiracy theorists and authoritarians into power in the Congress - and also state legislatures and governorships across America - and I really don't know how long this country and our democracy will be able to survive what increasingly feels like a widely ascendant fascist political movement.
