    Inflation will shoot up like never before and Republicans will again get assaulted at the polls.

    You are assuming Republican voters are rational. They have a long history of voting against their own interests, because their leaders convince the voters that the real problem is the liberals/feminists/gays/immigrants/etc…

    Inflation will shoot up and it will be Someone Else’s Fault.

      Actually I’m hoping that the independent voters are rational and can be reasoned with. There are not enough Republican voters to doom us on their own. I do have to acknowledge that history suggests I’m being unreasonably optimistic.
