In terms of right-wing authoritarianism and democratic backsliding, the political scientists (and resistance libs) were absolutely right about Jan. 6 and Trump 2.0. So people should pay attention to their warnings about Nov. 2026/28

So it’s just being realistic to say that MAGA will try, somehow, to prevent voters from having their say. Will ICE try to prevent blue districts from voting? If that fails, will they reject the results, in a midterm version of Jan. 6? Call me alarmist, but remember: The alarmists have been right, and the people telling us to calm down have been wrong, every step of the way.
