Two-thirds of Americans say that the country is “pretty seriously off on the wrong track,” while just under a third say the country is moving in the right direction, according to an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll conducted using Ipsos’ KnowledgePanel.

Overall, Americans seem unhappy and anxious, with a slim majority saying the economy has gotten worse since President Donald Trump took office and majorities saying that both major parties and the president are out of touch. A majority of Americans are also growing increasingly concerned over the government shutdown.

    If you respect the Constitution, then you have to let it play out. A year from now are the Midterm Elections, with Congress on the line. How they behave around that will determine what happens beyond that.

    Will they openly suppress the vote as much as possible? Absolutely, but how far will that go? Do they refuse to sweat in the winning Dems, and illegally keep their majority?

    What if they invent an excuse to suspend elections? That’s a bright red line. No election had ever been suspended in American History, not even during the Civil War. For many, that would signal the end of Democracy, and the official beginning of a Civil War, although it would look very weird in the beginning. The first steps would be Blue states refusing to cooperate with the illegitimate MAGA Congress.
