My blackpilled guess at the moment:
The worst case scenario is that they will make it so Republicans barely get an anemic 218-217 majority so they can blame Kevin McCarthy and the barely Republican House for the full economic collapse coming next year.
The Dems will still get to pass all the spending bills they want because there are so many "moderate" House Rs from NY this year.
With an one seat majority, the Freedom Caucus and the moderates will be at each other's throats every day.
You're far more optimistic than I am. I really think they're going to enthrone Pelosi again.
That's actually not that bad of an outcome if by some miracle we do win the House. The fact is with stolen Senate even a healthy House majority isn't very useful. Actually passing shit will be a problem, but with the Senate and White House in enemy hands it's better if nothing passes. In fact I'm at the point where I hope the Freedom Caucus torches the whole thing. This is going to become violent and we might as well get it over with.
I suspect this will be the case too: dems will be looking to teach a lesson about who the power belongs to, and the best way to do that is to flaunt it in an arbitrary and capricious manner to hammer home that it is only about power
You will probably get your wish.
