Can a person overdose on copium? There are many signs the Left sees the writing on the wall for Democrats in the upcoming midterms.
While it’s fun watching the emerging coping mechanisms, if we want to enjoy the ultra-hilarity, we need to get out and vote in November. Oh, the laughs we’ll have! We here at Twitchy will be right here to share the best with you.
Anyway, check out this one from John Sides. The copium is strong with this one.
In advance of election night, I think it's useful to calibrate expectations to the fundamentals, not to polls or vibes.
So, a good calibration:
House: Dems lose ~40-45 seats
Senate: Dems lose 1-3 seatsAnything significantly less = Dem over-performance. Here's why.

Yep, they’re going to declare Democrat victory if the Democrats lose the House. LOL.
Twitter was just as amused as we were.

Just let them have this, man. Ha!
Good sign if liberals are lowering expectations like this.

The real fun doesn’t start until you get into the hidden replies.
“When we lose we still win” !!! Brilliant

It’s a bold strategy, Cotton.
Such is the state of political analysis on the Left.
Republicans lose one special election: OMG, GOP IS DOOMED!!!
Democrats lose 40 House seats and 3 Senate seats: That’s not bad, ackshully… https://t.co/dgn2yvzIrh

Perfection.
We’re at the “Democrats losing fewer than 40 House seats is really a victory for them” stage of copium https://t.co/BGg6M2Xd8M

We love to see it!
“If republicans don’t have a historic night, Dems overperformed!”
Well, no more #RoeYourVote I guess. https://t.co/Gxdk9XzmsD

Dems might be finding out that ‘you can’t kill your hypothetical future baby’ just doesn’t animate voters as much as record inflation.

It’s the copium.
This is hugely impressive as an attempt to manufacture a 'win' scenario for Democrats given the current vibes. His bar for "Dems overperforming" is beyond what even the most optimistic polls are predicting Rs might do.
All the rest is just the dull anesthetic of copium. https://t.co/BGurLWhb2G

That’s the real takeaway here: ‘If Dems do better than the worst case prediction that nobody is expecting to happen, they won!’
Bruh… if you try and set expectations any lower… you’re going to break into the Earth’s mantle. https://t.co/n4KdSZLpuf

… Break through right into the ultra-magma.
We would apologize for that joke, but we’re not sorry.

When the goalposts are moving this much, we’re happy. Vote.
