But they are giving every indication they have no intention of ever giving up control. Might not be Mango Mussolini, my guess it will be some billionaire or some lackey controlled by the billionaires like he has been.

As far as midterms, to be honest, they are irrelevant. Even if Democrats take control, why would they care? They can ignore Congress if they want because, for the most part, they have been.
I think the only difference if Democrats win, they will cut Congress out of the budget process and just start spending what they want and how they want. There isn't a whole lot people can do to stop them. They control the police, the military and the supreme court.
