We will run the models with the final numbers. But this is showing what we expected. Of course, the Democrats are cheering and assume they will already win the White House in 2028. We do not see that, but there is going to be a sharp rise in 3rd party in 2028. We had forecast that for 2016 and that ended up as a victory for the non-politicians Trump against Hillary. There too, Hillary dwarfed Trump in money but she could not buy the election. Here too, the Republicans dwarfed the Democrats in terms of money, but that did not win the day.
As I said, the Democrats are their own worst enemy. They cannot fathom that while they are cheering a victory, it is not as historic as some are claiming. Eisenhower lost 13 Senate seats in 1958. Truman lost 12, Clinton lost 10, and Obama lost 9. Here in 2026, the Republicans lost 2 seats so far to the Democrats.
The Democrats are the party that loves war. They took us into WWI, WWII and nuked Japan, Korea, and Vietnam. They are very pro-Ukraine and hate Putin all because of Hillary. So, unfortunately, we are on the side of Hitler in this war. Zelensky started bombing the refineries in Russia and basically gave the finger to Trump. The Democrats cheer that and are so braindead they have no idea that is going to create food shortages, supply chain disruption, and send prices higher. They just won because Trump listened to Netanyahu and Kushner and took us into Iran. This is what brought down the Republicans because Americans are tired of endless wars.
While Kushner may have to flee to Israel by the time the Democrats get a hold of his ass and he can count his billions on the beach in Gaza, but he may never be able to leave. The Democrats will drag us into war with Russia. About 62% of Democrats see Russia as an enemy of the U.S., according to a 2025 Pew Research survey all thanks to Hillary.
The Constitution grants the power to declare war to Congress as a whole. For Congress to declare war, a resolution must pass both the House of Representatives and the Senate by a majority vote (and be signed by the President, or passed over a veto). To override Trump’s veto of a “declaration of war,” both the House and Senate would need a two-thirds majority vote, which is a very high threshold. Two-thirds of the Senate is 67 out of 100 senators, while two-thirds of the House is 290 out of 435 representatives. I think that is a long-shot, but the Neocons and the military establishment will certainly be stuffing as much money in pockets that they can.
We are plugging in the numbers and will report on the private blog Socrates’ outlook into 2028 from here. Keep in mind, this is part of the cycle that is necessary to reach the opportunity when we finally get to redesign what government should really be – We the People.
