So Americans will after 4 years vote out the government?
If the world hasn't been burnt to a crisp by nuclear war first.
There is an election in November of this year. It is what we call a "mid-term" since it is halfway between presidential election cycles. Every member of the House of Representatives serves two year terms so 100% of the House members are up for reelection in November. The Democrats have only a very small majority 222-212 in the House, 1 vacant for a total of 435. And the Senate is 50-50. The Vice President is the tie-breaker in the Senate. The House numbers are based on state populations but has a cap of 435 so if one state gains a seat, another state loses a seat. The Senate is fixed at 2 per state. Senators serve 6 year terms so approximately 1/3 are up for election every two years. It is the 2 Senate seats that make the Democrats push to make Washington DC a state because DC (our seat of government) is over the top Democratic (these are the deep state people because they are the invisible government workers) and having two more Democrats in the Senate will give them a bigger cushion. Our Constitution SPECIFICALLY states the the District of Columbia NOT be a state but the Democrats don't believe in the Constitution. They think it is merely guidance to be discarded if it is inconvenient to them.
So, as you can see, the Democrats have no where near the "mandate" they think they have. America overall is marginally center-right. Both Democrats and Republicans are generally moderate. Each group leans slightly left or slightly right depending on the topic. Generally, the population is center-left on social issues and center-right on financial issues. It is only the large cities that are hard-left on everything. They would force us all to dye our hair purple or green if they could.
Because of the current displeasure with the Biden administration, there is a good chance that enough votes will swing such that the Democrats lose control of both houses. Currently, they control both houses plus the Presidency. But their margin is so slim that they are not actually able to push through all of their radical agenda because there are still some rational Democrats left in the world. But they've pushed through enough to cause serious inflation mostly in the fuel area but that ripples to everything because everything has to get where it needs to go and that cost has risen by 40% in less than a year and meat is up 10-20%. Aluminum foil is as precious as gold. We are in an inflationary spiral that will be very hard to stop. Once prices start rising, they won't go down again unless we go into a depression. With a Democrat President and Republican House and Senate, we will have stagnation which isn't all that bad but it won't let the Republicans fix any of the things Biden broke unless the Republicans manage to get a 60% majority so they can overturn a Presidential veto. So Congress passes bills and Biden vetoes them. 60% of Congress needs to vote to overturn the veto and get the bill passed.
