"This whole time I thought that vaccines were the idol they were worshipping. That ain’t it. They are worshipping THEMSELVES. It ain’t Moloch, it’s Narcissus. In the absence of God, the bourgeoisie made THEMSELVES God. And knowing, a priori, that ‘the system made the vaccines and therefore they are good’ is the signifier that ‘I am good and I am God because I am a part of the system.’
"Modernity, class, and empire fused to create the most self-obsessed humans in history. The idolatry we are fighting is Narcissism.
"They don’t worship the vaccine. No, no, that’s outside themselves. They think THEY are God.
"They don’t need to read studies! They don’t care about data! Clinical trials? Pshaw! Gods don’t have to concern themselves with those mundane details because they are the science! They create reality.
"The fact that they can kill millions of people and get away with it proves that they are God. Only God has that power — the power to decide who lives and who dies and not suffer any consequences for their actions. To them, the carnage is proof of their divinity."

Mishandling national defense information. Very serious.
There are three ways the outlook could play out.
1. The polls and analysts are largely accurate.
a. House: 233 D - 202 R; Senate: 52 D - 48 R
b. Recent polling errors have been greater in the presidential elections while midterms - on the whole - have been more accurate (Silver Bulletin). If largely accurate, Democrats would win a majority of similar size to the 2018 and 2006 midterms and gain a narrow Senate majority.
2. The polls and analysts underestimate Republicans by a normal polling error.
a. House: 221 D - 214 R; Senate: 51 R - 49 D
b. Some of the biggest polling errors this century occurred in reliably red states and districts that underestimate Republican support (The Economist). Given where the competitive races are located this year, another underestimation would be enough to keep Republicans in control of the Senate and to have Democratic House margins in the single digits.
3. The polls and analysts underestimate Democrats by a normal polling error.
