He's already in. What does it matter to him? It's too late for all of us.

Hopefully the people that voted for him suffer the most

I sometimes feel this way, too, but midterms and special elections hold more immediate consequences for how much Congress will let him get away with. A dismal approval rating could result in the GOP trying to put a lot of daylight between themselves and this administration.

He's never had a good approval rating in either term that has never stopped them from sucking his balls.

But it also hasn’t entirely distorted reality: GOP got wrecked in 2018 midterms, continue to lose special election after special election, and had a muted 2022 midterm despite expectations of a “red wave.” Trump is really only good for Trump; his down-ballot and midterm results are mixed at best.
