My prediction is a roughly even senate and a democratic majority in the House of about +5-8.

Is it really neo Nazi? I think the issue is that JKR made an entire universe in which bloodline = magical powers, which is different than this reality. In that universe, being in favor of high quality bloodlines is good as it ensures that magical powers will continue. That’s the world building we have. In Way of Kings, magic powers are a property of a certain kind of rock, thus if you want to preserve magical powers in Way of Kings you horde those rocks.
JKR is notoriously bad about internal consistency in her world building, and the bloodlines = magic bit is one of them. If you’re writing to make the point that everyone should be included, maybe don’t make genetics a component of your magic system. Also, maybe don’t make the gnomes working in the bank Jewish stereotypes.

I mean there’s a difference between “not supposed to lie, but do it anyway” and “lying is fine actually.” There is no Christian doctrine that says I can lie to advance Christianity. It doesn’t exist. If you lie as a Christian, it’s a sin, no matter what causes its advancing. If a Muslim lies for the sake of Islam, my understanding is that it’s not a sin.
The rules are mostly about giving the people running gyms a firm way to say no to men in women’s restrooms so you don’t have to wait until the man does something really bad in a women’s restroom before you can act against that man. If the rules don’t say no men, you can’t kick out the men unless they’re behaving badly, and by then it’s probably too late.
