What's amazing is that the Republicans lost the House in a wave in 2018, we're about to make Trump a one-term president with Obama's VP and the GOP still could lose the Senate yet Democrats are acting like we lost. It shows how many Democrats have internalized GOP talking points and gaslighting.

It's so fùcking tiresome. Of course, I'm not thrilled about the numbers or possibly not taking the Senate, but a win is a win. When Bush won by tiny margins or lost the Senate he still strutted around like Long Dong Silver calling himself a huge victor and the media believed it. That's how Dems have to learn to operate. Stop soul-searching, handwringing and weeping and do the work.

 

This isn't news to most of us, but I've had to say it more than once over the last 12 hours: America has always had this terrible side to it. It rose to the fore when it elected a Black man. For a lot of white people that caused a massive nervous breakdown; Trump was the racist id comfort food for so many of them, or for people just seeking the comfort of traditional masculine/heterosexual/etc. norms.

 

What we do now is dust ourselves off and push forward. Without Trump in the spotlight, that enabled aspect of the culture over the last four years will begin to wilt IMO, lacking a charismatic figurehead and in the face of inevitable cultural future progress. But it's still going to be a long rehabilitation and a long reckoning. America is a multi-century project. And it would've been even if this wasn't close. We weren't going to sweep away the shadow side of America overnight or in one cycle. We never have. But if we cut off the head of this disgusting fúcking filth, we have come that much closer to beginning to drag the worst of this country back towards something more sane. And tired or not, that is what we are going to have to do and what we can do.

 

Allegedly:
