This year the Republicans did not have an electoral college to save them.
Democrats for the third election in a row won the overall popular vote in the November Elections. Only gerrymandering and the electoral college have saved the Republicans for the last eight years. Not anymore.
Democrats have taken back the House. They appear to have kept Senate losses (Jon Tester says hi) to a minimum amount of pain (although Democrats have to develop a program that appeals to the rural areas of the country along with the urban and suburbs). They picked up Governorships across the country, including the vanquishing of the dreaded "public servants" Kris "soon to be nominated for Attorney General" Kris Kobach and Scott Walker. Democrats also made inroads in the State Houses and other local areas. The Democrats are coming back.
And what of the Republicans led by their Duce the popular vote loser and KKK endorsed candidate. Well, he held a 90-minute press brawl of a press conference today before staging the firing of his attorney general in an apparent blatant attempt to circumvent the Mueller Investigation. In that press conference, he belittled journalists as they asked him questions like "are you a white supremacist" (I bet the kids who were educated on School House Rock never thought a President of these United States in 2018 would be asked that question,) mocked the defeated Republicans who did not kiss his tukas, and regurgitated falsehood after falsehood (like saying it was a great victory for him in the midterms) along with threats against the Democrats if they dared investigate him.
There is no Republican Party anymore. it is the Trump Fascist Party of Red States. Democrats will have two years to build on their recent successes. There is a lot of work to do but remember that we are the majority and we want progress and inclusion whereas they have nothing but hate and fear. We can beat that. All we have to do is work for it.
