I have mixed feelings this morning

What I feel good about

35 seats were up for reelection in the Senate, Republicans lost all but 13 of them, Republicans got their ass handed to them in the House, and lost 7 Governor seats, and my state went solid Blue

So once again America overwhelmingly rejected Trump and this time he can not be protected since Republicans no longer control the house. 2020 will be even uglier for Republicans, because most of the seat up for election in the Senate will be held by Republicans.


What I do not feel so good about is the racists are highly motivated, solid Republican, and well funded by their billionaire owners who they obediently serve like mindless sheep being led to the slaughter, so I expect Trump to continue inciting them with hatred because it's all be has, and even though turnout was high, I'm disappointed that it wasn't even higher because too many dangerous assholes won last night by slim margins.
