DEMOCRATS HAVE SPOKEN

the silence is deafening!

We now have a whole host of characters that hate America IN CHARGE OF IT!!!!
Joni Ernst (she want to KILL THE GOVERNMENT...with her hand gun)
Paul LePage (for FUCKS SAKE....what the hell Maine! This guy is crazier than a shithouse rat!)
Nathan Deal (This guy is a bastard yet he won re-election)
Scott Walker (wow...fuck you wisconsin)
Rick Scott (no words)
Sam Brownback (running the state of Kansas INTO THE GROUND and still won)

On and on it can go.Colorado. Maryland. Michigan. This is like some crazy nightmare. I think it is great that some are trying to put a positive spin on it. The sad fact is that the 'people' have spoken. Actually, they barely spoke at all. Registered voter participation was very low. Democrats have had their say...they think rethugs in control is great! Democrats love the idea of Joni "I got my gun" Ernst as a U.S. Senator. They love the idea of Paul "batshit crazy" LePage as their chief executive in Maine.

Spin it any way you want. Lie to yourself all you want. Democrats are all tapped out. Goodbye ACA (they will gut it). Goodbye LGBT rights (don't lie to yourself). Ted Cruz is now a mainstream republican.

Not saying the game is over...but I see few ways forward.

FUCK the fucking republicans. All hail our corporate masters!

in one of the deepest blue counties in the country, King county in Washington state, had a 30% participation rate. 30%. In a state with mail-in ballots. Barely had to get out of the damn chair.
