As a Libertarian that last thing I wanted was Biden/Harris having free reign over the country with the house and senate. I was ok with a muted Biden for 4 years.
Thank a lot Trump for once again snatching defeat from an almost certain victory. Thanks all the nutjob Trump voters who pushed all this Kraken nonsense and pedophile networks ruling the world and deep state and all the crazy talk. You got what you deserved but it effects grounded in reality people like me. The majority of Americans who don't care for Trump but do not want Biden's agenda to go ahead unstopped.
A sad day in America.
The Dems have slim majorities and they are dysfunctional when it comes to governing so I'm not fearful that the democratic "free reign" will have much effect on our country. The Dems have various factions withing the party that are ideologically opposed, the in-fighting between the moderates and the progressives will prevent extreme legislation. Joe Manchin is opposed to court packing, so that's DOA.
I have change my mind. I still believe a balance of power is important in this country. But I have seen enough of Mitch McConnel and would like to personally thank President Donald J. Trump for handing over the Senate.
Instead of campaigning with the strong message to GOP voters to vote to ensure there is a check on Democratic policies he spent the month crying for his own self interest and discrediting the Georgia election. This behavior of course led to multiple campaigns by GOP idiots telling GOP voters to stay home as the election can't be trusted. As turnout was lower than anticipated and in races this close this clearly was a factor in the results. If that was not enough the phone call to attempt to overthrow our democracy was the final blow.
Thank you Mr. President. You are an absolute moron. I look forward to you throwing Mike Pence under the bus this afternoon just as you have turned on every former loyal supporter who dares to cross you. That is the behavior of a dictator and you will no longer have power in just 14 more sleeps.
Same thing is happening in Ohio right now...it’s gone from bellwether to MAGA in less than eight years. I’m kinda surprised about TN with its influx of new residents...hopefully things will turn around.
It’s honestly a shame what’s happened to the GOP. You look at the UK and their Conservative Party is actually conservative while still believing in science. The GOP has become a power-hungry party of fascists who don’t believe in democracy anymore, only rugged individualism for the public and feeding at the public trough for the corporate elite.
I tend to think Ohio's movement is somewhat temporary, though. The MAGA areas- which are older and heavily white- are the ones dying out, and only the blue counties, particularly Franklin, have seen more growth than the rest of the state combined. The current demographics of the state, which are Trump's base, won't last forever under that scenario. The state should also be ending the severe gerrymandering that prevented it from participating in the 2018 blue wave, so Dems should gain a few seats once that happens. Actual political registration is only about R+2. I think Ohio will return more to its more purplish state for the next election, especially if Trump isn't on the ballot. Trumpers are loyal only to Trump, not to other Republicans.
On the contrary, we'll finally get some competent governance in this first world country, the most powerful country on earth before the Trump error happened at least.
GOP can get another bite at the apple when you've taken out the crazy.

Watching the past 4 years the dems have been united in congress. Trump had trouble getting things passed with a majority in the senate. Obamacare repeal comes to mind. I do agree Manchin is the wild card.
The republicans did this to themselves. Getting in bed with Trump and the Q world did them in. Decisions have consequences. The republican party needs to step back and realize what they've done. This is no ones fault but their own.
As someone who voted for Mitt Romney in 2012 and supported John Kasich in 2016, I could not agree more. If Republicans want me back in the fold, they need to get back to something resembling normal
