This is what Trump and the GOP should've done: when things don't go your way, bust your ass off and make sure things go your way the next time around.

Abrams could've b!tc#ed and moaned like the orange man did after she lost to Kemp in '18, but she made it her mission to turn the state blue in the next election and that's exactly what she did and then some flipping the senate with the 2 seats as well.
After Trump lost, fairly, in 2020 he could've put out a canned statement "thanks for your support. I'll be back better then ever in 2024. Until then please support Biden who was rightfully, and fairly elected the next president for the sake of the country" but nope he did the exact opposite of that, and now the GOP is shattered in tatters.

And she more than made up for it by working to turn GA blue. And she did. Well done!

Poetic justice. GA lead the nation in lynchings. Blacks in were lynched - 586 recorded and the only known Jewish person lynched in the US, Leo Frank, was lynched in GA.

It wasn't that long ago that Georgians elected Lester Maddox as governor. Maddox is famous for chasing away blacks with an axe handle from his Pickrick Cafeteria in Atlanta in defiance of the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Any crazy issue that doesn’t click with Senators like Joe Manchin will fail. The only thing is that they’ll get to be voted on now.

And if crazy issues do come up there will likely be a backlash in 2022 against the governing party as always.
We’ll see if Manchin means what he has said. He has said that he won’t vote to end the filibuster.

NPR: Trump Hasn't Conceded Georgia. Neither Did Stacey Abrams. What Changed?
That is a concession. "The law currently allows no further viable remedy"

Trump is trying to go beyond the law and constitution of our country by creating an uprising to try and take over the country.

Trump needs to resign or be removed.

And so.....she got the state to turn blue, and got an African-American pastor and a Jewish guy elected to democratic seats in the senate. What has Trump done to the Republican party besides turn it into a disaster zone??
