Yeah, I meant to add that it's probably way too early for victory laps. Hell, we don't even know if we have the House or not at this point. Like long COVID, It's probably going to take a few cycles to see what if any holdover Trump effects we suffer. Just to clarify, Trump is COVID here.
But as was mentioned, the simple fact that we didn't have the expected shitshow of election denying when the babies lost is HUGE. Yuge, even.
I stated quite a while ago that we were already off the cliff while many of youse were warning that we were approacing the cliff...so in my scenario, now we somehow miraculously grabbed onto an outcrop at terminal velocity, and are hanging on for dear life. We're in a freaking cartoon!!
(which is a good thing, because that means that all kinds of absurd rescue scenarios are possible).
