I truly wish there was a way people could learn their lesson without the rest of us having to go to school.
@RickiTarr As a European, this is what I think:
What if the process goes quicker this way? If Kamala had won, the Magas would have just been angry, learning nothing.
Now they watch the democrats step back, quietly regrouping. Some Magas are seeing their daughters die from the abortion ban they voted for. Some get no Christmas bonus, or are losing their jobs, because of upcoming tariffs. And they can only blame themselves.
Soon the Magas might turn on 45, and you all can sit back and watch.

There is precedent for this. The last time Republicans tried to use huge tariffs it backfired badly. Both the House and Senate flipped to Democrat.
"As the economists predicted, the high tariff proved to be a disaster. Even before its enactment, U.S. trading partners began retaliating by raising their tariff rates, which froze international trade. The tariff fight solidified Hoover’s ties with Republican regulars, but it shredded his standing among his party’s progressives. Most of the progressive Republican senators who had campaigned for Hoover in 1928 wound up endorsing Franklin D. Roosevelt for president in the next election. Nor did the tariff sit well with the voters. In 1932 they turned the majority in both houses over to the Democrats, by large margins. The voters also made clear their disdain for the Smoot-Hawley tariff by booting both Reed Smoot and Willis Hawley out of office that year."

There will need to be free and fair elections for the House and Senate to flip. Trump is unlikely to allow those to take place.
And it's the same story for Republicans every time Democrats win.
I'm very tired of it.
America's not done, we just have a new bunch of morons in charge who are going to test the boundaries of what's legal.
Trump is not king, and every individual state is permitted to conduct their own elections their own way. He's not gonna stop elections. If he tried to send in people to halt elections governors would call in their National Guard.
@feld @RickiTarr @ajc418 Well, let’s hope you are right.
