guys the democrats losing the senate isn’t a sign of anyone failing. the senate is stacked towards conservatives anyways, and it needs to be changed. or abolished. we’re sweeping the house, that’s the body of government that represents the will of the people because representation is proportionate to population. don’t be upset about the senate. we did it, we stood up and we voted, against gerrymandering, against voter suppression, against ill-equipped polls, we went out and we spoke out and no one should see this as a loss because it’s not. 

Conservatives all over the internet are bawling right now that the House now can (and will) completely block Trump’s wall and many of his other plans, so yes, big and very important victory last night that happened because tons and tons of you voted this time.

The senate was always a long shot. The House, though? Committees, investigative panels, blocking Trump’s bull? Even if Mueller is fired, the House can rehire him (assuming he doesn’t just dump everything out to the press as soon as he’s fired, because why not at that point) and we’re no worse off.

I know it’s kind of mocked whenever someone cites geeky references to relate to real-world politics, but honestly – this is Gandalf the White showing up and saying “I come back to you now at the turn of the tide.” The job’s not done yet, but it’s what we needed.

So eat that ice cream, down the celebratory drink, etc. And tomorrow we get back to work because there’s still a lot to do.
