The Cost!


Regardless of what happened this election, we made a difference. 

Republicans win heavily in Texas, Missouri, Ohio, Florida, North Dakota, Indiana, Utah and Arizona. The defeat of two massively popular candidates of color hurts a bit. The Republicans keep hold of three gubernatorial states Donald J. Trump carried in 2016.

Georgia, Florida and Ohio went to Republicans. Despite the powerful backing of famous personalities, a heavy voter turnout and frequent presence, the Republicans managed to squeak through.

I choice to not watch the results. 

I see Republicans will pick up four seats in the Senate but will lose the House of Representatives. Trump will not call Nancy Pelosi or top Democratic leaders.

Rick Scott, Mike Braun, Josh Hawley, Marsha Blackburn, Ted Cruz, Kevin Cramer and Mitt Romney will continue to help Trump push through more Suprmee Court nominees. Even Joe Manchin will join in. 

Trump is likely to win his 2020 reelection by 75%. 

We will continue to see more gun violence, ridiculous laws passed in honor of murdered white people, voter suppression, more police officers killing people of color, openly racist candidates and more threats on Americans lives.

The economy could start tanking in a few years. More partisan gridlock.

Yeah, the racists won. White anger still exists. It's unfortunate that the United States is heading towards disaster.
