The effect we fully expected from the 2016 election that didn't materialize is what we are beginning to experience now. 2 years late but now it comes. In some silver lining way, the trump debacle has united us in ways we couldn't or weren't able to do back in 2016. Even if we had won the presidency back then we still would have faced an incongruous Congress. Granted we wouldn't have had the last 2 Supreme court appointees but what we got instead is an alliance behind progressive and liberal values that must be weighed as more than significant.
In fact the trade off of the supreme court and the blue wave is probably more fortuitous for the whole of the country. The blue wave is real and deeply powerful in it's attraction. The idea that the wealthy and the carpetbaggers of our nation should control our lives is now fully understood to be unacceptable. What is even more significant is that all walks of life are political participants at levels heretofore unseen in our recent modern age. I harken back to the scene in the movie "Tora! Tora! Tora!", where the invading Japanese commander states after the diplomatic snafu before the attack that he feared that all they had done was awaken a sleeping giant. Well our blue wave is that awakened sleeping giant and we are not amused.
The rebut to the pokers will be swift and measured to allow for maximum punishment within the law but our anger is beyond that. Most of us are spitting mad at what trumps and republicans are trying to do to our constitutional democracy. In our awakening we now see the deceptions and lies for what they are and were and we are well ready to stop the carnage while correcting the already damaged. The cleanup from these few short decades that the weasel republican party instigated during their reign will not be overnight but it will proceed toward a new motivation to make not only the concept of a trumpian exercise in the future impossible but with renewed vigor we will establish better protocols for improving our democracy for all.
