That was the kind of election I expected for 2016 and then hoped again for 2024. We had one in 2018 that I thought would sustain us into 2020 and although we won the presidency we didn't carry the House and Senate appropriately. Last night was different than 2018 which was uplifting but not overwhelming. We won everything of highlighted significance and then most all of the less highlighted significant races and policy votes last night. In fact I have yet to cross paths with a democratic loss anywhere from last evening. Although I expect we weren't perfect but as of yet I cannot confirm that we weren't perfect.
The major difference with last night's election is that the number of voters who turned out were incredibly energized. We do not ever see this kind of a turnout on an election where it isn't even a midterm election. What I also learned from last night is that although people kept it to themselves generally they really showed that they despise trump and his republican bootlickers. Last night became a referendum against what the republican party has become. Even the rank and file of the republican party understood the blowout they received and I suspect a lot of republican voters crossed over and voted with democrats.
What isn't shocking is that the republican leadership refuse to acknowledge the ass kicking they took and the reason for it. It will be business as usual for republican leadership as they ignore last night and continue the campaign of undermining democracy and inflicting pain on the working middle poor class. We the people do understand what we achieved last night and now we need to build on that to put the republicans under even more pressure to break ranks with trump and his goons. We the people spoke last night and if the rank and file didn't hear it let me tell them now. A reckoning is coming for those who continue to hurt the American people and no one will escape the torrent of payback we will administer once the cost comes due to the vile and despicable power republicans are wielding!
This blog will be an advocate for compassion, curiosity and human survival. When these elements of human nature are being denied, wholly, severally or individually, less than positive human traits are the outcome. It is my wish and hope that my reasonings on a variety of subjects will provide the readers of this blog with personal and public insights. My only motive is to provide a forum for advancing enlightenment. Carl Clark.
