I am already so fucking tired of hearing about DeSantis. Republicans act like Florida is the US. I don't think he's broadly likable. Don't underestimate that. Republicans in general we’re very supportive of his anti-lockdown maneuvering during the height of the pandemic. They see him as very positive for the economy.

Trump is going to absolutely unleash on DeSantis in the next week after these results. He was already talking shit yesterday before things went well for DeSanits and poorly for him. Just wait.
The only open question now is if DeSantis can be talked into going up against Trump instead of waiting for 2028 like Cotton and the others are going to do.

Scheduling my psychiatrist appointment the day after this election probably wasn't the smartest move on my point. Let's just say I walked away with an increase in my Prozac medication.

The two of them tearing into each other for votes would be funny if it wasn't such a likely reality.

I just hate that Trump makes DeSantis look like a reasonable choice. They are both sweat beads on Satan's ballsack.

Stay messy, gop. Dems will stay organized and consistent.

I was so nervous last night, I had to disengage from all SM. What a relief to read this morning. TX voter suppression has got to go. Easy re-election for my US House Rep Beyer. Me too. Yay for Beyer! Not that he was in much danger, but I’m always happy to get to vote for him. 🙂

I have no clear thoughts about it at the moment. I wish it was a decision by combat so at least one of them died. Lol.

I think the likeliest outcome is DeSantis chickens out and waits for 2028. Because I have yet to see anyone in the GOP party actually stand up to Trump in any way that is popularly supported.

Maybe this will be the far right's version of Hillary v the Bernie Bros and TFG and Walking Sausage's deepest base voters will just refuse to vote for the other candidate and make space for the Dem candidate. Also sorry to mention the Bernie Bros lol but that's the only silver lining I could see.

MPR is reporting that MN Senate Republican party is conceding that DFL has taken control of Senate.
Lets fucking gooooooo, Walz. I'm really pumped at the idea of what they can accomplish in these next 4 years here. I do think weed will be legal within 1-2 years now.

I think this is right. Desantis doesn’t strike me as a trailblazer and I think he will shy away from the fight. But man, would love to see it.

If we end up with Trump v Biden in 2024 I might cry.
I want age limits in addition to term limits.

Speaking of VA congressional races, I'm happy to see that Jennifer Wexton kept her seat in VA 10.

I just saw a tiktok where a guy was responding to someone talking about the red wave coming with "Looks like democrats were able to insert a tampon in time then".
It's good that I wasn't drinking anything when I saw that.
