Republicans routed as Democrats gain powerful new leverage over Trump for remainder of his presidency

Democrats have regained control of the US Senate, routing Republicans nationwide with historic victories that will give them powerful new leverage over Donald Trump for the remainder of his presidency.

Democrats will soon have the ability to hold up not just Trump’s legislative agenda, but also any appointments he makes to his cabinet or the federal judiciary – including the supreme court, where conservatives have a 6-3 majority.

    Make fun of people all you want; we as Americans have a responsibility to hold our elected officials, yes even ones YOU VOTED FOR, accountable. You are allowed to have a good day and be happy about this but remember that fighting fascism doesn’t just end at the ballot box.

    Nobody is trying to spoil your awesome blue wave feeling, just don’t get complacent and use this opportunity to shit on the left.

    Funny enough I got off Reddit to specifically avoid this sentiment.
