Temporary Relief From Electoral Insanity

When all else has gone, there is still hope.

Trump and his MAGA Republicans were rebuked across the nation yesterday. Democrats breathed a deep sigh of relief.

Many Republicans, including Trump, were shocked that the "blue wave" was so big. They actually thought they were going to win New Jersey. But they lost by 15 percentage points! They lost across the nation.

Now, they prepare for the next election. They know they cannot win unless they cheat or rig the system.

But, people have grown accustomed to their "win at all costs" operations. They know Trump will do whatever he can possibly do, legally or illegally, to declare himself and his Party the winner of the next election.

They were going to gerrymander the districts in Texas on their own, without the approval of the voters or the courts. Democrats countered in California with their own re-districting, but they put it to a vote of the people, unlike the Republicans in Texas.

So, the election is over and we hang on to fight another day.
