It's at least going to turn more states blue I think.

Not that I want the GOP to die, just to break its Trump fever and go back to being a “normal” political party organized along the lines of McCain or Romney.

I wish it would happen through a mass awakening and rejection of right-wing lies and propaganda, rather than another case study in how politically-motivated lies can lead thousands to die needlessly.

But, historical lessons not learned the first time must be re-learned the hard way.

agreed, agreed, and agreed. politicians eventually respond to de-elections pretty reliably, so i think it's just a question of when they see the writing on the wall. but even if the mass awakening occurred today, it'd take a long time to get all those people vaccinated.

I can't agree. The GQP must be annihilated.
