“I could fire every­body right now.”
—Pres­i­dent Em­bar­rass­ing Dis­grace, beloved by all the worst peo­ple you’ve ever met
 

Ses­sions is out. Here’s where the fun be­gins.

Low En­er­gy Trump is hav­ing a press­er right now. His at­ti­tude be­trays his words.

Not a lot of brava­do to go along with what he’s fram­ing as a win, which is odd since the man is al­most all brava­do, all the time.

And your racist rel­a­tives ap­plaud be­cause every­one knows the real racism is re­mind­ing white men that they be­have in a racist way.

And QAnon be freakin out yo.

 

It’s Smart peo­ple. Bet­ter than dumb peo­ple, gen­er­al­ly.

And no, ‘com­mon sense’ isn’t re­al­ly much of a thing to crow about but good for you keep­ing your­self from catch­ing on fire I guess. That takes some kind of smarts.

And Texas moved for­ward last night in a num­ber of ways. Look to the next one and keep go­ing.

It may not feel like it,
it may not look like it,
but huge huge strides were made last night, even in the red­dest ar­eas of our coun­try.

We made De­mo­c­ra­t­ic can­di­dates both palat­able and com­pet­i­tive (very com­pet­i­tive) in a num­ber of places where that would have been un­think­able just two years ago. We put a his­toric num­ber of women in the House and not just women but women of col­or. We struck vi­tal blows for ex­pand­ed vot­ing rights and against ger­ry­man­der­ing.

We may have tricked our­selves into be­liev­ing a sta­tis­ti­cal­ly im­pos­si­ble blue tsuna­mi was com­ing, but to give up hope now would be a huge mis­take that would throw away hard won gains and play di­rect­ly into the hands of the fas­cist wingnuts we are fight­ing against.

As odi­ous as the mod­ern Trump­ist re­pub­li­can par­ty is (and vol­umes could be writ­ten on that very top­ic) they know how to play the long game and not get rat­tled (of­ten by for­mal­i­ties like ‘is this can­di­date a crim­i­nal and or ped­erast?’) and they stay the course.

That is what we need from you.

It may seem Sisyphean and I get that, but you guys are turn­ing your cities and states pur­ple at a rate that’s forc­ing your op­po­nents to cheat more brazen­ly just to con­tain it.

That is frus­trat­ing to be sure, but it’s also con­fir­ma­tion that you’re land­ing body blows.

There are lots of sil­ver lin­ings to be found in last night’s re­sults and every sin­gle one of them points the way to 2020.

We have stopped the mo­men­tum of Trump­ism. Now is the time to counter it with our own. Don’t give up.
