House has not been called yet and still can flip or if not very likely to reduce their margin, and there are state legislature/officals seats that matter too. We need those state officials more than ever to try to stand up to trump

It ain’t gonna happen. America is dead.

Down ballot, dems weirdly did decently in a number of states even though they didn't do as well for president

Wisconsin no longer has a republican super majority in their state legislature

Kentuky supreme court flipped to democratic control

There was a lot of ticket splitting and republicans who only voted for Trump and left the rest blank

Trump isn't even in office yet. The next 4 years are going to be really bad, but if we adopt your attitude they'll be filled with the worst possible policies and appointments imaginable.

Get out there and do whatever you can to protect your community from oppression. Don't roll over and declare defeat, fight like hell to make sure he gets as little accomplished in his second term as possible.

Fight like hell? Like… when have we ever fought?
