This.

So the MSM tells you this is an election about Trump and you all just believe that? It really never was going to be anything but a backlash election. Whether Hilary won or Trump.

And this is why Trump winning has actually been great for progressives. Hillary would have set us back 20 years at least.

Now Trump gets the midterm and next election hate instead.

And make no mistake, the hate is coming. As some have noted, "the economy" predicts how the party in power will be viewed....this was a lot more accurate back in the days before Reagan and the neo-liberal order.

Ever since we started caring more about inflation than workers and employment, the MSM definition of how "the economy" is doing, has had very little impact on most Americans.

They all own stocks and have good jobs so they don't understand this. When they finally figure it out -- they just get defensive and act like its the other party's fault.

I think it all depends on what the newly Democratically controlled House finds when it investigates Trump.

the red team lost their ability to pass legislation, making it an unmitigated disaster for them

The Republicans extended their hold on the Senate.

The Democrats flipped the House and hold a 1 seat majority.

It was a pretty average midterm.

The fact that there was no "Blue Wave" speaks volumes. It's a definitely a win for Trump.

The House will be lead by people who make the Democrats look insane, so that's a plus as well.

If Republicans held everything for 4 years, the pendulum would swing much faster and that's not what they want.

Dems flipped ~30 house seats and 7 governors.

Repubs flipped 2 house seats and 2 senate seats.

Many more repub senators are up for re-election in 2022 and 2026 compared to 2018.

Trump is done.
