If republicans get this the progress y'all made will be set back 10-20 years, what a sad state the US is in right now.
That said the constant name calling the left uses whenever someone disagree's with them is probably part of the reason why this is happening, its almost like constantly calling people racists and bigots will cause them to get fed up and turn on you.
Democrats should have tried harder to understand and appeal to why a lot of people were so pissed off at the current system. Instead a lot of them looked down on them (not entirely unjustified tbh) and called them racists/sexists etc.
This is a big fuck you to the current political system. Disappointed in the results but should be fun watching Colbert and the crew this week. Wonder what they'll say
