Oh what an interesting election night and thank the good Lord for the results! There is hope after all, America! It is time to get our country back out of the hands of authoritarianism and away from isolationism. Today is a good day for America and hope for our democracy is here!
I am so thrilled to see Democratic voters stepping up to the plate, and exercising their right to vote. However, we cannot remain complacent, as we are under an authoritarian regime with a Supreme Court complicit to Donald Trump's rogue demands. And he has plenty of Republicans helping him.
But there are some good things to celebrate! We got our first black female governor in the United States--Keisha Lance Bottoms winning against her opponent Rick Jacksonin Georgia! For the first time, a Native American female, Deb Haaland won as governor in New Mexico! I love the fact James Talarico beat Ken Paxton in Texas by a big margin! I rejoice to see teetering and swaying Susan Collins of Maine go off into the horizon! And Abdul-El-Sayed withstood the onslaught from a last minute surprise by sour grapes Democratic Representative Haley Stevens!
A number of states flipped in the Senate; including Kansas, Texas, both of the Carolinas, Ohio, Maine and Iowa. It was truly an exciting night, and my hope the cosplay in Congress will stop, and that the Democrats put their gloves on and fight!
Impeach! Impeach! Impeach! Impeach our president!
The Associated Press reported information from a former survey they conducted about what was on many people's mind concerning the mid-terms. "Most voters say the economy or the state of democracy is the top issue facing the country, with the cost of living and government corruption weighing heavily on many Americans’ minds as they cast a ballot in Tuesday’s midterm elections. The poll also signals a strong desire for Congress to take a more forceful role in checking the presidency."
We cannot let our guard down, as an extremist still occupies our White House, ready to throw out executive orders like wayward missiles. It is time for Congress to remind our president our nation--our Constitution--operates with an executive, legislative, and judicial branch designed to maintain a system of check and balances. And all Americans should continue to exercise their civic duty to vote, because there is power in voting. There is a whole lot of work ahead which must be done, and Americans need to remind their elected officials that they work for the people.
