I am joyful today, but also well aware of what we are up against next. Part of this awareness is to not fall for whatever spin the GOP and the GOP-controlled media will try to put on last night's election. You saw it with your own eyes. Do not believe what they are going to tell you you saw.
The next 12 months will be the most consequential for American politics since the 1850s. I don't say that glibly. We warned what would happen and they've done it and more. It appears we still have free elections, and so now they will now throw everything they have at us, a fascist kitchen sink.
