Blue Wave smacked Republicans so hard DeSantis dropped the act and started talking like a guy who went to Yale and got a JD from Harvard again.
Ron DeSantis explains why the GOP "screaming socialism" doesn't work anymore:
"Young people have a very positive view of socialism compared to capitalism. The question is, why is that? Some of it is the education in our universities. But I think a big part of that is, what they're comparing is not free enterprise versus socialism. What they're comparing is how government gets involved in business, and you have crony capitalism. The best kind of indirect supporters of socialism are some of these corporatist republicans who propagate these crony policies. The average person is seeing that and saying, 'Wait a minute, you're trying to bend the government to funnel benefits to this corporation or that industry. What about having a competitive market? ... Young people really aren't seeing that. They're seeing just a handful of companies that have an outsized influence on our economy and on our society"

The party that elevates Kyle Rittenhouse, a 17 yr old killer, & tears down Gus Walz, a 17 yr old with special needs who loves his dad, is a party that needs to be lit on fire & thrown in the dumpster & plunged into the deepest depths of the ocean never to be seen again.

files and trials. law and order. belt to ass. it’s accountability time.
Hasan Piker's message to @TheDemocrats in the wake of the power they secured on Tuesday night. He wants the Democrats to put belt to ass on the Republican Party and the Trump regime:
"PUT BELT TO ASS! Ten years from when he went down that dogshit golden escalator. Ten fucking years of fucking destroying this country even when he was out of office. Ten years, we have sat around and had to eat shit. We have never had this resounding of a victory. If the Democrats do not use the real people's mandate that we gave them on Tuesday, we will make them follow through.
This is a democracy. We will make sure you hold them to account and if you don't hold them to account, we'll hold YOU to account. We're going to continue mobilizing.
Put Jon Ossoff's sexy ass up on that fucking podium and put him to fucking work! He's so goddamn good at grilling people for the cameras; I want his fat ass sitting on a goddamn podium grilling the shit out of these people.
This is not about revenge. This is not about vengeance. This is about justice. This is about law and order."

Look, every seat is matters and you should want to win them all, but with a 80+ seat margin, Democrats might actually be better off just having a Republican in ME-02 than a "Democrat" who'll spend the next two years going on Fox News to say "You guys are right, my party is CRAZY"
Four times, the people of Maine’s 2nd District chose me to represent them in Congress. I know what an incredible honor it is to earn their trust. For their faith, I will always be thankful.
I also know a thing or two about winning in tough circumstances. So, I know you have to tip your hat to Paul LePage for winning in the midst of this Blue Tsunami. I stand ready to work with him to ensure the smooth transition that Mainers deserve.
