(58,693 posts)This is just the beginning. If we really want to stuff the RW assholes back in their holes, it will take far more than a single mid-term election. The ground work has been laid. This should be a beginning like 1932/4, something that puts progressives in control for a generation or more. It'll take that long.

By the way, unless you got a personality transplant and learned to love authoritarian nationalism, you'd still be in if we didn't prevail this time. You'd have about as much choice as the British during WW2.
