I was 9 but remember things started to feel better after Reagan won within a few days.
Seeing the wun and fellow travelers gone from 1600 and replaced by someone who cares about America can’t come too soon.
I got that feeling in spades when Newt’s CWA took control of Congress. It was the first Republican Congress in thirty years. My boss at the time had been a child in Korea when they were invaded by the North. He said overnight communist flags went up everywhere and it felt like a different country. The new Congress was a feeling like that, but in a GOOD way.
