House Democrats now have won at least 254 seats, and while some race results are still being counted, they estimate they’ll end up with a majority close to 260.
“This is the largest majority that any party has had this century,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-New York) said on X. “News of our demise was greatly exaggerated.”

Ya get what ya vote for.
We’re all gonna get it good and hard....
Quite often when a party wins a landslide victory they
1. Assume it 8s a permanent wave
2. Forget that a large chunk may just be the “I don’t like the other guy now, but may change my mind later”
3. Waste their political capital chasing the other party with impeachment etc.
Let’s see if the democrats repeat what they did in 2008
I am relieved that the 2030 election will be the election when most state house members and governors will be elected who will be involved in the redistricting after the next census. The current group just elected would manipulate the process to lock in a Democrat House majority.
If the democrats can hold on to Texas…………………….
Ive seen this game before, here in CA. I remember when the democrats got their super majority here in Sacramento and of course the republicans were spinning their best case scenario. And then it didn’t happen. And now the democrats do whatever they want, whenever they want, because they will never lose their super majority. They have fixed the game and republicans are non existent under the dome in Sacramento.
Depending on the last races called, Democrats could have up to a full 100 members more than Republicans in the House, and it’s looking like 56 seats in the Senate.
Those aren’t veto-proof numbers, but they’re so close they’ll only have to pick off a few spooked Republicans to pass something over Trump’s veto.
I’m honestly not sure if it’s fraud, or rampant stupidity, or some combination of the two. Any way you slice it though, we’re screwed.

Coming soon to the Nation...
People always vote their wallets at the time of the election. I seriously doubt that most voters have considered the consequences long term.

Since Texas Republicans have now demonstrated what is possible with a majority, I doubt the Texas Democrats coming into office in 6 weeks will feel restrained from passing their own new redistricting map to make their districts bullet-proof from Republican challenges.
Republicans still have a majority in the Texas Senate, but even they will have to find some common ground with Democrats if there’s any hope to have conservative legislation even considered for the next decade.

Mencken was a deft observer of people and politics.
“Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.”
I imagine there are lots of people in both parties right now who are sympathetic with Mencken’s political and social disgust.
It’s not a vote for Democrats it was a vote against Trump..
