Republicans routed as Democrats gain powerful new leverage over Trump for remainder of his presidency

Democrats have regained control of the US Senate, routing Republicans nationwide with historic victories that will give them powerful new leverage over Donald Trump for the remainder of his presidency.

Democrats will soon have the ability to hold up not just Trump’s legislative agenda, but also any appointments he makes to his cabinet or the federal judiciary – including the supreme court, where conservatives have a 6-3 majority.

    Your feelings don’t matter.

    Also, they didn’t kick out any Nazis. Just Republicans.

    Americans would have fought Nazis to the death, of course, just like last time. Luckily for us there weren’t any seizing power, eh?

      To me, my feelings matter. To you they seem to matter, as you chose to enter a conversation with me :-) thanks for your empathy!

      For your view on Nazis: I don’t share this. I can see clear fascist components in the current government.

      So… Nazis? If you’re a republican, your party is the Nazi MAGA party. Therefore you are one as well.

      Don’t try and sugarcoat this shit. Republicans are Nazis by definition as long as MAGA is still a thing.

      No. But there was a very prominent nazi feeding the republicans lots of cash for votes, wasn’t there? So, nazi, once removed.
