Given the recent disappointments with the overall Democratic vote results on Nov 3rd (notwithstanding the most important result of Biden’s win), I can’t help but feeling pessimistic about the results in Georgia on Tuesday.
It amazed me that Republicans were actually rewarded on Nov 3rd, in spite of everything they have done over the past four years in supplication of Trump.
Since then, they have been emboldened by those 74 million Trump voters to go all in on this total charade of election fraud.
Everything Republicans have done should point toward Biden being provided a Senate majority to help enact much of his proposed agenda … and then to be at least allowed to succeed or fail based upon how that agenda either succeeds or fails.
Instead, there is little reason to believe that a continuing McConnell led Senate will be anything but completely obstructionist, just as they were with Obama.
Biden’s win was a huge step in the right direction. I don’t even want to think about the nightmare of a second Trump term.
But with McConnell still standing firmly in the way, the real good that can possibly be accomplished by the new administration, will be watered down at best.
We can at least thank God that Trump will not be in charge of administering the vaccines.
Please surprise me, Georgia. But I’m not at all counting on it.
