Last night's election results were a shellacking that I haven't seen since 2006. It may be even more seismic than that. As I write this, Mississippi is still in play for a Senate seat. Mississippi!
Hopefully, the GOP will finally reject MAGA/Trumpism and once again become a serious political party that focuses on actual issues that people care about and not anti-trans/culture war bullshit. This is that teachable moment that Barack Obama once talked about.
Let's see if they learn anything from this.

Mississippi!!!! I'm just going to let that sink in a bit. I was so hopeful for Angie Nixon in Florida and she came close, but no cigar. She came the closest Dems have done in a statewide election since 2018. I worked that one and progressive forces lost by 0.47%. Now they have to govern with a populist economic message that speaks to everyday working people's economic realities. And Republicans need to wake up and smell the coffee - it's time to drop the culture war bs. I'm not sure they will learn this lesson, however, as they've built much of their platform and party's direction around white grievance politics. The old days of the live and let live socially Republican Party are long gone. No more calls for low taxation rates and an orderly society, they're on to something wholly different. I'm excited to see what happens next.
