Republicans right now

This sub seems really admant in trying to convince itself that the Democrats and winning now, and the Republicans are in melt down mode.

In actual reality, the Republicans are extremely happy now.

The Democratic party has been utterly decimated, having lost 900+ state legislature seats, 12 governors, 69 House seats, 13 Senate seats over the last few years. Here is where we stand now:

  • Republicans have won a majority in the House of Representatives, with 238 seats.

  • Republicans have won the majority in the Senate.

  • Republicans now hold 33 Governorships, with a gain of three seats on November 8.

  • Republicans control a record 68 of 98 state legislative chambers.

  • Republicans now hold more total state legislature seats, well over 4,100 of the 7,383, than they have since 1920

  • A former reality TV star with no government experience whatsoever won the White House, and is actually following up on all the promises he made in the campaign.

  • The Republicans are now more powerful than they have been in over 80 years according to Washington Post.

Come the 2018 midterms, the map is incredibly well set up for another sweep and they could win enough seats to have enough power to starting changing the Constitution.

Republicans are not the ones rioting right now, they're not the one whose ideology has been completely annihilated from power, and they're not the ones melting down.

You are.
