Yesterday Proved It: Democracy Is a Verb
Mike Nellis
I couldn’t stop thinking about it last night as I watched Democrats rack up win after win. And it wasn’t about exit polls or some consultant’s postmortem memo. It was about the people—the ones who refused to let this country fully slip into the hands of the worst, loudest, most corrupt assholes in America.
Republicans didn’t just lose elections last night. For the first time in a year, they lost full control of the narrative they’ve been force-feeding the American public: that Donald Trump is beloved, and that resistance is futile.
The American people are pissed. They were promised lower prices—now everything costs more. Promised a booming economy—and we’ve got the weakest job market in five years. Promised a functioning government—and instead, it’s shut down. Health care is bring ripped from people while tens of millions are staring down hunger. And meanwhile? Republicans in the House aren’t even showing up to work.
But people didn’t give up. Over the last year, while the GOP tried to gaslight us into believing Democrats could never win again, we proved them wrong. You said: screw that.
