The libs got their "blue wave" after spending the last year and a half saying they couldn't do any actual actions cause it'd hurt the Dems chances and Trump has too much power. Now the Dems (at time of writing this) gained 25 seats in the House, 7 seats in the Senate, and 5 new Governors. Are the libs finally gonna stop yelling at everyone wanting to do more than a peaceful protest every 9 months on a weekend? Are they even gonna bother still doing that? Or are they gonna have a new excuse of "we can't till we also have the presidency and the margins are too thin"?

You're right.

But a minority can cause a lot of problems, thanks to the procedural bullshit and rules that Congress operates under in order to provide themselves more cover for doing nothing. Also, as we saw with AES and others, the socialists don't seem particularly afraid to take on their own party.

We'll see how it all turns out. I'm not going to get excited until I see action.
