As the clocks struck midnight last night, the republican house and senate members screamed in horror as their atoms phased out of place in Washington DC and returned to their home states in the same instance that their screams were replaced by those of their democratic replacements phasing into their places in congress.

This outburst was soon replaced with confident smirks as they too knew accountability and governance had returned to the Capitol.

    Putting Trump in a lame duck session is a positive, as it partially stymies how much worse things can get, but I don't really expect the material conditions of the working class to change all that much nor will the experiences of those affected by the imperial oppressive apparatus such as ICE. If the DNC can maintain a hold over the legislature and win the executive in two years, they might get nicer prisons, which, admittedly, is a change in their material conditions.
