Naw. I get what you mean about the shit of it all. But, naw, not exagerated.

Seats were won in states that haven't turned over in ages, if ever. Not purple states but Texas, Kansas, Iowa, maybe even Mississippi ffs.

In a two party fptp system where the Senate is comprised of 2 members from each state and you have places with more cows than people creating an uphill battle by design etc., ya it was a fuckin bloodbath.
