I'll even add to that an old antecdote I've posted about on these boards before...
My mom and Mexican step-dad listened to nothing but Republican talk radio in their furniture restoration shop except for Christmas time when Christmas music would be on. It was a fuckin' bummer. One day during the summer I stopped by and was shocked to hear regular ole' Classic Rock on the radio. When I asked my Step-Dad why, he told me that I was right and they are a lot happier now.
He was referring to a conversation I had with both of them saying that Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the idiots they listened to were no different than the people they were talking about on the other side, and that all any of them did was make millions of dollars every year sowing division in the country and putting shitty thoughts into everybody's head.
(This conversation was posted about here in greater detail and is in my post history somewhere).
I'm actually planning an intervention with my Brother too. He watches that goddamned Newsmax all the time now, and it's not doing him any good. (For example, he was telling me yesterday morning before any of this went down that Trump still had a chance and I told him he's just got to let it go like I did months ago since the Establishment already stole it and all he was doing was setting himself up for a big letdown).
The first draft of anything is shit. :)

The chickens come home to roost

For the first time since 1812, the United States Capitol was breached.
A mob of violent Trump supporters pushed past a police barricade, smashed windows, vandalized Congressional offices, and posed for pictures on the House floor. The joint session to certify the results of the Electoral College — the final step necessary to formalize President-elect Biden's victory — was postponed. How did it come to this?
The short answer is that Trump asked his supporters to come to D.C. and go "wild." But the reality is it did not happen overnight.
For years, the Republican Party has courted and normalized radical elements motivated by conspiracy theories. They believed doing so was essential for the party to win. And the party's political patrons, including America's most powerful corporations, were willing to play along because they believed it was in their financial interest.
After securing the Republican Party nomination in 2012, Mitt Romney traveled to Trump's Las Vegas hotel to kiss Trump's ring and accept his endorsement. At the time, Trump was aggressively promoting the racist conspiracy theory that President Obama was not born in the United States. Romney was willing to look past that because he wanted the support of Trump's fans. The joint appearance was not enough for Romney, but it helped set up Trump's successful run for the presidency in 2016.
Romney, as a Senator, took a tougher stance against Trump and voted to impeach him last year. But his 2012 calculation to link arms with Trump despite his outlandish behavior was repeated by other Republicans again and again.
We saw it most recently in Georgia. Former Senators Kelly Loeffler (R) and David Perdue (R) have backgrounds as traditional Wall Street Republicans. But they decided their best chance at reelection was to become loyal acolytes to Trump. When Trump advanced the baseless conspiracy theory that Georgia's election was rigged, Loeffler and Perdue dutifully issued a statement calling on the Republican Secretary of State, Brad Raffensberger, to resign. And in the closing days before Tuesday's election, they endorsed the lawless effort to object to certifying the Electoral College vote.
Critically, aligning themselves with wild conspiracy theories and dangerous anti-democratic rhetoric did not cost Loeffler or Perdue the support of corporate America. After calling for Raffensberger's resignation, Loeffler and Perdue received large contributions from corporations like Ford, Verizon, Goldman Sachs, and Microsoft.
This is part of a pattern. Yesterday, Popular Information reported that the 138 conspiracy-minded Republicans who sought to cast aside millions of votes and install Trump for a second term received more than $16 million from 20 major corporations. Beyond the cash, the contributions provide these members of Congress with legitimacy.
The largest contributor to the group, AT&T, donated $4,000 this cycle to Congressman Paul Gosar (R-AZ), who continued to defend the actions of the mob even after they stormed the Capitol. He described the riot as "leftist violence," referring to the conspiracy theory that it was perpetrated by Antifa members posing as Trump supporters.

I'd share in your joy about this, but it's The Establishment, and not the Democrats that are running the show for at least the next 2 years.
I'm just pointing out that people should be taking notice because ** I'll ** be taking notice, and pointing out what I've been posting all along.
That ...
... If democrats* don't do any different, how are they any better?
And ...
when Biden* fails to keep his promises - or even promote them - I'll be happy to laugh at his skinny saggy ass parading all over town in his New Clothes™.
I expect nothing less from the Biden* Administration and the democratic* Congress than more anti-Russia propaganda (we're already seeing it here), more troops overseas, more war and more new wars whether they be by formal US troops, by proxy, with covert US CIA 'forces', or by drone - or any combination, more "color revolutions", more troops along the Russian border, BUT! diddle complaints about China (as long as they keep buying our Treasury IOUs), more spying on us citizens, more propaganda in our 'news' in general, no new manufacturing, no jobs repatriated from overseas, lots more immigration legal and otherwise, no greenhouse gas emission reductions, no new nuclear treaties with Russia ... the list is even longer, but it's getting tedious to type out!

Nope.
As I have been posting since before the election, my 2 biggest concerns are global warming and nuclear war waged with the only other nuclear power capable of destroying life on the planet. And I do fully expect the Biden* administration and the democratic* Congress to completely blow past those issues .... and in fact, run the nuclear clock even closer to 0.
But of all the OTHER promises made, and ALL those hopes a Biden* administration and democratic* Congress carry, I expect them to fulfill zero. More than that, I expect them to go backwards.
Not that I expect YOU to understand, because YOUR biggest focus is RUSSIA!!!RUSSIA!!!RUSSIA!!! You don't give one hump about the planet, the US, or Americans in your rabid hatred.
If democrats* don't do any different, how are they any better?
