Good morning. What a day.
November 3rd will be remembered in history as a day like December 7th or July 4th. It was the day that tens of millions of people stood up to defend democracy in the United States.
I have no illusions about the many, many dark points in this country’s history, which predated Donald Trump, many of which were still very much present when he took office. But a democracy that has at least the pretense of respecting human rights and basic decency is infinitely better than a dictatorship that has open contempt for anything that challenges its power.
We are a long way from being completely out of the woods. Donald Trump still has two more years in his term and his sycophants still command the most powerful military in the world, as well as a squad of domestic henchmen that openly act outside of the law. They can do enormous harm to the country and the world in this time.
🚨 WOW...He Didn't Think It COULD GET ANY WORSE Until THIS!
HOLY F*CK: DEEP BLUE MEGA-TSUNAMI ANNIHILATES MAGA | The Kyle Kulinski Show

For years, Americans have been viciously divided according to race, religion, immigration status, and gender identity by politicians dead set on making us fight each other rather than them. In a year where real people’s struggles were impossible to ignore, that effort fell short.
It’s hard to overstate the scale of Democratic victories in this year’s midterm elections.
Voters broke for Democratic candidates by margins scarcely anticipated by even the party’s rosiest polls — often in deep red states and congressional districts that few seriously thought were competitive. Democrats will now control a commanding House majority and hold a significant edge in the Senate as well.
This was a decisive rejection of Trumpism — and it happened on a significantly tilted playing field.

Ever since the Covid-19 pandemic, America has been in a funk. The whole country has seemed to be in a sour mood, unhappy with everything, feeling as if the world has gone off its axis and life is out of balance. The trauma of that experience was probably far deeper and more injurious than we wanted to admit, so we just sort of sleepwalked as events cascaded around us, feeling emotionally distanced and impotent.
We finally woke up and shook it off. For the first time in six years, the American people took back control of their own destiny and issued a stunning, overwhelming rebuke to the Republican Party, which had fallen back into power during that period of national somnolence and took a wrecking ball, figuratively and literally, to the country. America, it seems, decided to save itself.
TSUNAMI OF DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISTS WIN IN COLORADO!! | The Kyle Kulinski Show
Dispatch editors say there has been an anti-Trump movement brewing inside the Republican Party since President Donald Trump first arrived on the scene years ago. But the enigmatic leader trampled all thought of dissent, buttressed by millions of fawning, MAGA voters prepared to turn on GOP lawmakers in an instant to please Trump.
But in the aftermath of a punishing Tuesday mid-term that ousted Republicans across the nation, Trump’s Trample Boots appear to be collecting mud on a shelf. Instead, the president looked old and defeated Wednesday while lauding his controversial ballroom. Now editors hope GOP fire-starters can rediscover their matches.
“There are scores of current Republican lawmakers who have long believed the party needed new direction, even if they’ve often been afraid to say so in public. We know this because they tell us in hushed, off-the-record conversations — conversations that have been taking place since Trump first arrived on the political scene more than a decade ago,” said Dispatch editors. “We hope the results of these midterms will embolden them to say in public what they’ve told us in private over the years.”
