This election was the best thing that could happen to Republicans

1) Winning back the House enables Repulicans to block Biden's catastrophic big brother legislation as well as to set some of the legislative agenda. It also allows for hearings on some of the misdeeds of the current administration.

2) When the shit hits the fan over the Biden policies the Democrats won't be able to blame a Republican congress. The Republicans were not the "dog that caught the car".

3) Trump was seriously damaged. The Trump mystique, to the extent it still existed, may now be gone. This will allow serious Republican candidates to emerge and compete using conservative ideas to bring our society back to sanity.

Happy trolling! 😋

1) Big brother legislation?

That was in the "PATRIOT" Act...

It will only stop some work from getting done, but the Republicans will have a slim majority, so moderate Republicans will be able to work across the aisle to show that they are some of the few who want government to *work*, rather than only being the party of "No".

2) Spending bills originate in the House, so Republicans who vote against legislation most of the country wants WILL be to blame.

Of course, what shit do you think will hit the fan?

The Republicans will make concessions to the crazies and MTG, etc., wasting taxpayer money on investigating conspiracies already shown to be baseless will definitely not boost the standing of the Republicans.

3) Yes, Trump was damaged. But the empowering of MTG, etc., will bring *back* the Republican shit show and make the country again see the dark side of this new Fascism.

Hopefully, it will destroy that party and make reasonable Republicans re-form a new conservative party which has something to sell other than hatred, anger, lies.

4) The Senate will be able to continue to confirm judges at a pace far greater than McConnell. And likely pass new rules.
