It had to happen someday. I hope we can weather this and come back stronger in a few years.

Well just think of it this way. The last time the GOP fucked up this badly, they lost the majority for nearly 60 years. I mean the United States suffered for nearly ten years and we literally had to have a World War to pulls us out, but the GOP was a marginal cockroach for over half a century.
Clearly they're just missing their old stomping grounds.
They're at like 40% approval rating or so. I genuinely don't think the morons that have now flopped on Trump are going to stay that way. They'll get the majority in the next election and their voter base will blame all the ills on the Dems.
Most of the really negative effects haven't hit yet. The stock market crashed in anticipation of what's to come.
Only problem…and I’m asking this genuinely because I’m not attuned to historical politics. What was the approval rating of Democrats back then? Right now it’s abysmal because, aside from some few brave voices, the best they can offer is silence in place of oppression. They’re even confirming some of Trump’s conspiracy-peddling cabinet picks.
