Why aren't Trump and the election deniers screaming? Because ...
So far, neither Trump nor the vast network of election deniers, some
in positions of power regarding elections, have been screaming foul
regarding these historic results resulting in the biggest Democratic
gains in at least half a century. Trump says he'll be "Mr. Veto" but
also that he accepts the results and wants to work with Democrats.
I believe the reason is obvious. It was just TOO big, and involved so
many red states that had voted massively for Trump. To call into
question those states would be almost impossible. Kansas elected a Dem
senator for the first time since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
Now the trick will be for Democrats to not screw up. Wasting time on
doomed impeachment efforts would be disastrous. People voted in Dems
with the issue #1 being the economy. And Trump is still president,
meaning he can still block legislation. If the new Congress is all about
doomed far left efforts or endless investigations (though clearly some
investigations are absolutely necessary now) people will sour on the
Dems before two years have passed and we reach the next presidential
election.
So it's going to be quite the balancing act.
We shall see.
