Takes for the Takes God:

Posted by Reagen Jan 6 '21, 05:13

Infiniting the call that Stacey Abrams gets to call her shot for whatever she wants.

But: this result should not have been that shocking -Biden win the state after all, and Republicans have struggled when Trump isn't on the ballot. This is why I'm not inherently pessimistic about 2022. There's half of the Republicans that are going to get crazier, half that are going to try to get more normal. Someone's going to try to whip up Tea Party 2, which could potentially work but could be mitigated if Dems actually do an Economic Populism (the cheques are a good start). Obama's mistake was assuming that people would be reasonable. Biden seems unlikely to repeat that. The big thing is that Biden gets his cabinet and judges now though. The latter bit they need to get done toot fucking sweet.

There should be a relief bill in Congress for COVID (with state funding) ASAP. - Inigo Jan 6, 05:29
I do think it splinters the Republican party for the simple fact that Trump will ask his monkeys to dance for him over and over again... - Inigo Jan 6, 05:17 7
- I'm not sure he'll live long enough, or be healthy long enough, or be out of legal trouble long enough, to make a big difference. -- nm - mara Jan 6, 06:49

- I don't think there'll be a formal party split - the structure of the system lends towards consolidation. But a decent part of the wins last night - Reagen Jan 6, 05:20 3
  - Lol. I think they just mean "become like the Democrats" -- nm - con_carne Jan 6, 06:43
  - Oh, I'm not saying it'll be formal, but the party will be obviously divided at some point before 2022. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 05:26 1

I’m looking at you, Breyer. -- nm - mafic Jan 6, 05:15 1
- Yup, he'll have to get replaced, but the federal judges will be just as important, imo. -- nm - Inigo Jan 6, 05:18
