As much I hate the GOP, I hate the DNC infinitely more. Two years could really accelerated DNC hegemony. I understand accelerationism, but we need more time. We need to push this back two decades or more.... This is not enough time for folks to wake up.

Nothing would have changed regardless, Loeffler and Purdue are not even fake populists like Hawley or Ted Cruz and would have gladly gave bipartisan support to much of Biden's agenda. Plus Biden can do a lot of damage regardless of control of the Senate through his executive power.

It would have stopped the DNC from going buck wild. Gridlock is good thing.

Wild in what regard? They only have a 50 seat tie + VP, which is weakened itself by their own centrist faction with at least Manchin making it only 49. I don't doubt it will be worse than under Trump but I don't think they'll be able to go full AOC with such a weak "majority". And Biden probably would have done his more wild policies through executive order anyway if there was a gridlock, things like DACA/illegal amnesty, gun control, censorship and "cracking down on white nationalism".

Hear me now and believe me later.

He's right though. You need to realize that this is good for us in the long term.

No. Immediate DNC and far left hegemony is not a good thing.
