I, for one, am deeply disappointed. Saddened, even. For all the talk of you Americans saving up expensive booze to mark the occasion of Trump’s humiliating defeat, there is WAY too much sobriety in this thread. I’ll raise a toast as soon as the liquor store opens. Congratulations! ---

I’ve been trying to have one drink for every Senate seat flipped, but I’m finding it hard to keep up! 🤣 ---

I just poured a little Johnny Walker Blue in celebration. I only planned on drinking it if we took both the House and the Senate. ---

> [@Smapti](#): > > I’d just like to say to all the doomers who spent the end of 2024 and most of 2025 telling me that American democracy was over for good, that Trump would “declare an emergency” or “cancel the election” or “send the military to seize ballots” or deploy hundreds of thousands of ICE goons into voting booths to intimidate people into voting for Republicans, and the Supreme Court would stand by and declare that Trump gets to be dictator for life, and that the thousand-year-reich of God-Emperor Trump was inevitable and invincible; > > I was right and you were wrong, neener neener neener. I’ve never been so happy to be wrong about something in my life! I think Trump may yet start bitching about how the election was rigged but at least there was no violence and no political suppression. Being a dictator must be a lot of work and Trump is only interested in it for brief periods of time, until it starts demanding sustained effort. But the people who believe in democracy never got tired of sustaining their efforts and for that I am proud of them. ---

> [@ThelmaLou](#): > > So here’s to you, Donald Trump, you MF, criminal bastard. Plenty of the damage that you’ve done can never be undone. Some of it can be, but not in my lifetime. I would call you a useless piece of garbage except that some utility has come out of your destructiveness, because it looks like you woke some people up. Yeah, woke. Now go fuck yourself. No one but you could have snapped Texas blue so quickly. Thank you, orange idiot. > [@scudsucker](#): > > For all the talk of you Americans saving up expensive booze to mark the occasion of Trump’s humiliating defeat, there is WAY too much sobriety in this thread. I’m imbibing expensive-ish beer (El Chingon, motherfucker!) and cheap, but delicious whiskey (Mellow Corn, $17 per 750ml) tonight. I might have my first real hangover in decades tomorrow. Jesus Titty-fucking Christ, I haven’t been happier to be a Texan in motherfucking decades! ---
