I've been seeing the same post every time Republicans get a big victory. The Iraq invasion, the 2004 and 2016 elections...

This what they mean by the moral arc of the universe is long.

This is exactly the outcome that everyone knew was going to happen. If anything, Senators Burr & Cassidy were a welcome surprise.

You can be disappointed in your country and still have a country. Shit, it's practically a way of life around here
