Watch Stephen Colbert process his feelings in real time as he delivers a new monologue written in the wake of the President's sad, frightening remarks in the White House briefing room. #Colbert #Monologue #LSSC

      They are afraid of the Trump base and are probably thinking forward to the 2022 mid-terms and want to keep those seats as it looks like they will regain their majority in the Senate this time and are hoping to flip Congress and they will do it by blocking Joe's agenda and then blame Joe for not getting anything done. If that sounds familiar it's because Republicans in the Senate did the same thing with Obama.
      We could be facing a global economic meltdown soon and Joe will have to inherit that as Obama did and if Democrats are blocked because the Senate won't pass anything that anger will arise once again and there will be a Trump 2.0 waiting in the wings to run as the GOP candidate for 2024 and he or she could be worse than Trump.
      You think those Trump supporters will go away quietly? No they won't. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that base will be up for grabs on the right and this where a Trump 2.0 could emerge and make Trump look pale in comparison.
      If Biden ignores the working class, young people and does not fix what went wrong with him losing support among blacks and Hispanics and Latinos then the danger is a Trump 2.0 could win the
      White House in 2024.
      I have no confidence in Biden even acknowledging what the Dems did wrong this time and why that landslide victory never came to pass and why the blue wave that would supposed to sweep the country never came to pass either. Remember Dems wouldn't even do an autopsy report of what went wrong in
      2024 and instead blamed Russia, Jill Stein and Bernie for Hillary losing.

These people are not preaching what I believe. I don't agree with how a lot democrats go about issues. But voting for the current republican party is straight up not right. What happened to us being the party of decorum and civility. I swear watching debates looks exactly like teenage girls fighting over latest trend. This isn't right.

      Thank you so much!!! Y’all be safe up there. I’m so happy that this tyrant is losing!!! This was my first time voting Blue. I grew up in a very racist state. I broke away from the right years ago. It truly is heartbreaking what’s been going on for years. All I have seen from his time as “president “ is hate, fear, lies, and division.
      We need to get the United States of America...United once again. I’m damn proud my home state (Arizona) turned blue!!!!
      We also are sending love to your country as well Jessi. Thank you again for your beautiful message:)

    Coming back to this today. It is amazing to reflect on how poorly the Republican Party at all levels, from Congress to the rank & file, failed to act at any point then or since in the best interests of the United States. Failing to live up to the ideals of the Founding Fathers and a Constitution they so love to quote.

    What you call freedom is just selfishness, greed, bigotry, and irresponsibility.

      I wish we had proper freedom. Not Anarchy, nor entitlement to things we didn't earn, but a structured, respectable, and decent democracy that adapts to modernization, with focus on the country as a whole, not just the top 1%.
      I wish, hope, and pray that we can achieve that. Preferably sooner than later...
