On another topic, I am hoping as the final votes come in the Democrats can limit some of their losses. They only have like a 10-15% chance to take the house now, but if they can keep the house difference to 1-5 seats, and the Senate difference to 2 seats it'll be a lot harder for Trump to do the dictatorial stuff and much of Project 2025 until the mid-terms, when there almost certainly will be some sort of backlash and where low-information voters are less likely to vote.
Hopefully Casey can win PA as the vote filters in and after a recount to keep the Senate 52-48 and some of the California swing house seats remain Democratic or flip toward them on net.
A 52-48 Senate would be ideal given that Lisa Murkowski and Susan Collins only vote with MAGA 70% of the time and are most likely to disagree on fundamental constitutional matters like elections, presidential powers and constitutional rights. Without Manchin and Romney it will be harder for them of course though.
With a 53-47 Senate, we're looking at conservatives as conservative as Lindsay Graham and Mitch McConnell as the "swing voters." VoteView
Trump Term 2 is going to be a lot worse than Term 1 regardless. If he can do what he says he wants to do, I wouldn't be surprised if we enter another Great Recession or Depression level event given that we are overdue for a real recession (Covid doesn't count) and many of the safe-guards that ended late-19th century/early-20th century Depressions are on the chopping block.
