Hey Republicans, just checking in — hate and misogyny had a pretty tough night, y’all ok?
Just kidding. I don’t give a fuck.
In fact, I’m celebrating.
Ya lost and ya lost big.
Better buckle up cuz we are just getting started.
There’s no overstating this — last night was a very, very bad night for Republicans and a very, very good night for America.
There were absolutely massive wins in elections all over this country yesterday. MASSIVE.
Up and down the ballot
Ohio.
Virginia.
Kentucky.
New Jersey.
Pennsylvania.
A message was delivered to the party of Donald Trump last night.
And the message was this:
Fuck off!
Let’s start with Ohio Ohio Ohio!!!!!
Issue one prevailed!!!!
Ohio will now enshrine abortion rights in their state’s Constitution!! Essentially — restoring Roe in a VERY red state. This is seriously friggin huge!!! Not only did they manage to win, they did so despite all of the roadblocks the fuckers in their state GOP put up along the way, because THEY knew their constituents wanted this.
Ohio Republicans did everything they could to stop the amendment establishing a Constitutional right to abortion in their state.
They tried to change the threshold for passing amendments to 60% instead of a simply majority in a special August election.
It didn’t work.
They spread disinformation on the official Senate website.
That didn’t work.
Their angry Elf Governor & Secretary of State went on tv shows to fear monger & manufacture truth.
That didn’t work either.
They played games with the wording on the ballot to confuse voters into thinking it was more extreme than it actually was.
And that clearly didn’t work.
In the end, Ohioans did what the GOP in their state feared they would do — they reclaimed their rights by telling the government to get the fuck out of their healthcare decisions.
And they won.
Despite employing every desperate, undemocratic tactic in the book, Republicans lost, and the people won.
Democracy ain’t dead.
It’s alive and kicking.
It just has to kick harder these days.
And Ohio sure does have one helluva kick.
Let Ohio be yet another lesson to all of you supposedly “pro-life” Republicans — do not Fuck with the rights of American women.
Because we will not have any of it.
Andy Beshear won in Kentucky and my NJ Dems kept our legislature blue.
In Pennsylvania they kicked moms for liberty off of their school boards and kept election denier off of their supreme court. (Just think about that one… I mean, chills right?)
Moms for “Liberty” had a very, very bad night, and now they should go the fuck away. They can go back to their pricey blow-out bars and berating their nannies for pronouncing the “r” in their toddler’s morning croissant. They have no business in decisions impacting the education of children.
And if you know who Paul Martino is, than you know that he spent $600,000 in PA to walk away a great, big, loser.
He couldn’t even get his own wife over the finish line. Probably not the first time he’s failed to help her finish strong, but I digress.
