Actually the House was pretty good compared to what usually happens during midterms

true

52-48 in 2010, 53-45 in 2018

in terms of popular vote

Democrats didn't capture as many seats because the districts have been heavily gerrymandered

so even when the maps were drawn for them to lose, they still captured a majority

Although it was nowhere near a wave for both sides

I don't know what the Dems are bragging out, nothing much happened

Democrats picked up 40 seats in 2018 to Republican's gain of 63 seats in 2010... despite winning the popular vote by a larger margin

Let them be happy though, 2020 they'll shit their pants just like they did in 2016

So sure, yeah, it might have been underwhelming, but largely because the maps have been drawn for that to happen.

Here we find the rare and exotic species, Idiotus Libtardus, in its natural habitat.

Hmm

I don’t really care who wins, Trump hasn’t done anything too bad

And some things were beneficial. He isn’t the worst president out there

See even the liberal Australian agrees

I’m not liberal 😂

hmm...

I share beliefs with them, sure

But I’m not exactly a liberal

Oh christ, wrong GIF but I guess that works

@Snow If you lived in the US, you'd definitely be a Dem

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe not in Australia, everyone there is a Dem

Not exactly

My mum definitely isn’t a dem

there's been a conservative government in power for many years

My brother is just a bigot xD

Everyone is wrong unless it’s him

Your Mom sounds pretty cool, invite them over. And I think the Australian Conservative party was only founded in like 2016 lol

The Liberal Party, which is Australia's conservative party (their labels are flipped), has been around since the 40s

Not only that, but it's more right leaning centrist than badass conservative level like us

and the Liberal-led government, I think I saw recently, proposed halting all migrant arrivals?

and they keep migrants detained in a Gitmo-style camp

My mum is meh

I do not think trump needs to build a wall.

She doesn’t understand boundaries and she gets upset easily
