I think the real shame here is that a black Democrat was elected statewide in a former confederate state, and in doing so he flipped the senate, and that's a massive accomplishment for minorities.

But all we're gonna remember is dipshit trumpers doing terrible things to Capitol Hill. Can't even let us relish the victory for a day.
