At least five — FIVE !!! — Democratic Socialists of America candidates were elected to the U.S. House of Representatives last night. In Georgia, at least two Democratic Socialists of America candidates were elected to serve in the state legislature. And then there was the nation’s wholesale rejection of the Korruption, Kruelty, and inKompetence of maga republicans.
Just a little over 800 years ago, King John had to acquiesce to the opponents of his reign and sign the Manga Carta, so hopefully soon we will see "King" Don have to agree and sign the MAGnAah Charter in RunningNoMore but there is awhile to get his acceptance

Episode summary
Americans did as they were told. Donald Trump asked them to cast their midterm votes as if he were on the ballot. They obliged—and delivered him and his party a drubbing. The Democrats have won majorities in both the House and Senate, making astonishing gains in Republican strongholds along the way.
John Prideaux, The Economist’s executive editor, is joined by a trio of regulars from Checks and Balance, our American-politics podcast, to dissect the Democrats’ extraordinary victory, and consider the tumultuous chapter ahead for Republicans. Where do both parties go from here? Has the Trump era of American politics really come to an end? And, if so, what comes next?

We have just witnessed an affirmation of America values based on our founding documents. The second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence says this:
"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."
Finally, after 10 years, Americans came together to end the Trump era and everything it stands for
TO THE NO KING RALLY, WE WON LAST NIGHT. Now let's impeach Donald J. Trump and convict Trump and family and send to jail.

I love America.

They voted, as Trump told them.
Is this the end of the Trump era?
