Donald Trump has been elected the 47th president of the United States, an extraordinary comeback for a former president who refused to accept defeat four years ago, sparked a violent insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, was convicted of felony charges and survived two assassination attempts.

Democrats will learn nothing from this.

Id go so far as to say they're paid good money to explicitly not learn from this.

Democrats are learning in real time what the real function of a controlled opposition party is in a capitalist dictatorship.

As if that wasn't already known.

Well I guess the good news is that it no longer matters if they learn anything? These election results make it clear that going forward they'll have about as much effect on lawmaking as a dead hamster. It's even possible that, except for serving as a convenient cardboard bogeyman, they'll otherwise cease to exist at all.
