I was thinking the same honestly. This House feels so different. So much more energetic and delightful. It genuinely felt good :)
-
And all of those children there—of all different races, religions, backgrounds—were seeing such a great and powerful moment: that people who look like them can grow up and help run the country.

It’s the country we are. We’re not living in “his” America, he’s living in ours.

No, the racist/nativist sentiments Trunp capitalized on have always been an undercurrent at their weakest and forthright and open at their strongest. (Slavery, Jim Crow) We've always just believed we were better than we really were.
-
Those sinister undercurrents have certainly been there for generations, whether we called it the John Birch Society, the Tea Party, or the Party of Trump. Angry white people still walk among us, but I believe they are a minority that has been shrinking since the Civil War.
-
A vocal minority, to be sure. And one that has cheated in every fathomable way to exaggerate and maintain its minority rule. It's clearly a problem. My main point, though, is that they *are* the minority.

The GOP and Fox news are going to come after these women HARD. We need to watch their backs and defend them with the fury of a thousand suns.

If their attacks are anything like that video of AOC dancing her heart out, then they can keep bringing attacks like that all day.

Everyone seemed so positive and happy. Everytime we see Republicans that happy and joyful, it was because they had just finished fucking us over by taking away our health care or passing that bullshit tax cut.

No, it is a glimpse of the country we can become and it is because of the hard work of a lot of women.

Indeed. Today is the closest I've ever felt to seeing a Congress that actually reflects me, the diversity of our country, and where I'd like us to head. I sincerely can't imagine thinking everything in the US was great until 2016.
