I guess even republicans have a line

it'll be depressing to list all the things that do not cross that line tbh

I'm glad pedophilia at least does

I hope voters don't forget for a while that the GOP happily promoted this guy

no they don't

black people on the other hand

i'm sorry black people have to keep saving themselves (and by extension us) from our white bullshit

Destroy White people

Yeah i was gonna say - black voter turnout had a lot more to do with it, from what I can tell.

white turnout collapsed, mostly

easier for people to not vote than cross lines

us melanated folks saving the country again

You're like superheroes

It's not the republicans made the right choice, so much as just enough of them failed to make a proper choice when faced with this.

thank you, black voters of Alabama

(and it looks like the Republicans' line is not "vote for the other guy", but "stay home")

(which, eh, it's something : / )

I was at a multigenerational holiday party when the election was called, and one of my mother's friends exclaimed over the hubbub of chatting, "Aah! I just have to say this, Doug Jones won in Alabama!"

and the room exploded into shouts of joy

everybody from the sixty-somethings to the confused-but-game toddlers was grinning at each other

sooo, that felt good? XD;;
