Politics: 2020 US House of Representatives Results

Well, I will be doing some posts on the results of the House election results from last year that will talk more about their role in the storming of the capitol, but for now, I will focus loosely on just the results from the election in question and also talk some more about other parts of this world with a grand post for later that will hopefully come at some point. Let’s go with the results at first, their disappointing meaning, and how this country is worse. Yet despite this, we could have had things wind up even more badly than this.

Ultimately, while 3 seats flipped from Republican to Democratic, the one Libertarian seat went back to a Republican where it used to be, and there was a net gain of 14 seats for Republicans. Thankfully, it was not enough for them to reclaim majority, but it was enough to prevent a blue wave, despite what you might have heard elsewhere about it.

What’s bad is that some of the people who just won reelection wanted to support the frivolous post election lawsuit of Texas versus Pennsylvania. The fact that the lawsuit had zero chance of succeeding means nothing as it will show you the lengths that Republicans will go to in order to prevent people from winning. Plus, they can’t change the rules of an election only after it had happened in the end.

I’ll have to talk more about the sedition caucus as they have been come to be known by some of us in another post. But many people did want Trump to win in many ways that just weren’t as good or even legal as they could be.

Now the next link is only red because it was in a word pad document for a while. If clicking on this link does not work for you, then try copying and pasting it instead. You should know that a whole lot of the reasons why it is sad that the push to get rid of universal health care is still here during a pandemic and this is why we should never believe that they care about health care.

Of course, then we don’t know of how much things will change now that one of the longest and most influential Congressmen is out of office with people trying to claim that they care about the late John Lewis, but not going about this the right way.

It is good that after the insurrection of the storming of the capitol, that enough Republicans stuck to their guns and didn’t vote to overturn the election results, but everyone that did should have known better. Some only did this due to worrying about what would happen if they didn’t.

Plus, it seemed like one of them wanted to get people killed or just didn’t think that they were doing much danger by what they felt was just repeating what the news had said. But there is a reason that people want to get rid of a few of the new members and it isn’t cancel culture. It is the fact that they could be breaking the law.

During a pandemic, one should just care for others by doing something as simple as wearing a mask on their face. But Republicans don’t care that they are getting infected at a high rate. They still want to spread the virus to others. Now, for the first time ever, I know of Democrats who got covid19. And it was entirely Republicans fault.

The results of the House races last year were disappointing, but not nearly as bad as it could have been. If we didn’t have a trifecta, then we wouldn’t have coronavirus relief now. I can only hope that things go better after redistricting, but I have no idea what could happen there just yet at the moment.
