A weak President that will likely have to make a lot of compromises, a Senate that will barely be Republican (I think Manchin from WV will actually side with the R’s a little more often), a hamstrung House that might just dump Pelosi, and a verrry close election in the battlegrounds that will be motivated in 22 and 24. The Supreme Court is pretty much set, a helluva lot of Federal Judges have been sat, and a few legislatures are flipped.
There is a shift in African American men and in the Latin American community, the general working class has also shifted.... Except for Harris, I’m pleased.

I'm not too upset either.
Keep in mind it is likely that both GA seats are in runoff, so the Senate could still go wither way.
But I think it'll stay barely GOP.
You can read this as a repudiation of both Trump and the (far) left. Which is the best the country can hope for.

I'm totally fine with divided government, and I'd rather the GOP (likely) have the Senate than the House.
GOP houses are batshit crazy and, in a split government, could easily lead to defaults and other financial calamities while trying to govern from the minority.
GOP Senators are more serious and respond to phone calls from businesses and others with an interest in stability. They'll likely use government shutdowns/debt ceilings as leverage, but responsibly, not extortionately.

Trump isn't gone. Neither is the Far Left.

The problem with the Far left is that they tend to infiltrate the weak minded left.

I am happy too so far. Much opportunity to unite the country and get to rational discussion.
I have observed however social media’s desperation to get me worried about the noise that doesn’t matter. I hope people wake up and see the damage that was done.

If only we had a woman with dark skin as president!
Then all our problems would be solved.
United as one happy country.

She's not even gay. For her to like dick, that's an abomination. Not truly binding to the social contract.
