I spend time sharing fark memes in Democratic friendly social media groups.
It is always nice when I see a group start to find them before I do.
Rural PA is turning blue and eventually the dinosaurs will be extinct.
But it is important to confront them.
And more so to defeat them.

I expect the GOP to react by shooting the required number of Democrats to regain the majority.  Seriously.  It's that bad here.

What did you expect to happen? Biden schedules a speech on the exact same voting day (on every channel) to keep well informed Americans glued to their TV so they won't go to the polls, while his cronies bus in illegal immigrants to vote. It's not a co incidence

Pa. voters voted for Fetterman ,Shapiro and after a very long time of Republican majorities in the legislature ,they have said they want something better by giving the Democrats the majority.

Unfortunately Shapiro is screwing the voters over so much that the Pa. Freedom Caucus was on the Sunday shows this week talking about how great Shapiro is.

The voters have said they are sick of corporate tax cuts and hand outs and Shapiro puts his fingers in his ears .
Republicans will get the state back with this stupidity.

Funny because in red state legislatures the new trend is to impose a very strict corporate dress code on the women.

This pushes us back another notch from a disastrous second constitutional convention.  Good news for sure.

Plus, on a personal note, I won't have to hear constantly hear about CRT bans, whining about drag queens, insane abortion laws at the state level for at least a few years.

This was the night they were going to heckle and play to a cameras, while their co-workers rolled their eyes. It was nothing but theater to them. These are folks without a modicum of dignity or awareness. It's all about them. Even the SOTU, it's about them.

And in a sane world, their parents would have raised them right and they'd be nowhere near Congress, instead living lives of service fit to their talents.

Low hanging bait. The SOTU was after the polls closed AND the seats had been held by Dems before this election.

Yay! It does the heart some good to see Pa return to its solid Dem roots. Fetterman, Shapiro, now this. Maybe America  via Pa. can be pulled from the brink that was Mastriano, Oz, crazy ass Pa GQP legislature.

I think it's a rebuilding period, they need a stronger draft but are probably looking at a LOT of freed up salary cap space soon.

If Biden were half as competent at packing elections as you think he was MTG and Santos would have been bounced from the house and that nutless wonder Qevin would have a shiattier office

The PA house speakership is still up for grabs.  The current interim compromise speaker will have to vote against himself to be removed.

And the thing is, she and Sinema picked out their outfits and said to themselves, "YAS! THAT'S gonna sell my bonafides as a serious legislator! B*tches going to be all up in my DMs and sending those sweet contributions to my election fund!"
