Congratulations Democrats. Now What Do You do?

What possible good can come from a party driven by ten years of raw hatred?

Christopher Knight | November 5, 2026

As I write these words, it is the morning after the election. I have been watching social media go full-tilt wacko from many of my Democratic friends who have been swooning about “the blue tsunami” that swept over the Republicans. Some of them have asked me, with as much a modicum of politeness as they can muster, how much it hurts to watch MAGA go down in flames.

Do these queries evoke a frown? More like a smirk, and not the sort that many liberals might appreciate.

I already believed that Darline Graham would not win the United States Senate race in my adopted home state of South Carolina. The people here are not ones to want a political dynasty, and when Darline was tapped to continue the term made vacant by the death of her brother Lindsay Graham, that is exactly what she became.

Many conscientious conservatives chose to not vote for anyone at all for South Carolina senator. But it’s possible that many more voted for Annie Andrews as a rage-vote against the Republican machine which had been controlled by Lindsay Graham and his loyalists for much too long. It had become a thing ridden with stagnancy. It was time to shake out the tired old blood. Maybe something better will come about now that the Graham faction has been effectively ended.

The race I was more curious about happened across the border in North Carolina, where I lived for most of my life. Roy Cooper........
