Alabma

Alabama, where democrats never win. Alabama, where the Republicans played all their usual games: scare tactics, hate speech, lies, gerrymandering, voter suppression. The Alabama Supreme Court even ruled against a motion to preserve the voting records in case there needed to be a recount. It’s Alabama, about the most backwards, red state that there is, where 650,436 people thought it was in their best interests to vote for a pedophile, not to mention probably the most stupid, outdated, wrong thinking moron there is, next to the president. 
You have to have faith in people. I know that’s hard, but in the end, most people will do the right thing(even by a small margin, but again, we’re talking about Alabama here). The country will right itself, little by little. That doesn’t mean sit back and take it easy though, it means work even harder and build on this victory. Keep the anger burning and keep pressuring those in power, keep working to get people to understand what’s at stake and to get out and vote. Keep doing whatever it takes to hold these horrible people in power in check until we take the country back from those looking to pervert and destroy it. 
The point is, Alabama still managed to overcome all the odds and do something pretty amazing. They rebuked the Republican party and their message, they rebuked the president, they rebuked a century of tradition. Alabama. 
Now the rest of us have no excuse.
