I lived in Georgia from 2004-2015 and was sure the Republicans would prevail. I’m over the moon 🌝

My family lives in Georgia, in the Augusta, GA and the surrounding counties. I was very pessimistic in November. I was telling my folks in Georgia that “I’m gonna watch your state let us down... again”.

I was checking in to make sure they voted. We needed every soldier.

Now, I am glad to eat those words. I am happily admit that I was wrong.

for me. January 20th will not come too soon. Just is for me like "watch your 6 and the bush... . The Warnock-Ossoff win does help to smooth out the wrinkles I felt-feel from the trumpcrimefamily-McConnell-GOP try at creating a fascist country in the last 4 years...trump needs to go buy a Mickey-d's franchise and eat his fat ass to death.
