They couldn't have been that empty considering the popular vote, all seven swing states, gains in every blue city, the majority of the supreme court, the majority of governors, the Senate majority, the house majority, and a partridge in a pear tree.
Not bad considering we elected a literal jigaboo this time (multiple baby mamas, shot in the face, a bunch of felony convictions, getting into a turf war exactly four years ago today, dark complexion, a love for fast food and combat sports, constantly bragging about his wealth, unlikable personality, etc)
They ran a literal DUMPSTER FIRE against the Democrats. And not only did the Republicans eat, they didn't even pass the fucking salt.
