“There was plenty of talk of a so-called ‘red wave’ ahead of the midterms, but as it turns out, it wasn’t as bad as the people who make money off of fear wanted us to fear it would be. Tuesday’s results are a crisp nut-punch to Republican optimism leading up into this election. Look how confident Republicans were before the election with Donald Trump Jr. tweeting that it was going to be a ‘bloodbath!’ of Republican victories. That did not age well. Reminds me of what General Custer tweeted just before Little Bighorn: ‘This is gonna be awesome. Ow, I just got shot in the head.’” —Stephen Colbert
“While the GOP did make modest gains, the massive victory they predicted never materialized, prompting headlines such as Times’s ‘The red wave was more like a pink splash.’ Yes, a pink splash! It was a salmon drizzle, a rosy wash. It’s like what happens when you accidentally wash your Klan robes with your Maga hat – just a little pink wash.” —Stephen Colbert

and Orwell’s 1984.”
