Things have changed dramatically and WE'RE the majority now, being run roughshod over due to unqualified skeevy people getting into office and staying there thanks to Teabagger gerrymanders after the 2010 election.

Thank goodness we're seeing the end of that shitty era and the beginning of something that I think will be really good.
