The Koch Brothers bought these elections. Now, we get to see what they do with their new found powers.
The politics of anti-government rage, fueled by dark money negative
ads emerged victorious on Tuesday, as the Republican Party won a U.S.
Senate majority and re-elected right-wing governors despite Democrat and
progressive organizations' determined efforts to turn out their base.
While there were some bright spots for progressives, such as minimum
wage increases passing in Nebraska and Arkansas, and legalizing
recreational marijuana in Oregon and in Washington DC, the national
political landscape has taken a hard turn to the right. Differing
Republican Party factions have been empowered in ways that will resonate
well into the 2016 presidential election—from anti-regulatory
corporatists taking control in Congress to union-bashing, anti-choice,
anti-voting rights governors dominating their states.
