When the actual election results come out, it'll show there indeed was a red wave. The whole country will be red. This will provide everyone with a subtle but very important shift in perception. This shift will be empowering, and make many realize that they indeed were in the majority - the vast majority. And those that are only on the left because they think it's the popular side, they will promptly shift.
This won't be revealed until we've stewed a while in our fear and anger. They want us pissed off. They want this to hurt a little. They need us to be uncompromising when all the truth starts coming out - after we've been empowered and united by the shocking ACTUAL election results.
They won't be safe walking the streets.
