I think this may very well be a good thing. Although NOT a registered Republican, I was looking forward to something of a "red wave" this time (not MAGA red, though) as a counterbalance toward what I see as some significant and even possibly ruinous policies of the Biden/Harris combo. All that said, a situation where the two sides of Congress are split can mean gridlock. It could also mean - and here's the optimistic part - a return to some more normal and needed political horse-trading. Out of necessity. The result of this and just the Dems keeping the Senate ought to almost by definition diminish the MAGA element in the Republican Party, marginalize Trump little-by-little, and force the furthest-left Democrats (who I see as EVEN more Fascist than the MAGAs, which I realize is a bit of a bold statement) a little more to center. I am cautiously optimistic.
