It was, by any historical standard, a blue wave. Democrats look like they’re going to pick up around 38 House seats, which would be the third-biggest gain by any party in 40 years (after Republicans in 2010 and 1994). The Senate moved in the opposite direction, but not by much, and it was a very difficult map for Democrats anyway.
Seems like the Trump-bots were counting their chickens before they finished counting their votes. This is not even considering the gains at the state and local levels.
The Blue Wave™ happened!
