U.S. HOUSE - Democracy Takes the Helm

COMMENT:  OK, I am a progressive (small 'p') but I was a Registered Republican in 2000.  The GOP has become the enablers of a dictator-want-to-be Trump and his destine for rule-of-law, our Constitution, and long held American values including not speaking hard against Nazi and White Supremacists.

So, yes, I see the Democratic Party taking the House as a real move FOR democracy.
