#MeToo was created as another "tool" to use to take down Donald Trump. The Dems knew they were going to lose a lot of their own, but they (correctly) knew that their replacements would have been even more #woke than the people they replaced.
They were able to get one scalp: a senate seat that would normally go to a conservative Republican in Alabama. They waited for Roy Moore to get the GOP nomination before they put the hammer on him, allowing Dem Doug Jones into the chamber. On the other hand, Al Franken was replaced with someone who was even more radical than him.
