Yep , colonialists would usually elevate a minority to overthrow the previous rulers . Then the minority and new ruler start out by getting revenge on their previous oppressors , thus becoming oppressors themselves . But the minority would not be powerful enough to maintain control for long and so would be supported by the colonialists who would extract concessions in exchange for maintaining the minority rulers . <| sep |> right makes sense . I think there will be people holding it for the payout though right ? <| sep |> Can you elaborate ? In ignant <| sep |> Yeah , that ' s more or less how I see it . Losing one or two currently held senate seats would be a pretty good outcome for democrats because of the map . I guess the silver lining is , if democrats do get on track for that third pickup in somewhere like Texas or Tennessee , they probably have a good shot of holding onto their current seats too .
