If the democrats lose, I am going to invest in whoever makes ear plugs or tylenol, or both. I expect them to make gains but not win control. I expect them to froth at the mouth. I expect them to blame China, Russia and Baby Jesus. I expect them to be insufferably more arrogant than they already are because there is nothing like losing that makes them feel superior for some reason. Dunno. Guess their daddy didn't love them enough or something.

Depends how the voting plays out. Remember that we've had multiple elections where more people voted for Democratic candidates in House elections, yet Republicans won the majority of seats, thanks to shameless gerrymandering. It's possible for something similar to happen in the Senate, where more people vote for Democratic candidates, but because of the way senate representation is radically tilted towards small states, that still shows up as a Republican gain.
So, whether a scenario like you're talking about looks like a lamentable quirk of our voting system, or instead a rejection by the people, will depend a lot on how that plays out.
How about you? If the Democrats take the House or gains in the Senate, what will you surmise from those results?

Typical dishonest leftist hack. Never actually answer a question then ask a question.
Answer this hack; do Democrats engage in gerrymandering? It's a yes or no.

I hate the damn left-wing Liberals. There is a vast left-wing conspiracy in this country & these liberals are working together to attack every decent & honorable institution in the Nation, trying to turn the country into a communist state.
Who I wanted to kill was every Democrat in the Senate & House, the 100 people in Bernard Goldberg’s book. I’d like to kill everyone in the Mainstream Media. But I know these people were inaccessible to me. I couldn’t get to the generals & high ranking officers of the Marxist movement so I went after the foot soldiers, the chicken shit liberals that vote in these traitorous people.
Liberals are a pest, like termites. Millions of them. Each little bite contributes to the downfall of this great nation. The only way we can rid ourselves of this evil is kill them in the streets. Kill them where they gather.
I’d like to encourage other like minded people to do what I’ve done. If life ain’t worth living anymore, don’t just kill yourself. Do something for your country before you go. Go Kill Liberals!
Kill all Christians, Muslims and Jews. You call it terrorism. I call it Patriotism!
James Alex Fields Jr was charged with second-degree murder, one count of hit-and-run, failure to stop with injury and three counts of malicious wounding. Fields is registered as member of Trump's Republican Party.
Republican Congressman Ken Buck:
“We’re at a time in American politics, that I am not going to lie on behalf of my presidential candidate, on behalf of my party. And I’m very sad that others in my party have taken the position that, as long as we get the White House, it doesn’t really matter what we say,”
They draw districts with somewhat more relationship with natural population distribution, and thus get less of a boost from gerrymandering.
Compare 2010 and 2006, for example. Each was a mid-term. In 2010, the Republicans had way more control of state governments and thus dominated the redistricting process. In 2006, the Democrats controlled more state governments and thus exercised more control in redistricting:

In 2010, when they controlled most redistricting, the Republicans got 51.7% of the votes and 55.6% of seats. In 2006, Democrats got 52.3% of the votes and 53.6% of the seats. Republicans out-performed their popular vote, when redistricting was mostly in their hands, by 3.9 points, whereas Democrats out-performed their popular vote, when they mostly controlled redistricting, by 1.3 points. So, Republicans had about three times the relative boost from dominating redistricting.
