Thread in progress that makes an excellent point: Far Left Progressives thought they had ALREADY WON. And I mean already won *permanently*.
After Obama won in 2008 there were numerous articles/books about the New Permanent Democratic
James Carville among others were crowing "The DemuhKRATS are gunna beah in POWAH faw FAWTY YEAHS!"
Obama easily beating Romney in 2012 only entrenched this notion.
Republican gains in the House in 2010/12/14, hey just minor setbacks, soon to be corrected!
The arrogant triumphalism on the part of the Progressives was insufferable in 2008 and by 2012 it was even worse.
Republicans had a dying party, I was told. Democratic Presidents & an activist judiciary would keep that GOP house in line until 'common sense' prevailed.
This is why 2 years later, Progressives are still throwing tantrums and refusing to accept what happened.
They truly believed what they were told, that it was all over and they had won.
You're watching people go through an existential crisis.
Control of the Executive branch and control of the Judicial branch were key essentials to enacting and then enforcing a large part of the Progressive agenda for America.
And they'd won, you see. The redneck bitter clingers out there couldn't stop the coming transformation.

18) When you think you\u2019re in a liberal paradise and you wake up to an army of conservatives running the government, its very easy for them to think \u201cSuddenly, Nazis... EVERYWHERE.\u201d They\u2019ve fooled themselves into thinking conservatives had died out, that there were hardly any left
