Barack Obama did something terrible to liberals. He made them believe that they transcended politics. Then, when they lost the political battle of 2016, they had no mental equipment with which to cope with it except RESIST.

Obama gave us all hope; and left us with nothing... not even hope.
Obama the most corrupt, secretive, lawless presidency and regime and admin in history of USA...

Nice.
Similiter: Progressives think their theories of justice are the laws of a God in whom they tend not to believe. They are unwitting idolaters.
@mark_bauerlein
That's exactly what demagogues do, make it about themselves. Unfortunately, the current president doesn't seem to be much better at it. Some would argue worse. American politics have been well and truly transcended.
@mark_bauerlein
This is so true. They thought it was over. Just mop up work on deck and smooth sailing from here on out. Then they discovered that the people they had grown accustomed to hold beneath contempt still had fight in them. They are still reeling.
@mark_bauerlein
They should have been prepared. They lost 4,000 seats in state legislatures, a super majority in the Senate and the majority in the House during the Obama years.
@mark_bauerlein
That they were the only "good" people in America...and they still believe it. Resist what, exactly? Those deplorables, of which I realized meant me. I voted for Obama twice, btw.
@mark_bauerlein
They chose to ignore and adore! Their juvenile, self absorbing, self adoration has had serious negative consequences on the lives of so many good Americans! Ask the Covington Boys!
