Now, let is take the Wayback machine to 2009.
OK, let's set our sights on Joe Conservative:
His reaction to obozo's win and subsequent leftward presidency, which included a WHOLE lotta "gimme gimme" and flatout lawbreaking.
Joe's reaction?
"DAMN! Looks like I have to buckle down and do all I can to make sure that Washington DC hears me. I have to work, so it will be after hours, on the Internet. I will join like-minded groups online (the most intelligent joining CC) and start locally. I am pissed that the government has been turned into an agent of evil to try to hurt ME, because I was stupid enough to decide to work hard, avoid unplanned pregnancies and just clock in and out. If I am lucky I will get a Presidential candidate who hates the current patronage system as much as I do. In the meantime, set the alarm and tomorrow is another day."
Liberal reaction to life in 2017:
SCREEEEAAAAMMMM!!!! I am SOOOOO UPSET that my desired outcome didn't HAPPEN!! MOOOMMMYYY!!! I NEED TO SUCKLE WITH YOU AND NOT MY WIFE!!!!!! MOMMMMMMEEEEEYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!
