I think what is driving the tears is Trump is fulfilling his campaign promises even before he takes office. Clinton and Obama never fulfilled their promises.
This means that if Trump can bring jobs back and Make America Great Again, no one will listen to their rants that Trump is a Nazi racist monster. Without name calling to sway the people, Liberals have nothing to say. and it gets worse. There is no new West Wing on TV.
Liberals are about to be marginalized as people will no longer believe them. All that blocking of traffic didn't earn a single vote.
People with good jobs no longer need Liberals.
