The Democrat vibe under Obamna was that there would never be another Republican again. That's how cocky they were going into 2016. They were relishing the end of history, again.

I think one of the things that is going to rewrite Obama's history among liberals is they truly believed that Obama was the apotheosis. They were finally done, they found the point of maximal compromise in the modern age, electing the first Black Moderate Republican President, and for their trouble they were gonna reap only rewards from here on in.
