“A drowning man fights hardest just before he goes under for the last time...”
It’s going to be a wild ride from now until the midterms.
Liberals aren’t going away, but the late 1960s officially ended with the election of Trump. These recounts and “Russians” are simply news to keep their base all riled up and interested. Once Trump is formally elected by the Electoral College, these stories will go pretty much ignored by all except the Liberal base of the Democratic Party (assuming that they’re false stories about the Russians ... and I’m fairly confident that they’re crap).
Trump can literally break the Liberal wing of the Democratic Party if he does a good job from now until the 2018 midterms. While it’s a longshot (but realistic) goal, sweeping the Senate seats up for grabs in the solid red states + maybe picking up a seat or three in the “new” red states will cripple the Democrats. Donors will start to dump Liberals as they’ll be seen as nothing more than the toxic slime that they are.
The nasty side effect of such a victory could be a merging of the “not-really-that-liberal” wing of the Democrats with RINOs, but the plus side of that is an indication that the nation is swinging to the right as well as steering the Republican party more towards the conservatives. Liberals would be isolated to the northeast, west coast, and Illinois.
While it’s foolish to proclaim the Democrats “done for”, there’s a *really* good chance Trump could neutralize the power held by the idiotic liberals we’ve got to know and love over the past several decades. All he has to do is do a good job :-).
