EXCERPT--- Trump’s victory was a defeat of their conceit that a progressive was above politics (party machinery's their god), in possession of spotless truth, that the arc of history bent only their way, and for such people there’s no room for compromise and no space for politics.......the progressive thought he’d only muddy himself if he treated opponents with anything more than disdain.
That’s how President Obama conducted himself in office and that’s how many Democrats see Republicans, and that’s why they’re not emotionally able to accept their defeat.
Trump showed progressives that they were self-deceived, that they weren’t in sole possession of the right and the good......and that’s a deep psychic wound.
