All of those lib talking heads are living in a dream world. They think if they push the talking points long and loud enough it will all come true. They lie to their image in the mirror every morning just to get through the day. It is sad to see them lie on TV
All the more reason why reality comes as such a shock to them, when it hits. Most of them are living in a left-liberal echo chamber, and really don't see that their side is falling hard and fast.
Those libs that do see the handwriting on the wall, are doing just what you said - they're repeating the Dem talking points like some sort of mystic chant, just hoping that somehow it'll all come true.
