I recall election 2008.
Immediately after the election in November the Republicans kowtowed to the aging 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brats and their ideological litters:
After election day 2008 the Dems demanded that the Republicans stand aside immediately and not wait for the new Congress in January. The Republicans quickly moved out of "President-elect" Obama's and Reid's and Pelosi's way.
A cursory search found no references but I remember "President-elect" Obama and Dems getting the Republicans to stand aside.
In fact I believe Obama and Dems took over FY2009 legislation in November 2008 and Obama finished signing it all into law in April, 2009.
McConnell and the others will meekly watch the aging 1960s Marxist-Alinsky campus radical, psycho spoiled brat occupiers and their ideological litters wreak havoc on what remains of our Republic. They won't do a damn thing until January if at all. That's another form of bipartisanship, I guess.
Remember how the employees of the MSM considered "President-elect" Obama as THE president immediately after election day November 2008?
