(81,125 posts)I think some of it is basic psychology. Nobody wants to admit they were wrong, much less that they've been royally had. Especially when it means they have to face the reality that the hated "libruls" and science fans and fact-lovers and eager readers and researchers they live to resent were actually right. Actually we liberals ARE the ones who got it right, called it right, and nailed it right ... to the wall, thankyouverymuch.
And if they wanna stay home and pout on Election Day? GOOD! One less trump voter! A friend of mine who reviles Democrats because we're all "baby-killers" simply cannot bring herself to vote for Joe Biden this fall, although she won't be voting for the donald again. She didn't like Hillary because who-the-fuck-knows-why. My friend said she's voting for the Libertarian candidate in November. Okay, fine. That, too, is one less vote for trump. I'll take it.
