The party of the oligarchy thought it had a right to rule forever.

Ever since the rise of Barack Obama, Democrats have seen themselves as destined to rule. With his presidential victory in 2008, they created a seemingly unbridgeable political empire. With the support of big cities, young progressives, universities, the media and an ever-expanding government workforce, the party – led by what Roger Kimball calls ‘the Syndicate’ – imagined it could stay in power indefinitely.

Well, let's just see how the next 4 years turn out. Frankly Trump's last 4 years didn't exactly inspire victory either.

This piece had far more to do with the Democrat oligarchy than Donald Trump.

Because the Rat empire is based on fictions, rhetoric, deception, deflection, gaming the system, and trying to destroy their enemies with lawfare. They abandoned all pretense of being for anything but despotic rule by their little intersectional clique long ago.

Many organizations implode when they become too inwardly focused.  The Dems are too busy congratulating themselves for saving Mother Gaia to pay attention to the American People.
