The Resistance people and their friends squandered a massive, historic amount of goodwill that justly came about after Trump's first win. We will never see anything like that kind of righteous political anger ever again. Yet they have almost nothing positive to show for it after nearly a decade's worth of work, and every time someone says anything about a "vibe shift," they are reminded of that.

It's too bad; I thought Nixonland was a great book, and I saw plenty of parallels to the 2010s/2020s. There's just something about Trump that makes otherwise level-headed liberals forget everything they've learned and lose all control of their emotions, dissolving into ranting maniacs. The man knows how to push their buttons.
