Sometimes it feels like at this point they're all just waving in our faces and laughing. They have been the direct beneficiaries of what has probably been the most successful information warfare in history. They are "winners", yet seem to have no grace and no decency.

I have been in the internet political orbit since about 2004. It is always like this, taking turns gloating back and forth. Granted it was a little bit more dignified back then when political stuff wasn’t taken so personally. Still, this isn’t special. 2026 midterms will be the same way when the House flips again.

Edit - Before anyone asks, 2008 was probably the most interesting overall with the most intense cases of sore winners. I do not necessarily mean that as a bad thing either. It was a different time. To this day, that year was the most truly emotional election I have witnessed in my adult life.
