No Democrat was given the benefit of the doubt, corrupt motivations assumed, alarm over all the terrible caving they would do if not constantly and loudly bashed every day.

Math was out then, too. Vote Blue No Matter Who considered a threat telling people what to do, mention of Supreme Court and judges and legislation only possible with majorities was mocked.

Pragmatism was out, that was establishment, status quo, centrist, "donor class" blah blah blah.

Pragmatism not moral righteousness, trust the candidate, math is real. Welcome back, status quo!
