The last two years of the George W Bush administration were among the darkest days for conservatives. Never was the GOP brand so low, never was a sitting president so loathed, and never did the prospects for a return to power look worse.
Then came Obama. Looks, speech, and an unprecedented level of sycophantic fawning by the media and entertainment industries alike conspired for a political black hole, from which no light of conservatism could escape. Liberals owned power - not only in politics, but in nearly all media, in pop culture, and most importantly for their longevity, in education. And by education, I mean the whole Mary Ann - everything from kindergarten all the way through college campuses.
Liberalism was poised to not only lead, but to dominate as a political ideology for decades upon decades. The county could be reworked into a liberal wonder land, and dissenting voices would summarily be crushed by the powers that be under the guise of racism, hatred, bigotry, homophobia, or the ever popular "war on women."
It was perfect. Absolutely bleeping perfect. Except the man they put in charge was the furthest thing from a leader that has ever occupied the White House. It turned out who was elected was truly Chauncey Gardiner. The man has no discernible skills that would make a successful president, and in scandal after scandal and crisis after crisis, he has continually failed. Indeed, even touted successes such as Obamacare, "leading from behind," the Russian reset, and unemployment are all massive failures.
As such, the veneer of liberalism wore off. Despite having a monopoly on media and social touch points, the American public began to distrust democrats. That distrust ultimately manifest itself in the resulting 2014 midterms, and the pummeling that was delivered by a suddenly resurgent republican party.
The democrats had this thing locked up - for decades! It was going to be the golden age of liberalism! The only problem was that as a "leader," they chose a man that was anything but. His incompetence, arrogance, and failure not only got republicans back in the game, it saved them.
Who would have thought that the best thing to happen to the republican party since Ronald Reagan would be Barack Hussein Obama?
