Never Saw It Coming ... (Homerun)

.

The beauty of this essay is truly a joy to behold. --------~

They shouldn’t be asking themselves why they lost, they should be asking themselves what else have they got wrong?

________________________~

Reality, no matter how painful, no matter how disorientating, trumps illusion every time.

In the end, it wasn’t that the numbers were wrong, it’s that conservatives didn’t want to believe reality.

So they didn’t.

And that’s why they never saw it coming.
