#1 Well, if you (secretly) know that you're second rate and hold a position way above your abilities, you can't feel safe unless you have absolute control.

#3 BLUF - Voters in 2016 bristled at redistribution, open borders, bigger government, and higher taxes, but progressives are now promising those voters even more of what they didn’t want.

Furious over the sudden and unexpected loss of power, enraged progressives have so far done almost everything to lose even more of it.

That's how you get More Trump. Dr. Hanson didn't say it; he didn't need to.

#4 I believe the left has always had less support for their opinions than anyone perceived. A lot of folks vote Democrat because their grandfather did, that sort of thing can't be counted on now.

#5 The left's ideas have not had support at any time in my life -- they just lie about them until they sue a federal agency into implementing them, and a judge (carefully picked) to rubber-stamp them.

They had control of most media until the "fairness doctrine" was removed, and they HATED the existence of alternate voices. Now they hate the alternate voices in the internet, and are desperate to shut them down as well.

#6 The GOPe is none too thrilled, either.

But let's not get cocky.
