Many of us were stunned----stunned, I tell you----by the right's apoplectic reaction to this election. I mean, the data was out there for all to see. Day after day, week after week, month after month. But they chose to either ignore, or attack the truth and the messengers who were all but screaming DEFEAT at them.
In retrospect, I think most of us thought the masses were deceived by Pox News, while Willard World had willfully deceived themselves. Up until election night, I also believed Willard World and Pox News had some sort of pseudo symbiotic relationship going on, in that they fed off each other.
I absolutely believed Pox News drew its strength from the nonsense Willard World knowingly tossed out there. I absolutely believed Willard World knew they were losing, and in order to keep their rich donors from storming the gates, they continued to lie about their prospects, using Pox to distribute their bullshit.
But then election night came and I was forced to adjust my view. As I watched Willard World's, and more specifically, The Romney's implosion, another theory bobbed to the surface, one that I think explains Willard and Ann's STUNNED reaction.
