It's 2009. Democrats made massive gains in Congress last year, after making huge gains and retaking the House the previous election in 2006. Barack Obama was swept into power, winning the most votes ever - nearly 70 million -, completely humiliating McCain with 365 electoral votes, and even winning fucking Indiana. Demographics are trending Democratic too.
It doesn't look like Republicans will ever retake the House, Senate or White House again. They should just die off, it's over.
