The delegitimizing and demonizing have begun

This reaction from a Wisconsin union worker to last night’s recall election result tells you all you need to know about the left: If they don’t win, the world is in self-destruct mode, things are off kilter, nefarious methods were used, etc. This is almost the identical reaction the editorial writers of The News & Observer had when Republicans won a majority of the Wake County School Board two years ago. After whining like this guy for a few days, the N&O began deligitimizing the win and demonizing the opposition in stories and editorials. This is not a healthy reaction, in Wisconsin OR North Carolina.
