Many can't wait to exact revenge upon the "others".

You will see special prosecutors appointed most likely, sweeping regulatory changes which will be heralded as godsends but in the end which will continue economic malaises.

It's revenge based.

Bush and vicariously by proxy, Republican ideals, which Bush never endorsed or supported, became a lightening rod for incompetent right wing religious nuts. Unfortunately, the good aspects of conservatism are lumped into together with the bad.

So, those jealous of successful business will seek revenge.

Those who oppose the military will exact revenge.

Those who do not believe we've advanced significantly in any liberal agenda item will seek revenge. This annihilation of the Republican Party will be interpreted as a mandate, so much blood letting will occur, and hopefully, we will have dissension result from the partisanship which usually ensues a hostile takeover of a country.

It reminds me of China after Mao Zedong drove the Guomingdang to Formosa. Every capitalist or supporter of the old regime was annihilated. Ours won't happen in a literal sense, but in a figurative sense. Anybody believing this will be benign is extremely naive.
