As usual, Tom Toles has a direct line to my laugh track.

Is there any chance the Dem’s will see this as an opportunity to bring some healing? any chance they’ll recognize that the last 6 years rests partially on their shoulders, too, and will realize that their constituents want a balanced reasonable approach to budget, social concerns, privacy issues and foreign policy? Probably no chance of any of that but I bet the Dem’s get blamed for raising taxes as they try to recover from the massive deficit the GOP has burdened us with.
