The point is, Trump's election was extremely humiliating to the left as a whole (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4nh2oO93ts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4nh2oO93ts) and the 3+ years of hand-wringing over some Facebook ads (which nobody can prove swayed the election either way) is a bit of a clown show.

Sure, but in this case I guess you meant a subset (probably a large one I admit) of the "mainstream" media, plus some liberal talk show hosts/comedians. I'd be wary of judging the "left" through that lens, since TV is a product with its own priorities which only align with political ideologies when they're trying to tap into that market. I'll admit that I only have a handful of close friends and family members of the opposing party, but I try to use them as my barometer if I can instead of TV/online media/internet commenters (obviously polling is different and valid when relevant).
