The libs created an entire subreddit called TheMeltdown because they were so sure Trump was going to get spanked by Clinton (in fairness, they were good sports about it and kept it up). I've held the opinion for years now that the 2016 election opened the Pandora's box of hurting leftist pride. Gamergate hurt their pride, but only in the gaming adjacent leftist circles. The 2016 election hurt the pride of every leftist, everywhere. Now they don't have their pride, they're now just being the petty and spiteful mean girls they always were.
