I can see that you might have read it that way if you weren't paying attention. Sebby said, "Were progressives to take control of all three beaches, we’d have what we had in Trump’s first two years in reverse." If you're paying attention now, you'll know he meant branches of government, not beaches. My point was that we had Democratic control of the Presidency, House and Senate from 2008-10, and it wasn't "Trump's first two years in reverse." I meant that that Democratic Congress was responsible for a decade of economic prosperity in the same way that I mean that those two years were a "hellscape," which is to say that both were obviously hyperbole. You seem to have figured out that I didn't think it was really a hellscape, so I guess you were batting .500.
