The Republicans walked away to prevent the Democrats from saddling their constituents with new taxes. I remember the Democrats losing their shit over it, calling them traitors, wanting them to be imprisoned and lose their seats.
Now that the shoe is on the other foot, the Democrats want to be upset about it.
If Democrats didn't heavily rely on jerrymandering to maintain control of blue states' legislatures and seats in the House, they'd have a leg to stand on.
Democrats upset that Republicans are doing what Democrats have done since 1812, flee to blue, heavily jerrymandered states to cry foul.
And yet the irony is lost on most people.
I look at it as absurdist political humor, just like when they were making fun of Al Gore with ManBearPig and Hilly Clinton with The Snuke. Then there was them roasting the shit out of Saddam Hussein in the movie.
Rehashing Saddam Hussein as Trump was a bit lazy. They could have done better, but it was still entirely unexpected.
