6. A good sharp sucker-punch to their sour guts

Imagine what it must fell like to them. Just three years ago they were riding a big wave as they saw what they thought was an enemy nearly vanquished, private sector unionized industrial workers on the ropes and marginalized enough to allow them to concentrate their efforts on squashing unionized public employees. They nearly saw a huge portion of the sector of the economy they hate most, Heavy industry, shrunk further, allowing a financialized paper-pushing utopia to replace it. Then BOOM! Everything goes upside down.

Gotta be a major kick in the head. Yeah i guess it was/is. That would explain all the misspelled signs they brandish.
