I think everyone was in shock. And many of us HAD to be a least a bit hopeful that ....well, the country's leadership didn't devolve into what it is today.

From Feinstein to Van Jones, and this Salon article. It was partly a projection of what they hoped to see happen. It was long before we found out just how unhinged and narcissistic he was. Even more than we had seen. It was all we could cling to at that time.
