Five Stages of Liberal Grief
2010 Election, Kubler-Ross, The Left
As the fatal election in November inevitably approaches, Rob Long notes that the left is gradually moving past Denial to the second stage.
It’s all part of the Kubler-Ross model, the Five Stages of Grief. Now they’re turning to Stage Two: Anger. Angry at the voters, at Fox News, at Obama himself.
Next up: Bargaining. I’m not sure when that’s going to start — probably a few weeks after Labor Day. But as always, what we’re all waiting for is Stage Four: Depression.
Stage Five is Acceptance, but I’m not holding my breath for that one.
