No. I'll probably be following elections for decades... And sometimes my side will win big, and sometimes the other side will. I had better get used to it!
Same attitude I have, except you put the nostalgic upbeat tone at the end of your statement. Eventually, the Democrats will win a massive mandate during my lifetime, and control both halves of Congress with large majorities (wait... actually, that's already happened). Anyway, it'll happen again. And some day, the Republicans will win a massive mandate. These things aren't static.
