why are democrats so arrogant?

Eh, you try warning them not to be cocky like some Republicans were after 2004 but they don't care. It's not worth your time anymore, Walter. Every side gets smacked back down to Earth after awhile. They'll learn.

I think the situation at the moment is more comparable to 2002 actually, except in reverse. But yes painful lessons will be learned in time...
