Maybe, just maybe a small indicator that some of the silent majority are starting to stand and be counted.
And while you are in the business of hypothesisizing all the negathings that could have happened....how about switching your hat around and gin up some positive coulda happeneds.

Red States Revolt Against Obama Era Progressivism
"Pundits initially described Barack Obama's 2008 election as a major leftward shift in American politics. As the Obama era opened, the GOP held just 22 governorships and 14 state legislatures. But voters almost immediately began electing Republican lawmakers who rejected Obama's call for bigger government.
Today, Republican governors rule in 31 states, and the party has gained some 900 state legislative seats, giving it control of 30 legislatures.
This is a business publication and interesting this part of the article...
"A key Republican competitive initiative has been right-to-work legislation, which empowers employees to opt out of joining a union if their workplace is unionized. Since 2012 three states, each with a GOP governor and legislature, have adopted the policy — Indiana, Michigan and Wisconsin.
Except for Ohio, every state with a Republican governor and legislature is now right-to-work — a likely game-changer in relocation wars, especially for blue-collar firms.
Right-to-work has doubtless contributed to the significant growth in industrial jobs in states with Republican governors. Since 2010, the U.S. has added 660,000 new manufacturing positions — and more than 500,000 were in states with GOP governors.
Among the biggest gainers: Michigan with 102,000 new manufacturing jobs, Texas with 72,000, Indiana with 63,000, Wisconsin with 34,000. The expansion contrasts with the struggles of Democratic strongholds, including former manufacturing powerhouses like California and New York."
