"The fever dreams of frustrated liberals" (updated)

Ta-Nehisi Coates on the inevitable return of PUMA season.

She is "tougher." A nebulous existence in the fever dreams of frustrated liberals tends to do that to you. Everybody's "tougher" before they're in the actual knife fight. I could just as easily see an alternative fever dream--one launched by President Hillary Clinton political failings, which she surely would have had, in which another camp of liberals look fondly back on how the Obama of hope and change would have altered the political calculus via magic.

The handsome gentleman at the office with whom you share no bathrooms is also "sexier" than your husband. We're all sexy to someone until the years find us explaining how, precisely, we allowed Junior to have Oreos and potato chips for dinner.

Nuff said.

UPDATE: I do have one thing to add to this after all. The same could be said of progressive mythologizing about FDR.
