I wonder if a mood is sweeping the world?
Maybe it has spread to the USA?
I do know that satirists and political junkies here miss and cannot let go of the previous government for the qualities they possessed in spades, such as are found in black comedy and B-grade horror movies.
In Australia the centre/left is only ever elected around times of crisis....1972, 1983, 2007.
Some time after, the (what shall we call them?) conservatives (not lately they're not) blame the ALP for what they failed to prepare for when there was time.When Rudd gave his apology to the Stolen Generation (and by extension Aboriginal Australia), there were all the PMs and ex-es (Whitlam, Fraser, Hawke, Rudd), with Gough Whitlam leaning on the shoulder of his mortal enemy Malcolm Fraser. The only one missing was John Howard.
