You gotta admit, they played the long con perfectly.
Obstruct and the Democrats in office look feckless and weak to the layman. Government doesn't work, Washington is at a standstill, people are angry and have no trust in the 'status quo.
Progressives respond, predictably, with apathy and telling each other it's all the same, both sides are equally shitty.
Conservatives respond by voting and demanding change.
Now, the GOP wet dream. Government will run.like a well oiled machine by contrast. They will ejaculate bills all over the place---"Religious Freedom Protection" this and "American Energy Liberty" that---all patriotic sounding fuck you's to progressives.
They will look great, and people will vote for more of it. I think they'll actually shy away from the LGBT issues, there's too much national agreement on that. The only hope progressives have is for someone who inspires the lazy, complacent, "your vote doesn't count" element of our group to get off their asses.
There's clearly more of us. Democrats just don't vote.
The other hope is that unfettered power will drive more sectarian squabbling into the GOP and they gridlock themselves.
I don't expect that right off the bat, though.

"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
