So, how was your Remembrance Sunday?

The British Parliament — and people — wear red poppy symbols to honor soldiers who fell in the Great War trenches, World War II and ever since.

The U.S. Senate had one Remembrance Sunday, Nov. 9, that I’ll never forget. As night fell outside the Capitol, you could feel the shutdown political theater turn tragic.

Call it Remembrance Tuesday. Democrats swept the Nov. 4 elections, with women winning governor races in New Jersey and Virginia. California passed Gov. Gavin Newson’s move to redistrict several House seats to favor more Democrats.

Just five days after the party triumph in elections swept across the country, eight members of the Democratic caucus found a way to throw the upper hand away in the 40-day government shutdown. They joined 52 Republicans to meekly surrender.

That’s like losing Wimbledon after blowing a match point.

The worst part is not that Democrats lost their stand over rising health care premiums. The worst part is that President Donald Trump wins — again — through brute force.

Never did he blink nor shift his hard line. The closure of the federal government did not disturb the man who already burned much of it to the ground.

Chaos and confusion are his favorite form of governing. When the government reopens in mid-November, things will only seem slightly more “normal.”

Four men and four women senators snuffed out the euphoria and momentum Democrats built by running hard against Trump. Marchers and voters voiced their disapproval loud and clear. Public opinion of the president is sinking underwater.

Backstage, their 39 Senate colleagues were aghast and angry that the eight cracked unity in their showdown with Trump.

The minority leader, Chuck Schumer, had a similar failure in March, joining a group of eight dissenters himself. This time, he stayed with the consensus, but his leadership is under fire.

Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi (D) kept tight party discipline in the much larger House. House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries is ready to do the same.

Finally, finally, Democrats were finding chinks in Trump’s armor and aura of invincibility. There’s a saying that when you aim at the king, you’d best not miss.

Democrats lost a chance to showcase Trump’s cruel colors like never before.

Even I was shocked when he refused full federal funding for food stamps during this difficult patch for 42 million American kids, families and seniors.

They aren’t his voters, OK?

There’s a German word for Trump’s actions in blocking food and nutrition for the poor and hobbling air travel during the Thanksgiving holiday season. “Schadenfreude” means taking pleasure out of others’ pain.
