I was going to do a well-thought out post-mortem for the democrats to maybe offer them some insight into why they got so humiliatingly beaten on Tuesday, with an actual hope of maybe helping them in their future endeavors, but after a few days of their backwards and hateful reactions, I feel comfortable saying they are not ready to hear any such message. So I shall not share it.
But I will say this: the results exactly matched my ballot. Literally everything and everyone I voted for won by popular vote rather significantly. In case you didn’t know, “popular” means majority. So there are more people in “our democracy” who think my way than not. Or, alternatively, I’m more “in tune” with what the majority of Americans are thinking right now than apparently any democrat. And so long as democrats fanatically believe whatever CNN and MSNBC tell them, they will fail to learn any actual, practical lessons that might improve their popularity in the future.
The question the rank and file democrats should really be asking themselves is, “Why is it significantly easier for me to believe that the majority of my neighbors and coworkers, friends and family members are bigots and literal Nazis, racists and misogamists, fascists and “garbage” than it is to believe I’ve been lied to every day for the last 10 years by the ‘most trusted names in news’?” Because you liked the reality they were selling you, so you kept going back. It’s natural to want to do absolutely everything to avoid confronting the world-view-altering truths the answer to this question reveals. It wasn’t just that you were obviously lied to…you gobbled up the bullshit voraciously and unquestioningly because it affirmed the narrative your now-fragile identity is dependent on.
