Democrats Must Dig Faster and Use Bigger Shovels

Democrats Must Dig Faster and Use Bigger Shovels

Things the Democratic elites should do in order to live up to their party principles.

The biggest media topic of the day, apart from how president-elect Trump is Hitler, is how the Democratic party can dig its way out of the sinkhole in which it woke up on November 9th.  In the meantime, perpetual panic attacks among Democratic elites result in uncontrollable anger, projections, verbal incontinence, hallucinations, and outright lunacy.

Amidst alarming reports that her own party is being consumed by crisis, chaos, and infighting, Elizabeth Warren all of a sudden decided to call Trump's well-organized transition "chaotic" and demanded that a federal agency investigate this matter.

It was followed by the delusional idea of a ballot recount  in three states at once. The debate is still open on who was more insane: those who brought it up a week after the expired deadline - or their supporters who donated over $5 million of their money for this crash and burn project.

Other widespread examples of lunacy, verbal incontinence, hallucinations, and projections include intrusive and repetitive thoughts about race, racism, and racists.

Aiming to regroup and clean up the mess without losing any of their personal power, confused Democratic elites are offering more erratic solutions, from embracing white working class nationalism to excluding white people from running the party.                                                                   

Who are we to argue? If the Democrat party wants to continue to run on affirmative action principles, let them. I also urge them to expand on the idea and hire affirmative action pilots for their jets and affirmative action doctors for their Botox injections.

Barack Obama was an affirmative action president. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz and Donna Brazile were affirmative action DNC chairs. Hillary was an affirmative action presidential nominee.

As a result, the Democratic party has lost the White House, Senate, House of Representatives, many governorships, state and local legislatures, as well as the ability to make Supreme Court appointments that will determine the direction of the Judiciary for a generation. The Democrat party today is the weakest it has been since the 1920s.

My only regret is that the Democrats hadn't tested all of their half-baked ideas on their party first, before forcing them on the entire nation. Had they done that, their party would not have survived natural selection and today's Republicans would have to compete with a lot more sensible group of people.

In spite of all the evidence, some Democratic hard-liners continue to believe their party lost the elections because it didn't fully live up to its own principles.

Power to the hard-liners! If only they could force every rank and file Democrat to live exactly the way they want the rest of Americans to live, we'd see their ranks deflate to the size of the Communist Party USA faster than you can say "hypocrisy."

Things the Democratic elites should do in order to live up to their party principles:

Some of you may say, dude, don't point out their errors, we don't want them to smarten up. I say, we do want them to smarten up, dude. And right at this moment the best way to go about it is point out precisely how the use of their far-fetched leftist ideology has brought them to ruin.

With any luck, the least brainwashed of them will lose faith and stop pushing their hoary Utopian dogmas on the rest of us. There will be others, of course, who will stay the course and keep digging their way out of their hole until they surface in North Korea. Godspeed, comrades! Please dig faster and use bigger shovels.

Being an ex-Soviet citizen, I naturally perceive the reality through the prism of my past Soviet experiences. That said, today's political developments in America remind me of what happened in the USSR during Perestroika and Glasnost. The day Trump won the election I felt as elated as when the USSR officially collapsed.

I was lucky to have witnessed the fall of two evil empires from the inside. One was run by the monstrous Communist Party; the other by the well-greased Democratic party machine.

In the USSR, the Communist Party thrashed violently, obsessed with its own self-preservation without any regard to the crumbling Iron Curtain and the fact that nobody feared them any longer, nor believed a single word coming out of their mouths. And then it went down surprisingly fast. Disbanded without a whimper.

In the U.S., hardly anyone believes the leftist media anymore, especially after it was exposed to be a cog in the Democratic propaganda machine. Ideologically driven Hollywood movies tank in the box office, and politically correct colleges are quickly becoming the butt of every joke.

Make no mistake, well-connected Soviet apparatchiks still held on to their power and money, retaining many key positions in the government. That largely explains the undying culture of corruption in ex-Soviet countries that had never purged their ex-Communist officials, which badly needed to be done for the same reason de-Nazification was done  in post-World War II Europe. But at least the stifling ideology was gone and living standards began to improve by leaps and bounds.

The Trump administration would be wise to perform a thorough lustration of leftist ideologues in all government agencies, similar to how it was done in Poland and other former Eastern Bloc states that have successfully purged their communist past. I'm not calling for purges of all rank and file Democrats, but the more zealous ideologues in the government had better get ready to use their professional skills, if any, in the private sector.

The election was only a preview; the real fight is about to begin. We need to move fast while the Democratic party is wallowing in its crisis. In the words of their own apparatchik, you never let a serious crisis go to waste.

But Obama told us we weren’t as “Shovel ready as he thought”.

UnderObama (and Hillary-It's-Your-Turn), the Democratic Party
has disintegrated from liberalism to degenerate progressivism.

(hat tip Karim McQuillan)

It has not been pretty.

<><> democrat focus on preferential treatment for blacks has given way to a war on cops.

<><> Democrats "caring" about Hispanic Americans suddenly means America shouldn’t have borders and should have sanctuary for rapists and killers -- as long as they are here illegally.

<><>Browbeating college kids by empowerring feminists and black activists with Title IX money has turned college campuses against freedom of thought and speech.

<><> Women’s issues have bizarrely turned into a war on masculinity. Gay rights has morphed into men in women’s bathrooms.

<><> Pro-choice turned into third-trimester infanticide, selling baby body parts, and lawsuits against the Little Sisters of the Poor.

<><> Physical violence against Republicans is encouraged by President Obama and Clinton under the euphemism ‘protest.’

Democrat progressive politics is weird and ugly and dangerous, and people across the country have recoiled from it.

As Marc Thiessen says with his usual eloquence, “You can drive some 3,000 miles across the entire continental United States — from sea to shining sea — without driving through a single county that voted for Hillary Clinton.” (Excerpt) Read more at americanthinker.com ...

Lustration is the process of making something clear or pure, usually by means of a propitiatory offering.

It is also the purge of government officials once affiliated with the Communist system in Central and Eastern Europe.[1] Various forms of lustration were employed in post-communist Europe.[2] The concept might resemble de-Nazification in post-World War II Europe, and the de-Ba'athification in post-Saddam Hussein Iraq, and therefore resonates with concepts such as possible accountability for past human rights abuses, corruption or injustice.[3] The term is taken from the Roman lustrum purification rituals.[4]

The lustration of DC, I like it. It'll be harder with the Republican ones, though. They're burrowing in and trying to hide under a thin veneer of support for the incoming administration, the more intelligent among them are, at least. Then you have Lindsey Graham and John McCain, who make it easy. Thank you, Lindsey. Thank you, John. We'll take it from here.

Things the Democratic elites should do in order to live up to their party principles:

Relinquish all positions of power to the less fortunate, previously overlooked due to their lack of skills, intelligence, language proficiency, work ethics, felony record, hygiene, or another disability.

Balkanize the Democratic party by splitting it into a thousand factions based on race, gender, language, country of origin, ethnicity, culture, religion, sexual orientation, profession, education, or disability - and let them fight each other to the death for power.

Stop hiring tax accountants; donate all your income to the IRS because the government knows best how to use your money for the common good.

Good ones!

Careful! They'll be pushing through a taxpayer funded grant to study this!

It’s like every move they now make is designed to dig the hole deeper. I am continually stunned at how out of touch they are. The only explanation that comes to me is that they have had the system rigged in their favor for so long that they have absolutely no idea what to do when the truth comes out. They are still behaving as if they have a guarantee of power despite anything that they do or say.

The only thing still working in their favor is the effectiveness of their ubiquitous propaganda (media, schools, etc.). And even that is having less of an effect as people begin to see past it. First the smart and perceptive people, but slowly even some of the duller ones.

Actually, I would love this! I don’t care about the Democrat party or the Republican party. It would be wonderful to have a choice between two sensible candidates in every election!!

Well-stated. Many criminals never stop unless incarcerated or eliminated. The political criminals/cockroaches have moved to the shadows/gray areas. They’ll be back as the dysfunctional carry their water bucket$ and the propagandists amplify their deceptive tactics.

Drain the $wamp.

When Obama wanted to address the nation, he would call the networks and the cable news for an hour or so during prime time. He would preempt favorite shows, arrive late, drone on and on.

Trump puts out a You Tube video.

Sure, because Obama probably had the media in the next room the whole time. Trump knows that the media has the same bosses as Obama, and opts to send out his communications unfiltered by the elites.

It worked; he will be our next president.

“That says adding shovelers with larger shovels will decrease production because for every shoveler added the space in the hole gets smaller and actual dirt volume shoveled decreases”

I’m just hoping the hole gets wider and deeper and the morons digging don’t shore up the walls. Then when it’s sufficiently deep, the walls need to collapse burying all of them leading to their immediate death.

The biggest mistake of the past 40 years was not to have Nuremberg-style trials for the Communists.

Excellent, Liz. It is indeed quite weird the positions that Left has adopted.

And yet, they still won an astounding percentage of the national vote.

I guess we can only hope that Trump delivers with enough gusto that the gimmedats can be weaned from the Big Government wet nurse.

It’s going to take a while, but 8 years of Trump and another 8 of his predecessor should put America back in the saddle.

Good one!

Or they’ll “discover” a constitutional right to shovels and require that the taxpayer subsidize them for those who can’t afford a shovel on their own. Maybe shovels will be required and we will have to pay a tax penalty if we don’t have one.
