I’ve seen those types of pictures before: the early morning of November 9, 2016 when Donald Trump won the Presidency. The images from the Jacob Javitts Center in New York City from stunned Hillary Clinton supporters was just priceless.

“Yet a handful of close losses in conservative districts shouldn’t make Democrats panic, no matter what this morning’s punditry says.”

That’s right! Don’t panic! Everything you’re doing is great! Let’s see, your messaging and ideas consist of:

1. Hate Trump!
2. Really hate Trump!
3. Impeach Trump!
4. Really, really, really hate Trump!
5. Really, really, really impeach Trump!

Yes, these ideas are so clever, the average voter is not understanding the brilliance involved. So more of the same is required for the stupid American voters, by 2018, to finally understand how your message is going to make their lives better! Keep it up!

Hopefully the rats will have their heads handed to them in 2018. If they do then the question becomes: so what do we do now? Both for our side and theirs.

The gop had control of the house, senate, and the presidency under Bush. They squandered it and we ended up with zero, nasty nancy, and hairy. So what are we going to do to consolidate some conservative victories? What do we do when folks get tired of the gop? Nothing much if the past is any guide.

They have gained a seat in the tiny NH House.

And a seat in NY Assembly that voted big for Trump, low turnout in that special election.

But that’s it.

The Democrat party has always been able to hide their true intention behind lies. The nice moderate Democrats was a facade, a mask. It was easy for them to be “nice” and reach across the aisle since many Republicans were RINO and were more than willing to go along with the left’s agenda.

With Obama winning the White House and many of their long term goals almost achieved they no longer had to pretend to be nice. They began to show their real self, and show what they really thought about many Americans, especially those that have not drunk the kool-aid.

The problem for the Democrats is now that the mask has been removed and Americans can see just how nasty, ugly and mean they are, they (Americans) don’t want anything to do with them.

The Democrats will win some elections but the trend is now against them. The pendulum is beginning to swing back the other way. Unfortunately we will not see all the changes to come since as it took over a 100 years to get from where we were to where we are today, it will perhaps take a 100 years to clean up the society mess that progressives have created.

The Democrats want socialism.
The Democrats want open borders.
The Democrats want to give up our Constitution in favor of a EU style government (where the people have no voice in the matter)
The Democrats want a repeal on the 1st and 2nd amendment

In short the Democrats want a dictatorship and they want to pick the dictator.

A funny thing happened on the way to Utopia - Donald Trump.

The last thing they expected was a billionaire who was not afraid of being called names. A billionaire that could not be bought off. A billionaires who skeletons in the closet did not scare anyone (especially after the last two Democrat Presidents)

Violence is the last card they have to play. The left has never been afraid to get violent (look at how they support union thugs or the rioters).

But violence will not win what they want to win since they are out of power they can not control events, and with the internet, they no longer control the message.

They are losing because people are waking up to the fact that socialism does not work, it can not work, and it has never worked. It can only destroy.

Progressives will lose because their ideas go against basic human nature. The tide has turned leaving the Democrats stranded on the ash heap of history.

Oh yeah, they’ll be really successful next time. They’re starting to sound like Republicans explaining why they couldn’t defund Obamacare.

Wait, didn’t I just read that Democrat fundraising is plummeting? Oh, yeah, they’ll be successful next time anyway.... right?

“HA HA HA HA HA...Sure they’ll win big time in 2018...”

One should not underestimate the depths to which cosmic scu*bags will descend. They may look like they’re on the ropes, but they’re plotting, “figuring”, triangulating, and calculating whatever it takes to “win”, no matter what it might be.

IMHO
