Leftists had convinced themselves that winning elections was an inevitable as the success of ObamaCare and the rejuvenation of the economy.

Yeah, well, then they should've rescheduled the elections for the wee hours of Christmas Eve.

This Dolchstosslegende thing for Germany in the 1920s is fairly correct. When you look at the era of 1919 to 1930...you usually get 50-percent of the whole landscape by most historians.

There was a whole volume of public belief-history left over from the 1800s....massive wins had been going on for a hundred years and no one could imagine German defeat. The inability of the public to grasp what happened and take a fragile republic through the period? It just didn’t happen.

The lie is that we did nothing wrong and do not need to change.

No, I think that is wrong. I think "the lie" is that we (they) did not go left enough, thus the only change needed for victory is to go further left.

The lie is that we did nothing wrong and do not need to change.

Are you listening, GOP? The Day of Reckoning is fast approaching.

Dolchstosslegende Stab-in-the-back legend

[MarkL]

But Dolchstosslegendes aren’t patriotic. They’re exercises in divisiveness by losers who don’t want to take responsibility for their stupidity, incompetence and hypocrisy.

The Gore supporters stopped just short of calling the election illegitimate. Hillary won't. She doesn't care that she's working to destroy the public confidence in not only government, but in elections.

That shouldn't really be surprising, given the people who trained her and with whom she associates.

Good post!

[AndyJackson]

What about the Dolchstosslegende or the Stab-in-the-Back theory regarding what the Republicans are doing, except it isn’t a “legend.” It’s real.

Hillary went from pressing a reset button with one of Putin’s minions to a posthumous political campaign claiming that Putin had rigged the election. Never mind that even if Russian hackers did leak Podesta’s emails, less than 1% of Americans have any idea who Podesta is or cared about the contents of his chats.

Odd how liberal elite members of the press didn't spend any time telling Americans what was in those emails... If it hadn't been for a few Bernie supporters we'd never know... Did some of them die trying to get the word out? Was Brennan behind the Rich death?

The very definition of "progressive" incorporates a notion that history does have an identifiable direction, that they know what it is, and that it is their duty to further it and oppose anyone who they think might be hindering it, with whatever violence might be necessary. That's where the "progress" part comes from. Any threat to this is a fundamental threat to their entire self-image as enlightened thinkers. A threat, in other words, to vanity.

One does not find a great deal of intellectual humility on the Left - it is that vanity that confers an overweening sense of superiority. It's what they are and they'll kill for it.

What is most difficult for the True Believers to grasp is not that they lost, it's that they even could lose. One can see why: Hillary's insuperable lead was a tissue of fiction to a degree that even her opposition found (and still finds) hard to believe. But an 80/20 lead trumpeted by a normally reliable pollster would have been outrageously outside the norm in American politics, in whose history the worst landslide was Johnson/Goldwater, which was roughly 60/40. 80/20 simply wasn't going to happen and anyone who believed it was already delusional. That should have served as a major warning; instead it was (and still is by her supporters) treated as gospel. It's an article of faith now and they won't be talked out of it.

Hillary lost. She deserved to lose. Thank God she lost.

From this article: “The Democrats had allowed themselves to believe that they were so innately superior that they couldn’t lose an election except through fraud or dirty tricks.”

Totally, and obviously projection. Democrats are exactly that which they project upon their opposition. Because they are architects of fraud, and dirty tricks their opposition must be even more so if their opposition wins. Fraud, and dirty tricks are the stock, and trade of Democrats.

Curious as to why!? They are, and always have been in size, and actual participation the minority party of the two main political parties of America. Loud, and vociferous, but with the disadvantage of size.
