One theory for the Democrats’ catastrophic loss

Now that the Democrats’ humiliating electoral defeat has gone into the record books, the remaining processes are beginning to unfold. The driving force for this is not Mr. Trump’s popularity or Harris-Walz’s lack thereof. It is the long overdue awakening of the formerly free-living American public to the accumulated tyranny of the modern mega-state.

Various justifications have been offered for this persecution of the general public. Most conspicuous is the grossly hyperbolic threat of catastrophic “climate change.” In California and at least eleven other states, unelected agency functionaries have issued complete bans on new fossil-fueled motor vehicles, to occur within the conceivable future.

Ignorance of the oscillation between past ice ages and warm periods was assumed to enable the political success of this hoax, but the resulting government-imposed misery was too much for free people to accept. To further provoke this discontent, here in Northern California, there are frost warnings around the outlying Bay Area, and snow-caused mountain road closures, while winter is well over a month away

Hayek hit the nail on the head when he named planners as the primary enemy of freedom. I once heard two urban planners discuss the problem of traffic congestion in urban centers (formerly known as downtowns). Their brilliant solution was to drastically reduce the amount of available parking spaces...thus forcing people to use public transportation. Who really are the fascists in our midst?

I think that Sundance does great research and develops great insights into events…and maybe it’s just me but as much as I’m impressed with his tremendous ability to synthesize disparate information and find connections, I always get the impression that he misses some basic, eternal even, truths and it leaves me thinking he’s just howling at the moon.

Human nature dictates that whatever can be done will be done. If these tools exist, they will be used…in every way that they can be used. He concludes that we are only one election away from these powers being weaponized. So my suggestion is, don’t make a mistake in an election. This is no different than before. You are not going to stop the advance of technology, so choose wisely. Everyone who thinks of these things understood that this election.

And eventually humanity will choose poorly. That has been told to us since the very beginning. God knows this and has been telling us this for as long as we have had ears to hear.

I want my incandescent bulbs back! These led bulbs cost 10 times more and last 1/4 as long (even though they CLAIM to last longer)

Then, you must believe that Obama, Jarrett, et al., are political morons or they wanted Harris to lose. That’s too much believing for me. I go by Occam’s razor here. Likely Biden started it all, either from senility or spite.

Trump was authentic

That's why so many people give him a pass on comments that the standard politician could never utter. People know he's WYSIWYG, and they appreciate that. It also takes guts to defy political correctness. Trump's an alpha, a capitalist and a patriot.

As much as the Democrats deserved to lose, no other Republican could have done it.

Amen to that!

Harris’s ads kept making atrocious accusations that might have been effective...had not most Americans recalled Trump was NOT the monstrous tyrant she claimed but an extremely effective President despite her party and the assistant Democrats trying to hinder his every step.

Their propaganda wasn’t going to work without some sort of national brain-washing/memory wipe. Hmmm, other than delayed fatalities what else are the “anti-virus” scientists working on?
