Well, You Finally Got Tired of Losing
Taki's Mag ^ | 11/09/2021 | David Cole

Posted on 11/09/2021 2:43:38 PM PST by Scarlett156

Last week was a good one, so it’s kind of dickish to make fun, but it’s really amusing how quickly some of you went from, in 2016, “We’re gonna get tired of winning,” to nervously awaiting the Youngkin/McAuliffe results sweating bullets, fingers nervously crossed, “Oh please please please just give us this one victory!”

Trump lost the House, then the White House, then he blew two potentially winnable Georgia races to lose the Senate, then he idiotically engineered a piece of pointless theater that turned into a full-on riot that morphed into an event that will never stop haunting the right for the rest of your fvcking life and mine.

I'm not sure what we were supposed to do in 2016 besides elect Donald Trump. If Hilldog had been announced the champion, the world would be a radically different place now. And do you notice how these "let's get over Trump" guys NEVER SEEM TO HAVE AN ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVE? I'm not saying "a superior alternative" but merely an acceptable one.

What am I missing? (Surely 4nn C0ulter doesn't suppose we would rally around her as a choice for president? Who is this "better than Trump" guy supposed to be and why doesn't anyone want to talk about him?)

I am not ashamed of Jan 6...

It was a protest.

It was loser RINOs who did all that, not Trump.

This clown, who thinks he’s so clever, is nothing more than a low rent “Dose of Buckley.”

Some people have learned that pointing and declaring problems somehow translates into others striving to resolve those problems on their behalf. Ultimately, _nothing_ satisfies them - because constant complaining constantly gets them results (from their perspective). Should relentless griping not produce satisfactory results, they believe that doubling down on the complaints will.

And here we are, discussing such people’s concerns and seeking a way to satisfy them.

If January 6th was a riot, what do they call a typical day at Walmart? Because I’ve seen a hell of a lot more action there than what happened at the Capitol.

Now, stop making assumptions! I just wonder how an apparently rational - or at least responsible - intellect could think Hillary would have been better in 2016, or that there wasn’t something fishy about the 2020 election result.

I don’t want to satisfy them. Just trying to understand, for one thing, how a Hilldog presidency would have benefited them or anybody else. (I’m not crazy about DT. He’s done something that really disturb me.)

Last week was a good one

No. Last Tuesday was a good one. By Friday evening we were back to losing when, for reasons I can't even begin to fathom, 13 House Republicans gave Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden a win while allowing AOC and the rest of the Squad to save face.

I am at a total loss to understand how any House Republican voted for this bill.

Right back to losing again, while reminding me that the House GOP continues to be the most cowardly political body in U.S. congressional history.

“I am at a total loss to understand how any House Republican voted for this bill”

Then you must find everything that has happened since 1988 very confusing.

“I’m not saying “a superior alternative” but merely an acceptable one.”

A superior alternative not what the anti-Trump movement is about at all.

The idea that "Trump lost the White House" isn't based on anything. Perhaps the Republican Party, and Republicans across the nation lost the White House by allowing changes to election laws, and failing to confront the media, Facebook, Twitter, and other tech giants that swayed the election and lead to the Biden administration, but that's not Donald Trump's fault.

The Georgia senate races were lost by candidates who didn't know how to win, and changes in election rules and procedures that the Republicans in Georgia never should have allowed to happen.

I read a couple more of his pieces, and he makes some good points, albeit in a snarky manner. He’s really good at Monday morning quarterbacking though, which isn’t very hard to do. He sounds like the typical elitist RINO who loves to lecture the rest of us about our mistakes.
