NY Times Blames Voters [semi-satire]
Semi-News/Semi-Satire ^ | 10 November 2024 | John Semmens

The editors of the New York Times blamed "voters who failed to see how serious a threat Donald Trump is to our democracy. They will now reap the whirlwind of the despotism they have empowered as Trump moves to censor and imprison those who disagree with him. Hopefully, they will grow to realize that the freedom and prosperity they have chosen for America is an inadequate substitute for the unity and equity lost by abandoning the vision bestowed upon us by former President Obama."

CNN pundit Scott Jennings pointed out that "Democrats have already used the FBI to threaten social media into censoring folks who disagreed with their policies and imprison others for protesting. The despotism that the Times predicts will come from Trump has already been put into action by the politicians they endorsed. Electing Trump is the revenge of regular working-class Americans, the anonymous Americans who have been crushed, insulted, condescended to. They're not garbage, they're not Nazis. They're just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids, and they feel like they have been told to just shut up when they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives."

MSNBC contributor and former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo) said "I am skeptical of the Times' hope that those who voted for Trump would ever come to appreciate the Obama vision. These voters are angry that Democrats made such a hash of everything during the Biden term. They're angry that this country's elites were allowed to bypass the pandemic restrictions imposed on ordinary people. They're angry that their taxes were wasted on giveaways to Democratic Party cronies for inefficient solar and wind energy scams. They're angry that their safety has been reduced by the entry of so many criminals and dangerous drugs through our southern border. They're angry that they are being forced to pay for the college debt of others. They're angry that they had no say on who would get the Democrat nomination for president. These legitimate grievances cannot be assuaged by the grandiose dreams of the progressive elite of the Democratic Party."

Funny how they were all about “fighting for Democracy” until people voted

It’s a wretched story-—a ratings winner as a Netflix three part series:

Part one: A whirlwind campaign, an Obama endorsement, a feisty debate,
a billion spent, celebrity endorsements galore.

Part two: Kamala is now $20M in the hole, Oprah’s a million dollars richer
and Beyonce wont sing for love nor money.

Part three: Obama’s no longer speaking to Kamala. Shortly after her humiliating defeat, he made an inexlicable statement about “headwinds”, aides spoke of her mistakes, Obama’s hectoring black men, which actually drove black males to Trump. Michelle spoke from “the core of her being” about white voters as racists, driving away even more voters.

Telling voters they are stupid always works. Not in the way the talkers hope, but it does work.

"They will now reap the whirlwind of the despotism they have empowered as Trump moves to censor and imprison those who disagree with him."

Says a defender of the party that has tried to imprison Trump for four years, has imprisoned Bannon and other Trump supporters, has imprisoned hundreds of non-violent J6 participants, imprisons non-violent pro-life protesters, censors conservative media, and imprisons a Trump supporter for a silly election meme.

I blame them also. They should have done this many elections ago.

The Voters are definitely to blame for Trump's victory, but not because they failed to see anything but because they saw with crystal clarity and reacted with wisdom, responsibility, and the embrace of Truth..

It's the nutcases at the New York Times and elsewhere who are blind to Truth and reality.
