Has the Left Learned Anything from the Election?
American Thinker ^

Posted on 11/07/2024 6:23:43 AM PST by Tench_Coxe

Trump’s election to the Presidency is a breathtaking achievement. So many thought he had too many issues working against him and were certain that the country would not elect a convicted felon or a man who “planned to be a dictator” on his first day in office.

But they were wrong.

(snip)

Given the sound rejection of the Left’s agendas across the country, has the Left learned anything? The answer is a resounding “No!”

Even if the Left realized that they had made a huge mistake in not listening to the people, that fact will be irrelevant to them. The radical Left or progressives have always seen themselves as the experts in governance, and the people simply do not know what is good for them. So, the Left will try to be patient and persist in reaching their goals. Acknowledging this reality on our part -- that the progressives will never give up -- allows us to arm ourselves with powerful and effective strategies to stop them. I’m also assuming (and I would love to be wrong) that the legacy media will follow the Left’s agenda.

I agree with the author. I would also add: weed out the would be quislings who try to masquerade as 'Republicans'.

The only thing the Left learned is that they need to start sooner, work longer to cheat with more ghost votes!

Well, they’ve given up “protesting” against Israel and now coming after the Americans.

Hopefully not! Hopefully they double down on stupid. IF they were capable of coming to the light, i would wish them do so, but i’m not sure they are capable, so hopefully they don’t learn, and will ramp up the dumb in order for this nation to keep rejecting them at the polls!

We are all missing something. Right now, the Left is busy stealing Senate Elections in States where Trump cruised to victory.

MI- elects Trump, flips state house back to GOP. Yet the GOP Senate candidate loses in the 14th hour.

Same with AZ, NV and it looks like they are trying in PA.

Why? So that the majority remains at 51 and Murkowski and Collins can ensure that the GOPe can sabotage Trump, Part II.

Cornyn or Thune as Majority Leader? Really?!?

"Too big to Rig" turned out to be true and they could not delay the real election results long enough for the days long ballot stuffing to start. Example.
	Philadelphia, number of registered voters remained about the same

2024	703,470
2020	749,317
2017	210,838

I think the new reality is that it’s not Left and Right anymore. It’s Nationalist vs Globalist.

And there are Left and Right Nationalists, and Left and Right Globalists.

For example, RFK Jr is a leftist nationalist. Liz Cheney is a right-wing globalist.

But the general election votes massively increased.

The Left will do what they always predictably do, they will double down on stupid with support from the corrupt media. It's a losing formula.

I disagree. They have. They are remembering this blast from the past (sort of...)

"Go left, young man. Go left!"

Not a chance. When they fail, they always double down. Always. To change direction would mean to admit they were wrong, and they can *never* admit that they were wrong.

I was told by a leftist family member yesterday that we have to be unified. On BOTH sides

She means “we are still going to treat you like you are wrong and bad”

So…no. Not at this time

Carville needs some political recurrent training since he missed calling election by several miles. Maybe he’s been smoking Louisiana Mushrooms again or completely lost his mind.

They’re not going to give up. They don’t care about the wishes of the American people. They will keep coming at us in one way or another until they achieve their goal of the destruction of our great nation. Lenin didn’t give up, Mao didn’t give up, the devil never gives up.
They will retreat for a short while until a new strategy emerges. The fight goes on!
God be with us...

I hope not. They should continue to make the same mistakes.

Maybe a coupe of them have, but they have no real idea why they lost and they don’t aim to find out. Instead they want to regroup and push shutting up any opposition to their tyranny.

These scum will need to be taken to the wood pile and made to pay for the many crimes they have engaged in.

If we don’t do that, nobody will trust us in the next election and the scum will be able to sit back and wait.

We must go on offense this time and it starts right away.

Even this guy agrees on that.

What I'm hearing today from the leftists is "How could so many people be so wrong?" referring to the people that voted for Trump.

They are so blinded by their ideology they just can't conceive that there may be other perspectives.

Trump should fly to Hollywoods Chinese theater to sign the bill that kills the NEA. Invite Hollywood stars to argue on it’s behalf. Let the buttheads show their true colors on camera. Better yet make it all women.
