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.

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

Any ballot “counting” that goes beyond an election night never breaks well for the GOP.

Interesting way to look at it. It works. 🤔

They should have learned that it’s okay to throw away your Che Guevara shirt once you graduate from college. Also, get a job instead of staying up late getting high and watching the late night TV jackasses.

Right, because admitting that their message is moot will never occur to them.

To win with a proper message and NO fraud is beyond them!

The way I see it, people made Trump too big to rig, but then apparently didn’t do the same down ballot (leaving it blank, voting D, etc.). Pretty sad.

I don’t believe they have, but we are learning more and more about them every day.

I disagree. The loonies are always there, but the democrats can do well when they keep them in their cage. The loonies nominated McGovern and Nixon carried 49 states. So they run an ostensible moderate in Carter and win. Reagan beats their brains in twice and Bush I once, so Clinton puts together the Democrat Leadership Council, proclaims the era of big government is over and wins twice. Obama was an experiment in what happens if you let the lunatics run things. They’ve run wild for 16 years, but now they’re utterly spent because their ideas are so insane. There’s going to be a “moderate” backlash, and there’s going to a hell of a fight because the crazies like running wild

No

The Left is wholly governed by their emotions and their narcissism. It is impossible for them to learn anything. They simply reject any facts and data that challenge their feelings.

Funny now they were all for “defending Democracy” right up until people actually voted.

More importantly, Republicans learned from 2020,how to fight back against the Democrats who tried to steal 2024.

Elon Musk freeing Twitter from Democrat control was the beginning of freedom from information suppression that was used as a weapon.

They will never learn-—they have become embroiled with actual HATRED toward anything “not socialism”.
I overheard a woke neighbor speaking to another woke neighbor saying—”I don’t understand-—this is all so unexpected-—where did it go wrong”?

Seriously? The economy isn’t bad enough? Open borders and rampant crime? Support of Mutilating kids and drag queens? Did you think we would continue to sit back and be labeled “Nazis, Christian nationalists, Trash, bigots, racists, etc”?

Talk about clueless——these people need Christ or they will NEVER wake up.

The left wouldn’t be the left if it learned something. Did they learn anything from any of the spectacular failures of socialist regimes of the past? Leftist gonna leftist. It’s their organized religion which they follow blindly.

A very few have. They will slowly wake up and join RFK and Tulsi, and others. Most however will continue down their path of destruction. Their time is ending.

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

Absolutely. If you can knock down that firewall of blind faith and cult loyalty that everyone with an “R” can never do wrong.
