There’s almost nothing worse than getting dumped. You’ve done everything right. You had all the money in the world — a billion dollars! You had all the celebrities — Harrison Ford, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Meryl Streep and Barbra Streisand! Who could ask for anything more? Well, it turns out 76 million people.
This wasn’t just a “don’t call me, I’ll call you” or “we can still be friends” or “maybe someday in the future we could…” No, this was a “get lost, lose my number, forget you ever knew me” kind of break-up. The Democrats aren’t handling it well, to put it mildly.
They’re shaving their heads. They’re uninviting family members to Thanksgiving. They’re obsessing over everything Trump is doing and saying, refusing to go quietly. In other words, they’re turning into Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.
It isn’t enough to blame the “woke” and the crazies for the collapse of the empire. It goes much deeper than that. Yes, they’ve lost their minds, and Americans are fleeing faster than rats off a sinking ship, but the truth is the Democrats orchestrated their own demise. Even those who think they get it, don’t really.
Bill Maher, for instance, is given pats on the back for kind of, sort of getting it but if you listen really close, you’ll hear the tell-tale TDS worming its way in. Trump is crazy, his voters are dumb.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, Democrats, but this isn’t 2004, as Nate Silver has proclaimed. It isn’t 1988 or 2000, either. No, you must go much further to find a period like the one we’re living through now. You have to go back to 1972.
More specifically, the swing between 1968 and 1980, as Ben Shapiro has often discussed in books and on his podcast. His comment was one of the things that drew me to the Right because, finally, someone said something that made sense. He tweeted this in the Summer of 2020, though it would be four more years before 1980 actually arrived.
And 1980 has arrived right on time. That makes me think it’s not about just four more years of Trump. This is the long game. This is probably 12 years of Republican rule.
Navigating a moment like this depends on confronting the truth, not the preferred truth, not the denial, but the real reason why Trump won such a massive victory after the Democrats spent almost ten years trying to destroy him. The answer isn’t to double down on Trump being a “monster” or a “fascist” or a “sociopath.” All that will do is postpone the inevitable, and it will only make Trump more popular.
No, this is a moment to allow the empire to collapse completely and rebuild from scratch, to think about what the party stands for and what direction they wish to take this country. They’ve lost their way and lost their purpose. Even if someone isn’t exactly thrilled with voting for Trump, the thought of handing power to the Democrats remains the more risky option....SNIP
Democrats were always the thing that Americans didn’t want they just got so arrogant they didn’t hide their intentions as well as before.
The current Post-modern Democrat party does not live in the world of reality. It’s really sick the harm the Democrats and their media have done to their own supporters. The indoctrination and imaginary “facts” they use as a form of control have terrible results in their emotionally unstable followers, but they don’t care. We should pray that the Democrat followers find reality and realize how badly they’ve been lied to and manipulated.
What a load of humbug❗ Over half of the American people have no idea what is good for them (a Democrat Party dictatorship, of course); thus self destruction will lead them back to a totalitarian state.
There's a winning message from our elitist betters⤵🚮
I know we’ve had inflation in recent years.
But still sounds like a lot of money , to think that Kamala spent a billion dollars.
And reportedly the Kamala campaign is millions in debt.
Listen to audio, pretty clever/unique way for her to present her podcast, which is 22 minutes long, but the last 4 minutes is the Police song Every Breath You Take.
I guess she can be classified as a American film blogger, who was an unwavering Democrat supporter, who somehow was seductively lured away from the "cool party" to the party of "Hitler" that is purposely hurtful, hateful, paternally oriented, religiously, bigoted, white males who promote the head rapist who she came to appreciate & respect, and now is telling the Democrats, the romance is over. You had it all, but your justified insecurity was caused by their own desertion from their previously stated goals, that made her realize that she was just being used by them.
Result being, they will have to do a lot of soul searching and wait at least a decade to even begin to be reconsidered.
It's an interesting prestation, and it's so refreshing to hear.
That’s right.
Superb post!
I’ve heard #2 this week from a coworker. Says RFK Jr. is crazy for picking up roadkill and dumping it in Central Park, brain worms, anti-vaxx, etc.
These past RFK Jr past positions on issues doesn’t scream sanity!
You can see not only his long history of extreme far left views below, but also what FReepers have historically thought of him at these links. Acting like someone is being unreasonable by being skeptical of RFK Jr. requires ignoring who he is. If he has truly renounced all of this and has done a 180 degree turn from what he has advocated for over the course of decades in literally the last few months, fine and dandy. But that is difficult to believe someone could turn on a dime and change that dramatically in such a short period of time.

The headline is all I need and it’s fabulous.
He’s a lefty alright. Hopefully, it will show how crazy THEY are.
You got that right! There’s a subset of freepers who seem to search for a way to assume everything is bad, hopeless. They live in a bizarro world of negative.
I suggest laughing at them, or getting your phone out and talking into it, “Hello, Mental Health Ward? Yes, I have someone who needs a ride!”
I’ve long been skeptical of the value of celebrity endorsements. Hopefully the vast amount squandered on such this time will help the decline of endorsements. Who gives a damn what these people think?
There has NEVER been a leftwing prediction that has come true.
Naturally time will tell, but at the moment I see zero interest on the part of the Dems in enduring the necessary self-reflection and taking the necessary steps. Zero recognition that the Republicans are now the party of the working and middle classes and the Dems are the party of wealthy elites and dependent serfs. Zero intention to move from their emphasis on Woke, Green, and Transgender toward something a little more mainstream, because mainstream is where the votes are. The most we might hope for is that the two by four they’ve just taken between the eyes will succeed in getting their attention.
The only ones I see that have come true are ones they manufactured.
