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
Will the Republicans look at the long game? I hope so, but the RINOs may have other ideas.
The long game will be here soon.
The outcome of Trump’s White House picks will tell everything.
Lets hope and pray he picks better than he did in his first term.
FReepers always have to be the first to throw cold water on every piece of good news. This is a major change in America and Trump is going to clear the way for future MAGA leaders.
“Let’s hope and pray he picks better than he did in his first term.”
Oh. You think he picked them because he thought they would drain the swamp? In four years with the entire government and pentagon behind him? After eight years of swooning over Obama, the real problem?
Yes, yes and yes. The long game is still very much against us and articles like this are just fun for the moment. But I think Trump is the man for these times.
California is perhaps the biggest key. Trump can turn it red and if he does.....it’s all over but the hymn singing from here on. LEFT wing marxism is like a Cancer that has to be eradicated from the body. The cancer is California.
They thought they could turn Texas and that failed miserably. But Trump can turn California. And if he does.....say goodnite gracie.
“if he does.....it’s all over but the hymn singing ...”
The Invitation hymn. I’m going with “Just As I Am”.
It would be the work of a generation to unbrainwash California. Second, Trump will never run for office again. He made that clear a few months ago.
Excellent article that offers a very compelling explanation for why Democrats were routed in 2024. Nice job, Sasha.
0bama is who started the destruction of this country. I blame him for most of the mess we are in now.
The comments at the link are very good.
I especially liked this one……..
“ Within this past week, these “facts” have been reported to me by at least six Democrat women:
1. Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian agent.
2. RFKJ is an anti-vaxer and he is also crazy.
3. Trump is going to cancel the Constitution and refuse to leave office at the end of his term because he is a dictator, because he said so.
4. Trump, Vance, and Republican men in general hate women. (Notwithstanding the new female appointees, including the Chief of Staff.) Thus, it is dangerous to walk down the streets of New York City (in the State of New York, where Harris beat Trump by 16 percentage points).
Even their male neighbors who’ve lived next door in the same building since 1985 are potential rapists.
5. Trump is going to deport everyone born in a foreign country, including U.S. citizens who have lived, worked, owned property, and paid taxes here for 40 years.
7. Trump is going to ban free speech, isolate us from the rest of the world, take away our health care, make us poor, and kill us.
When Tucker interviewed Mark Halperin last month, Halperin predicted that if Trump won, we would see the worst mental health crisis in the country’s history. I’m seeing clinical signs of actual nervous breakdowns. I’m genuinely worried about them, but I can’t say anything since they get really angry when I don’t validate their fears.
Please, if any of their predictions have merit to any extent at all, please let me know so I can give them pep talks and tell them they’re right.”
I wonder if Hollyweird even has a clue that regular Americans don’t want to know your opinion on any topic. You’re an entertainer and nothing more. Who GAS what you say or do or think? Certainly not me.
Another truth to add, we aided to their demise. Much like a bullfighter dodges and spears the on rushing beast.
Ya. Thats not the point I was making It wasn’t in your original post
Millions of libs and moderates got scared straight by Joe Bidens open borders etc. And that Kamala would be more of the same wrecking of America.
These libs and moderates did not like Trump’s style, I suppose. But were scared into voting for him. Fear of Biden-Harris was a great motivator!
Or not voting at all— Which was all good too!
That reads like their main goal is the continuation of the Party. It reads like the party doesn't exist to attain goals, but they establish goals so that the party can exist.
If that's the case, the party needs to cease to exist and a new party arise in its place, or people with new goals need to take over the party.
But it's not like that. Trump won with 50.1% of the vote and Harris lost wit 48.3%. Those who opposed Trump's policies amounted to almost half the voters.
If the score of a basketball game was 50 to 48 at the half, who would think that the team with the lower score didn't have a chance to come out on top?
The Democrat Party is not out of the game--yet.
The Democrats imported millions of illegal invaders, perfected election fraud, and fought like gutter rats to secure a permanent Democrat majority in all branches of the Federal Government. They came close to succeeding.
However, enough Americans recognized their ugly designs and blocked their evil coup d'état on November 5, 2024.
What historic irony if the Democrats' Grand Plan should backfire enough to provide a permanent majority of patriotic, ascendant Americans committed to Making America Great Again in all branches of the US Federal Government!
If their evil scheme should hoist them on their own petard!
Clio, the Muse of History, has an outrageous sense of humor.
I would change this sentence:
“You’ve done everything right.”
To:
“You think you’ve done everything right.”
