The Democrats Won’t Autopsy Their Own Corpse
Townhall.com ^ | November 17, 2016 | Kurt Schlichter

Posted on 11/17/2016 4:58:24 AM PST by Kaslin

The Democrats already know the cause of their utter electoral humiliation: all those flyover people who had voted for Obama last time were actually racists who demonstrated their racism by not voting for the tired old white lady too.

Far be it for me to help out you terrible Democrat clowns by suggesting that your terrible party has a terrible problem and you might want to figure out how to fix it. Sure, Hillary did get a lot of votes. Maybe even a majority of votes. And, considering we are not a democracy but a constitutional republic, of equal relevance is the fact that I own a hat.

You lost. And it’s because you suck.

Now, you and rest of the unshaven she-beasts and spindly femboys could take this opportunity for reflection and introspection following the election instead of retreating to your campus safe spaces for vegan cookies and awkward hugs. You could try to figure out where you went wrong losing so many voters who you used to have sewn up. The idea is to figure out how you might be able to prevent similar results in the future. Some call it a “post-event analysis.” In the Army – for the goatee n’ scarf gang, that’s the one that fights on the ground – we call it an “after action review.” Coroners call it an “autopsy.”

And you’ll never, ever do it. Why? Because you are liberals and you already have your answers.

Everyone is racist.

Everyone is sexist.

Everyone is stupid.

Everyone but you, that is. You, the ones the racist, sexist, stupid people beat like a NFL player’s wife.

And speaking of the NFL, have you noticed how its own autopsy of its own dying ratings also seems to have a predetermined outcome, one that studiously avoids any unwelcome conclusions?

Oh, it’s too many ads.

Oh, it’s too many penalties.

Oh, it’s the election.

Anything missing? Anything significant to, say, the kind of people who used to like football? I dunno, maybe the NFL’s coddling of spoiled jerks who disrespect the flag?

Nah. I mean, what kind of uneducated, racist moron would object to some gratuitous flag hating?

Hmmm. Maybe the kind of people who aren’t watching the NFL anymore.

And maybe this might provide an insight for the Democrat Party. Maybe the answer might not be what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. Maybe some of those missing voters think there are more important things to do than ensuring our tax money gets spent dismembering babies, making heroes out of thugs who got themselves shot, or trying to ensure that grown men can pee freely among little girls.

Nah. If Americans outside the big blue cities don’t care about the social obsessions of aging hippies, indoctrinated millennials, and frigid feminists, then they’re wrong. You can probably fix everything by redoubling your efforts to show them how horrible they are.

Call them “racist” even louder.

Call them “sexist” even more shrilly.

Call in Lena Dunham and have her waddle out to rural Pennsylvania to explain why white men need to be exterminated. I’m sure that’ll win back those Trump-voting guys and gals. And when they start muttering “There’s not enough Rolling Rock in Pittsburgh,” it means they think she’s hot.

Plus, don’t forget to pay more unemployed deadbeats to march around waving Mexican flags and burning American ones. Normal people love that. The whole “#NotMyPresident”/”I hate the Electoral College yet still I saw Hamilton twice” thing is helpful too. Nothing like telling the rest of America “Heads we win/tails you lose.”

But, of course, why pretend to respect their opinions when you don’t respect their opinions. They like guns and America and Jesus, and frankly those things are, at best, embarrassing if not downright horrible. I mean, #Science, right?

Yeah, I played the #Science card. Case closed. Who needs to even talk to the idiots who are clearly too stupid to understand that their role is to rubberstamp the political manifestations of liberal fads and urban mysticism. I mean, some of those people work in fracking and just don’t understand that despite the ever-growing series of “This is it, we’re doomed, we really, really mean it this time” milestones falling back in society’s collective rear-view mirror, the weather obsessions of blue city neurotics are much, much more important than them feeding their families.

Because, of course, #Science.

No, you can’t identify and fix your cheesy party’s problems because your ridiculous ideology already compels your conclusions. Why bother assembling and analyzing the facts when you know what the answer will be, what it must be: racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, and whatever other faux-phobias that come slinking out of academia to give you an excuse to hector and nag normal people.

When your whole party is based on virtue signaling, you don’t have a lot of options except more virtue signaling. So you’ll stick safety pins in your $600 sweaters, retweet your powerful hashtags, and unfriend anyone who doesn’t think exactly like all you nonconformist rebels. The more adventurous among you liberal bravehearts will courageously call for a California secession – well, my new novel previews how things will go for you without having any of those normal people you look down upon around to keep you fed and fueled and safe. Let’s just say it would go poorly.

And when you come back to report that the corpse of your party is alive and well and that rumors of the Democrat Party’s death have been greatly exaggerated, I’m going to smile, because you have 25 Senate seats up in 2018, many in red states, and the GOP needs just eight for a filibuster-proof majority. Go ahead, double down on what got you to this point, the point where I can drive from sea to shining sea without touching a patch of blue. You’re doin’ swell!

So enjoy your party’s fake autopsy – I know I will.

The electoral college system was designed to reward broadness, not just overall depth, of appeal.

Donald played that like a violin, as has every other successful presidential candidate who has respected the system.

Well, Bully for them!! Between an incompetent Boob in the white hut, and a career crime-family head as their POTUS candidate, and a "dumb as a stump" voting population, its a wonder they can zip up their pant or tie their shoes without outside help and pre-printed instructions.

There’ll probably BE a new third party to rival the GOP, and then we’ll be talking about another color on the map. Maybe green, or yellow. Political nature abhors vacuums. I am guessing that this new third party will be some form of libertarian. It is conservative in some senses, liberal in others. It is not easy to peg as left or right in our accustomed sense.

Democrats also prevented an autopsy on Justice Scalia’s corpse.

You know, because he was murdered.

No deep analysis needed to explain why Hillary lost. The Democrats ignored white working class people, and white working class people in the Rust Belt told the Democrats to go pound sand.

The circumstances appeared highly suspicious. However, I see a dimension of activity, a spiritual dimension, in the country, both to evil and to good. Was it possible that Scalia simply was in worse health than he could have been, due to being overweight and a smoker. And so really did die of natural causes, though part of them being what he embraced himself. I don’t think that was impossible. Maybe we should make Weight Watchers memberships a perk of being on the USSC (but again that would also help keep Sotomayer around).

God “works all things to the good of those who believe in Him” and maybe the uncertainty of Scalia being gone was part of the formula that revealed to America the importance of supporting an otherwise flawed person like Donald Trump.

Anyhow I’d say it seems suspicious, but there’s no way we can prove it; it isn’t even on the level of Vince Foster.

I think the Dems have already come to the conclusion that they can never again run a White candidate for POTUS. It will depress their base too much. Which is why they will run Cory Booker (Obama II) in 2020.

My hope is that they do to themselves what the Labor party in the UK has done to itself; that is: go so hard Left that they turn themselves into a permanent minority party. As despicable as Hillary was, she was actually a moderate in a Democratic party that is fundamentally communist — and increasingly open about it.

No. A plurality. No one received a majority.

The people who created these “useful idiots” need to be rounded up and sent to a “sensitivity camp” so they can better understand how the white American male and our Constitution really work. Their warped sense of believing white American Christian males are the devils spawn has only proven once again why the Democrats were wrong forcing states to close down mental institutions because of their insensitivity.

Not quite. Every other candidate in modern times has been a creature of the Establishment. Donald brilliantly beat the entire Establishment like a drum.

My guess is that the game plan was for the election to be Jeb Bush vs. Hillary Clinton—and for Jeb to lose like a “gentlemen”.

Yet they keep beating the same dead horse, that all these voters are stupid/evil.

I have seen that over the years, there are many cases where liberals become conservatives, either though being "mugged" (physically or conceptually) or they get older or more educated. This is not uncommon.

Why does the same process not occur for conservatives, that is, people who are conservatives become liberals by some mechanism?

The reason is simple, spelled out by David Horowitz in his great book Radical Son. Liberals lack introspection. There is never the need, inclination or even the concept that they should examine their premises or reevaluate their positions. They NEVER look at their beliefs and say "Could I be wrong about this?"

Conservatives engage in that process constantly, as we are bombarded daily with a multitude of viewpoints contradicting our own. As Nancy Pelosi does, Liberals live in a plastic bubble, supplied with air, food and information from the likes of NBC, ABC, CBS, The New York Times, The Boston Globe and The Washington Post.

Heck, if I lived on a steady diet of that, why would I ever take a moment to re-check my premises?

Did not know that. Very encouraging.

Everything in sequence.

First, the stake through the heart. Then was can discuss the autopsy.

This is a good thing. It means they won’t learn from their mistakes. All the better for conservatives.

Related: They only learn from their successes, but they learn the wrong lessons. Example: They think they won in 2008 and 2012 by running a candidate from an oppressed special interest group (black). They were right on that. So they thought it would work with a woman in 2016. It didn’t. Now they are doubling down by putting a muslim in charge of the DNC. I predict that will fare even worse.
