Time for Democrats to accept reality
The Hill ^ | 04/19/19 | ELIZABETH HARRINGTON

Posted on 04/19/2019 7:43:29 PM PDT by little jeremiah

Democrats have been living in a fantasy world since the clock struck midnight after November 8, 2016. Rather than accept reality and the results of historic victory of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in the last presidential election, Democrats have clutched to conspiracy theories.

The first fantasy was that the 2016 election was tainted by “fake news.” When that backfired, because after all it was the mainstream media that had to apologize for its biased coverage of the race, the narrative had to change. Democrats then settled on another conspiracy theory, hand woven by the Clinton campaign and deeply entrenched within the Obama administration Justice Department that was led by collusion truthers.

It could not be that their unlikeable, untrustworthy, and inauthentic candidate, dogged by decades of scandals, who never bothered to campaign in Wisconsin had fairly and resoundingly lost to a man who connected with the forgotten men and women of this country with a clear and strong agenda. Democrats had to find a new scapegoat. They claimed that Vladimir Putin plotted to “subvert an election” and that Russia helped “swing it for” Trump. We have been living in their fantasy world where every single thing revolves around Russia ever since 2016.

Democrats and the wing pundits concocted a conspiracy in which Trump was a “Russian asset” compromised by Putin. The reality is that Trump is tougher on Russia than Barack Obama, who had “more flexibility” in his relationship with the Kremlin. After an exhaustive review spanning two years, the special counsel found no collusion. The investigation “did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”

Democrats have been living in a fantasy world where words can lose all meaning.

Time for Democrats to accept reality

Not possible they live in their own heads.

...Trump would unwind much of 0bama’s Marxism.

______________________________________

Because they believed in their own ability to shape a narrative and Americans are smarter than they know. zer0’s Marxism was all top-down. It was the Orwellian boot on your face magnified by MiniTru and everyone knows it.

What they did do was terrify American voters enough to take a chance on a maverick like Donald.

Donald delivered. He will now have a mandate to implement more pro-American policies.

We do need indictments and concerted force against vote fraud. I am certain our guys know this.

Schiff still believes there was "collusion."

Schiff was reading from cue cards but he just had laser surgery to reduce his bug eyes......and had trouble reading.

He was supposed to say:"I'm a lying self-dealing Democrat who's dying to be president so I will say anything to get myself on tv."

Unfortunately he misread it and said:"Trump is Unpatriotic – Doesn’t Matter If He’s Innocent. He still colluded."

The top dogs know the truth. They are just cheerleading for their tribe in hopes of stemming their already-apparent losses.

The bulk of declared prog voters are on a gradient from fingers in their ears/la-la-la-la to walking away. Every percentage point of walk-aways or non-voters helps us.

It used to be we could confidently say 20% of the electorate would always vote D without question. Ds win with percentages in the 40s. They use discouragement and division tactics to get that other 20%.

My contention is that they have lost at least half of that second 20%, with more to follow.

“They” are not an amorphous blob. Some are hardcore raving lunatics, some are so brainwashed there is no hope for them, some are evil. Some are just simple minds who have only heard lies and can wake up. They are just individuals and some can change.

I used to be a hardcore commie myself and changed.

They don’t even believe their own bulls*** at this point.

They realize that their chokehold on control and money is over and they are like rats in a corner jumping and biting.

I agree. Their influence and numbers are as magnified as the size of the actual wizard of Oz. The media is their curtain and fewer and fewer people believe the media; also Hollyweird as you noted. The majority of Americans are sick of their s***!

The Author realizes she is talking about the Democrats, right?


Since that’s the headline, it’s the way to bet.

“Democrats” are not one entity.

Many are jumping ship. Blexit and Walk Away are two such movements, and at Trumps’ last rally 34% of attendees were Dems. Many Dem rank and file voters are being driven away from the Dem party by the hardcores.

Progs are totally divided on impeachment. Nancy had to give Steny a tuneup so he’d walk back his opinion and even Schiff-for-brains has backed off

They are divided only in their heads.

War stems from the gut, and the heart, and in those places they are unified. And why not?

They have been winning for a century, and more.

Nancy can't stop what is about to happen.

The thing is, Nancy and the Elites, not to be confused with the emo band of the same name, see the Cliff of Socialism approaching and are digging their heels in. But the Progessives, ACO ,and Bernie have been granted so much gravitas by the press, the party is being dragged ever left. This is a good thing. Nancy wouldn’t be trying to stop it if it weren’t.

Oh, and welcome to FR. You’ll come to regret that screen name. :)

Future Outcomes for the Democrats and Democrat Party:

- They will internally destroy themselves, politically.

- Russians, Chinese, Iranians, North Koreans, Turks, Radical Muslims will defeat USA military, as Democrats will destroy our military capability, internally. These enemies will promptly get rid of the excess traitor Democrat, Socialist, Communist scum & vermin population.

- USA will have second Civil War and traitor Democrats & their Media will be slaughtered off the face of the Earth!!!

- Traitor/Turncoats, Democrats will try to slaughter Israel and all Jews...but they will fail miserably and it is they whom will be defeated and destroyed....”NEVER AGAIN”!!!

And, not sure of it's good or bad, but he's lost support of the muscle.

He's got the Boomer Fox News Base left and well, we know how that will end up. Lawn chairs, flags and a lot of "imagine if a Republican did this..."
