The Fault, Dear Democrats, Is in Yourselves

In the aftermath of the election, Democrats are engaging in public blame-shifting, while avoiding accountability for their own policies and elite disconnect, which alienated voters and led to defeat.

Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, But in ourselves.” – William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

“They had learned nothing and forgotten nothing.” – Often attributed to Charles-Maurice de Talleyrand

The Democratic election postmortem immediately descended into public blame-gaming—as expected. When Joe Biden was forced off the ticket in late July, the conspirators issued a party line that he was to be praised as a veritable George Washington—in the spirit of Washington’s farewell address of 1796 about why it was a good thing for the first president not to run for a third term.

So, we were lied to that Joe, the sitting President of the United States, was not forced out by Nancy Pelosi, the Obamas, George Clooney and the celebs, and the billionaire class. We instead were lectured that Biden, magnanimously as the neo-father of our country, selflessly bowed out to ensure Kamala Harris’s elevation as the nominee and, with it, a sure Democratic victory.

But now? After the Democratic train wreck, half the party is suddenly damning George Washington Joe for sticking around too long, even though party grandees cooked up the scheme in the first place of nominating the cognitively challenged Biden in 2020 to shut out his radical (and supposedly unelectable) primary rivals.

So, the message—not just the messengers—was toxic. But that said, the message was also delivered by a bicoastal elite, exuding hubris and superciliousness. This election, the left committed the two cardinal sins of American politics: one, never talk down to the American people as too stupid to appreciate the wisdom of their supposed elite betters; and two, never abandon the upwardly mobile aspirations and real struggles of the middle class.

Ping! Out to the Victor Davis Hanson list

Blue-state governors now posture and brag that they will stop the newly elected Trump—but from what exactly? Will they refuse his tainted federal funds? Spit at him when they ask for disaster relief help? Declare blue America “sanctuary states” that will nullify federal law and not pay federal taxes?

What does California governor Gavin Newsom mean by calling to session the California legislature to “resist” Trump? Will he order another Steele dossier pee-pee tape? Another Hillary Clinton 2016 call to join La Résistance?

Very, very good prose from Prof Hanson! Worth your time to read.

Dear Democrats? The evil is in their head. Criminal behavior is caused by criminal thinking. Inside the Criminal Mind - Stanton Samenow

[yldstrk]

Democrats are idealogues who want to remake the world the way they believe it ought to be. Donald Trump deals in reality.

[SaveFerris]

[The evil is in their head.]

Yes.

AND Their Godless Reprobate agendas, their constant lies, their constant cheating, their nuttiness, their deceitful methods. And more, frankly.

The Democratic Party has become the Party of Godless Evil on Constant Display

(pro-LGBTQ+)

All according to plan.

All according to Satan's plan.

Manchurian Candidate Barack Hussein Obama is a Godless Reprobate
false prophet doing (his true father's) Satan's work for a long time now

June 26, 2015 was the Rainbow White House



We already saw what Democrat Kamala Harris will do with born-again Christians; have them thrown out, just like she had done at her abortion rally.

Democrat Kamala Harris immediately freaking out over "Jesus is Lord!" is absolutely a clear warning to REAL Christians

Now, let's play "spot the tattoo" and "identify the tattoo"......at first I thought "Does this apply?" but figured it did and was CERTAIN that it did - his pro-abortion stance confirms what I already knew about Timmy Boy





Do NO harm Christians but pray, pray, pray!!!

[ronnie raygun]

They will never learn thier lesson because they truly believe they are smarter than us and are never wrong, we all know family members, friends and others with this arrogant attitude that can never be cured

[econjack]

The Democrats shot themselves in the foot when they selected Harris to replace the ousted Biden. Never mind the 14 million primary votes that were ignored. But, Democrats are the master of spin. What if they remove Joe as President, perhaps using the 25th Amendment or just talking him out of it? This gives the Democrats some favorable optics: 1) they can brag that the Democrats placed the first female in the WH, 2) they placed the first black female in the WH, 3) Hunter can be pardoned with no fallout on Joe, and 4) the political cost to the Democrats is zero because Harris is toast in the political sense.

It could happen...

[SaveFerris]

HEY, GODLESS DEMOCRAT KAMALA HARRIS:

JESUS CHRIST IS LORD

JESUS CHRIST IS
THE SON OF GOD

Pray for Kamala Harris to publicly repent of these evils and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, before this happens:

[Empire_of_Liberty]

Maybe the ‘Rats were hoisted on their own petard.

It could be that the disastrous debate was a test of POTATUS without his meds because they knew he could not be eating ice cream for the next four years. An even worse option for them, loomed as his VP.

When Joe failed the test, the ‘Rat handlers needed a way out. Now, they are blameless and remain unknown. The ‘Rat base is eager to accept this, as it exonerates them of blame, as well, since Harris had no primary.

A little finger pointing and the show goes on.

[poinq]

Democrats are constantly trying to align their understanding of the world with the propaganda they listen to and the reality that exists. The new lie about why Trump won the election has to replace the lie that Kamala was going to win. Just like with Hilary, they will conclude that Trump cheated or Russia or something even more bizarre, like the whole country is racist and straight men of all races suck. Of course this makes their potential electorate much smaller.

They have a core of black women, feminists, government employees and the sexually obsessed. This group is not larger enough. They need “allies”.

[SaveFerris]

PRAY that the Lord God does His DIVINE INTERVENTION to prevent the Democrats from doing more evil between now and noon, January 20, 2025

PRAY that the Lord God exposes any evil vote-rigging schemes with fake ballots - that people come forward and give evidence to such

PRAY for DIVINE PROTECTION for President 47 Donald Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance

[No.6]

They knew Kamel AND their policies were unelectable.

The plan was for Trump to be dead or in jail.

Then GOPe would toss up a designated loser to run a tepid campaign, throw the debate, and utter a few catch phrases to be used in Dem ads, as they did to help elevate the Kenyan.

[texas booster]

We can all argue that the MSM spin everything ... but trying to spin that Kamala is a better candidate than old Slow Joe ...

It was obvious from the beginning [to us] that the MSM was corrupt, and this election just confirmed it to any one that would listen.

[aquila48]

“It could happen...”

Not a snowflake chance in hell after the drubbing they got. And Joe and especially Jill are enjoying a big dose of schadenfreude right now. The junta that pushed them under the bus got their just dessert. They ain’t going nowhere until January.

[2nd Amendment]

Riddle of the day: A Democrat, a liar, a cheater, and a pervert were going into a bar. There was only one seat available but all were seated comfortably. How can this be?

[DannyTN]

Biden didn’t share his “most extensive and inclusive VOTER FRAUD organization in the history of American politics” with Kamala. But it likely remains in place for another day.

[2nd Amendment]

I still can’t figure out how Biden just gave the most upbeat coherent speech of his Presidency last week!

[joethedrummer]

lol!! It was Joe!! LOL!!! Good one!

[PGalt]

Yes

[Reddy]

“It could happen”

That’s why I am not buying any ‘47 merch yet. The demonrats are feral rats trapped in a corner. No telling what they might try to pull off.
