EDITORIAL: Democrats remain in deep denial over election defeat
reviewjournal ^ | January 1, 2025 | editorial

Posted on 01/03/2025 12:24:48 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Many Democrats remain comically befuddled over how they lost two of the past three presidential elections to Donald Trump. As one might expect from those obsessed with gender and identify politics, they now engage in projection, chalking up the defeats to a sexist and misogynist electorate.

“Will the U.S. ever be ready for a female president?” trumpeted a recent New York Times headline. The story quotes Bill Clinton, whose wife, Hillary, lost the 2016 election to Mr. Trump. “Ideologically, the people who are most likely to be against women are most likely to be conservative,” he said.

Republicans should rejoice at this line of thinking because it highlights the level of denial bubbling up in progressive political corners. Kamala Harris didn’t lose because voters were uncomfortable with her ethnicity or gender. She lost because she was a bad candidate forced to defend an unpopular administration that had unleashed 9 percent inflation, $5 a gallon gasoline and other indignities upon the American public.

IMO-—FEMALE MAYORS/HOUSE REPS/SENATORS/JUDGES HAVE PROVEN THAT ELECTING A WOMAN PRESIDENT MAY NEVER HAPPEN.

WHEN A SUPREME COURT FEMALE JUDGE SAYS SHE CANNOT DEFINE A “WOMAN” THAT is a serious deficiency of brains.

In their never ending quest for absolute power Democrats pushed for replacing Americans and fraud friendly voting. They will now pay a huge price because both methods are about to change.

In fact, I hope the rat party never wins another election ever again.

Paywall.

Besides, why is a ‘right/center news publication asking questions which only serve to help the dems?

Maybe because they’re NOT ‘right/center’? How the heck am I to know? Subscription required.

Let them wallow and continue lying to their peon electorate and to hell with ‘news’ publications such as LVRJ.

Bro you got security issues. Work on them.

SO MANY “men” in the dem pary would likely say the same thing.

MEN are leading the dems to hellk like Newsom in CA.

And you KNOW there are plenty of conservative women in congress.

Why would you say such silliness?

Gotta work on that.

Brown-Jackson has the brains, but it’s been brainwashed out of all common sense and reality.

Deep denial. Let’s keep it that way.

Suggestion: Give to Green Party candidates.

America is “ready” for a female President now and has been for some time. The problem is that the Dems aren’t ready for any “woman” who isn’t a far left radical feminist and so cut the field down to candidates that can’t pass muster with the rest of the country.

“Ideologically, the people who are most likely to be against women are most likely to be conservative,” he said.

That's interesting, because Trump got the same 74-77m in 2020 and 2024... it is the racist and misogynist Democrats who had 81m votes for Biden, and only 74m for Kamala, 65m for Hillary, 65 and 69m for Obama. At a minimum, 7m Democrats refused to vote for the minority female but voted for the old white male.

At a Christmas party at the White House in 1984, Geraldine Ferraro, recently defeated as Mondale's running mate, asked President Reagan if there would ever be a woman president.

Without hesitation, Reagan said, "Yes! And she'll be a Republican!"

Do you remember this fascinating story from 2017: What if Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton Had Swapped Genders?

An NYU professor studied the Clinton-Trump debates and staged a stage play that recreated the debate with one change - the woman played Donald Trump and recited Trump's debate lines and the man played Hillary Clinton and recited Clinton's debate lines. Other than that, the two actors recreated the body language, mannerisms, and stage maneuvers of their depicted candidate.

The professor held two performances and asked the audience members to fill out pre- and post-performance questionnaires about their voting beliefs of the two candidates. The attendees were shocked by their own results after they saw Clinton's words through the body of a man, and Trump's words coming from a woman. Attendees were impressed by Trump's words when they saw them coming from the woman, and disgusted by Hillary's when it came from the man.

The full article is worth the read (click on the NYU link at the top of the thread), and shows that it was all about Hillary Clinton herself and not some vague excuse of misogyny. The same was true for Harris.

They keep trying to use the old tired playbook. They keep hammering harder, double don on race and gender politics, climate changge and Ukrainian Ghosts fight for democrazy. Toss out the book—let Obama have it back, Find a new book.

Fixed it, Bill.

It appears that your confusion is that you think that bl*wjobs by women on your staff [ahem!] are the secret to saving the Republic.

Last night I watched the MSM coverage of election night. They had brilliant experts with PHD’s and journalists of impeccable reputations. I left depressed! Obviously Trump lost in a landslide to the brilliant Kamala Harris. Then it occurred to me that Trump won convincingly both in the popular vote and the electoral college. How can it be that this cabal of brilliant elitists could be so wrong. It was interesting to watch their faces turned dour as the night progressed.

Today, Hakeem Jeffries: Our side has no election deniers, but there’s a cloud of illegitimacy around Trump’s election due to Russian interference.

Do they ever stop lying and denying?
