“there are still a lot of people who support the meanness and ignorance and tearing each other apart” that she saw Trump as representing.

How in the world can a leftist possibly say that with a straight face after all the lies, distortions, and attempts at dehumanization the left has perpetrated (with violent results) against Trump, his supporters, and Republicans in general since the election? And after all the riots, efforts to shut down conservative free speech, illegitimate race-baiting and false accusations to stir up social unrest, encouraging assassinations as "art," non-stop hatred from snowflakes who didn’t get their way in November and can't accept different opinions, and all the condescension and disgust directed towards hard-working, law-abiding, patriotic Americans who are not hard-leftists or criminals? These intolerant loons need to look in the mirror and stop targeting us for their own sins.

His support was overwhelmingly from out of state. Doesn’t help you get alocal office.

on a more serious note, despite my earlier facetious post, the russians kept Dem voters from the polls by making it rain with pne of their weather modification satellites, knowing that Dems melt in the rain and therefore would have to stay home to avoid such deadly weather.

“His polls started crashing about a week out.”

personally, i felt that the earlier polls were totally fake and that the fake stream media simply slightly moved the results closer to reality as the election got closer to avoid yet another debacle of failed polls.

“Most of the Ossoff volunteers I met were local residents who had grown up somewhere else, longtime Democrats who had long felt outnumbered.”

That figures. They’re just carpetbaggers, who infiltrate new places not to act as polite guests but to take over and change the values and nature of the area. Disgusting.

“Her hopes dashed, a dejected Hazel Hunt made her way through the crowd carrying a canvas on which she’d painted Ossoff’s portrait over an original poem, a limerick that began “There once was a country in pain.” Hunt’s green eyes were moist. “It’s very sad,” the middle-aged drama teacher...”

Middle-aged drama teacher. You don’t say!

Was it because his opponent recieved more votes?

After reading this long story, it appears the liberals still don't really know why Ossoff lost. (It's because liberalism is bad.)

And I'm glad they can't figure it out.

The candidates that do the best are the ones that lie by claiming to be moderates, or not liberals, Joe Manchin, for exa ple. But if they run as Democrats, they will vote liberal.

“It tells me that despite all the wonderful people I met in this campaign, there are still a lot of people who support the meanness and ignorance and tearing each other apart” that she saw Trump as representing.

Such as shooting people of the opposing party in a ballpark?

Or using a bike lock to crush a skull? Or pooping on a police car? Or starting fires? Or beating a co-worker with a walking stick?

I read about 50 random words of it, and came to the same conclusion.

“When she woke up on November 9 and saw Trump had won, Jessica Zeigler recalled, she felt sick to her stomach. Zeigler, a 32-year-old mother of three who works for a medical-device company, couldn’t bring herself to tell her 7-year-old son who had won when he asked. After some weeks of feeling lost, she discovered a secret liberal moms’ group on Facebook—her first foray into activism, and an emboldening hint that she was not alone.”

Holy crap this lady is so pathetic. She’s got mental issues in not being able to tell your child about an election result.

This author has a lot of chutzbah mentioning about secret liberal moms’ groups on Facebook. If anything liberal groups are the biggest open secret on that site.

The real reason he lost? White males can’t win as democrats in the deep south. Just ask John Barrow.

Why did Ossoff lose?????

He was an obviously bought and paid for liberal tool, too young, and lived outside the district. (we call them carpetbaggers here in Dixie)

People with any sense are sick and tired of demoncrap/libtard bullsqueeze.... and almost as sick and tired of establishment RINO bullsqueeze.

Revolution is brewing... Politicians, if you sow the wind, you will reap the whirlwind.

Despite the opposition Trump has galvanized

Galvanizing his opposition? That sounds like a great idea, with President Trump doing something from the James Bond villain handbook. Zincfinger, you're the man with the galvanic touch. I would pay to see some of the Dems plated in zinc.
