Savoring the brutal election lessons for Democrats: Expect all hell to break loose within the Democrat party, with powerful key factions at each others’ throats
American Thinker ^ | 11/03/2021 | Thomas Lifson

Expect all hell to break loose within the Democrat party, with powerful key factions at each others’ throats. Voters in multiple states repudiated the radical wing of the Democrat party that had seized control of the party’s agenda.

Republicans swept the statewide offices in Virginia, a state that had recently tantalized Democrat hopes of national dominance by swinging from red to purple to blue. Even if Phil Murphy ends up winning the governorship of New Jersey as troves of mail-in ballots are added to the totals when counting resumes in the morning (a story replicating what happened in some swing states in 2020), the message is clear: the public does not want to enact the vision of the Squad as our new reality.

Minneapolis voters rejected replacement of the city’s police department with a social worker-laden Department of Public Safety by 12 point margin. This in a city that has twice elected radical Ilhan Omar. Buffalo, NY voters corrected their mistake in a low turnout primary election that nominated radical socialist India Walton as the Democrat candidate for mayor, and wrote-in the name of incumbent Mayor Byron Brown by a large margin. Voters do not want the radical agenda enacted.

The prospects for the Democrats’ Build Back Bankrupt bill ever becoming law just became vanishingly small.  As Charles C.W. Cooke asks the right questions:

 Why on earth would Senators Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, Maggie Hassan, and Catherine Cortez Masto continue to acquiesce with their party’s extraordinarily foolish attempt to shove a set of FDR-sized spending programs through a 50–50 Senate? Such as: Why on earth would a swathe of moderate House Democrats agree to go along with it, when, by all appearances, they are already going to have their work cut out for them next year? (snip)

Oh I know, I think McAuliffe knows the party is too left, and he tried to say what he thought would please them.

It’s kind of like Romney when he tries to sound conservative, he just digs a deeper hole.

Not sure if you’ve seen, but they’ve already said that. So, if you HADN’T seen it, congratulations! You were exactly right.

Correct. Democrats find no joy in life. They have no sense of humor or irony. They will demand human sacrifice over this. It’s the only thing they really enjoy on so many levels.

I am no fan of Dick Morris but early last night on Newsmax he said that the radicals like Georgie Stephanopolis were arguing this point when the Clinton Dems got shellacked in 1994.

The Marxist wing of the US Democrat party are like zombies. They just keep coming. We have to relentlessly wage political war on them forever.

Conservatives don’t live for this crap like they do. We tend to coast after a win. We cannot do that.

The Media will continue to carry water for Biden and Harris.

Less and less people pay attention to the "media" and they know it. Almost nobody reads a newspaper anymore. The average age of a viewer of the "nightly news" is about 73 and the FoxNews/CNN/MSNBC's of the world have spiraling ratings.

They mortgaged their future in order to fraudulently install a moronic retard into the White House that is devastating our country with his belief he is now the emperor of the world, and they expect that sane Americans are going to keep them in office? HAH!

My neighbor just had her head explode. She was frustrated about last night and other than media dispensed temper tantrums the party has fallen silent about it. I told her we had to have an election to find out what's really in the election, and that's up to the voters, not the ruling elites serving the Beltway.

She called me a few angry words and went back inside to stick her head in the oven.

The Demagogic Party is a collection of violent rival street gangs.
Rule number one of politics: politics is always and only about power. Other supposed rules are either restatements of that rule, or somehow a subset of it, or are not really rules.
Time to use the power. I'm talkin' to RINOs and other Assistant Democrats now.
Anyway, not a bad night, huh?
I may take the rest of the day off.

Ironically, the watershed moment for black voters in the U.S. should have been the infamous Bill Cosby rant at the NAACP annual convention back around 2004.

The rant itself was instructive, but what precipitated it was even more important. The timing of it was not a random coincidence. Cosby was complaining about the failure of the civil rights movement precisely because that year marked the first time in history that Hispanics surpassed blacks as the largest minority group in the U.S.

At that moment the writing should have been on the wall for every black American. Nobody needed to pander to them anymore except for fading, pathetic white politicians. You had winning candidates like George W. Bush and Barack Obama speaking campaign slogans in Spanish, while nobody was speaking "ebonics" on the campaign trail except a broken-down old white loser, Hillary ("Ah ain't no ways tahrred!") Clinton.

I’m sure the uniparty is thoroughly sickened. It’s now obvious they have nobody behind them. McConnell and Co. are down to just dry heaving vomit on the floor.

The media will continue their attack on white racists who were so ignorant they voted for a black person as VA Lt. Gov.!

Don’t kid yourselves..

The Messages will be.

“We were not left, ENOUGH”

and

“The right wing press suppressed us. We were not able to get our message out”.
