I really expected some introspection in these post-election days.

Just a little bit of “how could I have been so wrong?” would be appropriate right about now. You would think realizing that things were NOT as you imagined them while inside your echo chamber would trigger such a response. Especially after predicting a blue wave because everyone you knew was in agreement and the media confirmed it at every turn.

The Democrats didn’t simply wake up to a red wave on election night. They saw it coming, months, if not years before the polls closed. The warning signs were blaring, yet their responses were constrained by internal contradictions and were a massive miscalculation of their own base’s discontent with what transpired the past few years.

Scott Jennings at CNN tried to start the conversation soon after polls closed.

“I’m interpreting the results tonight as the revenge of just the regular ‘ol working class, the anonymous American who has been crushed, insulted, condescended to, they’re not garbage, they’re not Nazis, they’re just regular people who get up and go to work every day and are trying to make a better life for their kids and they feel like they have been told to just shut up, when they have complained about the things that are hurting them in their own lives”.

Jennings offered some insights about what this means for the media as well. This is relevant reflecting many media centered discussions that have occurred here.

“I also feel like this election is something of an indictment of the political information complex. Night after night after night we were told all these things were gonna somehow push Harris over the line and we were just ignoring the fundamentals! Inflation, people were barely able to tread water at best, that was the fundamentals of the election. We have to figure out how to understand, talk to, and listen to the half of the country that rose up tonight and said, ‘we’ve had enough.‘”

Of course, the CNN panel he was addressing looked on with blank stares.

I was hoping and praying those words would sink in and eased off on adding any commentary to allow a window for their redemption, and instead dumped my thoughts here as that realization had a chance to take hold.

Who was I kidding? Instead, while learning absolutely nothing, the leftists only response is to double down. The story now is that she ran a flawless campaign that overran her 1.5 billion dollar budget by 20 million and she still lost. Imagine what our nations budget would be after 4 years of her failed policies?

Instead, it was inferred that it was the voters who failed.

When you find yourself in a hole, the first rule of life is to stop digging. But they can’t stop digging because they don’t believe they’re in a hole, everyone else is. That’s the only conclusion you can really draw when you insult the people you’re asking for support from, which is what they do. They ran a campaign that reeked of the political class, and voters punished them dearly for it. Now, there is talk that Harris is the leading contender for 2028 for more of the same. Thankfully, her former staff have other ideas.

What was that definition of insanity again?

“Trump is not the disease. He is the symptom. The disease is political, cultural, and economic elites who keep telling the public what they should think, feel, and believe. And what did the public tell the elite in an overwhelming response on Tuesday? Go to hell!”

Let’s summarize their reactions:

  • First off, few have fled the country as promised but I’d expect some to flee justice when charges are eventually filed in the coming months.
  • Bette Midler to my knowledge has NOT consumed Drain-O as promised and Rob Reiner has not set himself on fire.
  • From The View: (paraphrasing) We would have won if we could have done away with the 1st Amendment and control all speech. Sunny (sure she is!) Hostin demanded that voters need to be “introspective” about why they didn’t vote like she told them to.
  • MSNBC has blamed everything from sexism, racism, the patriarchy, homophobia, pretty much everything but the Harris campaign that they feverishly worked so hard to prop up.
  • Alex Wagner noticed that blue-collar areas were especially fertile for Trump, a class that normally was a stronghold for the Democrats. She does not seem to grasp that maybe looking down your nose at working people was a motivating factor for them to look to the right.
  • Al Sharpton argued what others on the left have: that Kamala lost because of her gender, skin color, and the fact that she’s in an interracial marriage.
  • CBS News regurgitated that misinformation is the issue. That they believe anyone regards them as valid information – following weeks of deceptive reports including the “60 Minutes” editing scandal is beyond ridiculous.
  • David Corn was clearly bothered that if those Hispanics voters find themselves being deported, they might change their view of Trump. Except, deportations apply to illegal immigrants who cannot vote, and those now voting incorrectly are American citizens who will not be deported.
  • At the Guardian, we get: “Our mistake was to think that racism and misogyny were not as bad as they are, whether it applied to who was willing to vote for a supremely qualified Black woman or who was willing to vote for an adjudicated rapist and convicted criminal who admires Hitler.”

And on and on it goes.  It is utterly unbelievable to watch these people, who just got their proverbial butts handed to them, continue right on denigrating, disparaging, and demeaning the very people who just rolled over them.

At least Abby Phillips at CNN has, since the election, recognized that “elites increasingly talk only to each other and come to believe that because there is consensus among them that that consensus is shared broadly…”.

“Leftists’ inability for self-reflection, along with their self-righteousness and delusional sense of superiority, have been stunning to observe in the wake of the Republican’s sweeping victory.”
– Nicole Russell USA TODAY 

It is refreshing to see at least some media acknowledge the truth. Previously, Tech Giants were decidedly pro-censorship. Videos, articles, and opinions that differed from “the script” were banished and violators were de-platformed. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and the rest were deleting accounts, demonetizing content, and tilting the playing field against conservatives. With Musk’s purchase of Twitter, previous glaring examples of the sanctioned propaganda were no longer possible.

Donald Trump’s appearance on Joe Rogan’s podcast was a seminal moment of the campaign. Between YouTube and Spotify, it was viewed 50 million+ times. During that podcast, Trump questioned and criticized the results of the 2020 election.

Under the old rules, that video would’ve been banned!

But banning it wasn’t even an option anymore. YouTube and Facebook knew if they did, Elon Musk would call them out, shame them, and then publish it on X.

Disillusioned supporters have also been hard at it. For a while, I sat back, and logged my thoughts here but was simply amazed at what I was witnessing. I wasn’t looking to rub salt into their wounds but have seen enough of their endless denials, insults and threats and decided they deserve every bit of condemnation now coming their way as they themselves find the ridicule directed back at them.

But before we dive into that, let me summarize what happened on that Tuesday evening. Instead of everyone buying into their story that Trump is literally Hitler, the opposite occurred. Of the many exit polls reported was one that stated 74% of voters thought there was a significant threat to democracy in this election. They never follow up to identify that threat, but then combine those results with this chart making the rounds today. (I screen grabbed it from a video so is not the clearest display but was widely circulating).

What the chart is showing is voting trends that changed across the country. The chart illustrates that very few voters moved towards the leftist message and a vast swath of America moved to the right.

Another view by demographics:

This was not an anomaly. Yes, there WAS a threat to democracy – and the voters declared that the leftist progressives and their corrupt DOJ were that threat! Even pure liberals are calling them out now from all sides!

After enduring months here of being called a MAGA extremist white racist hillbilly who is leading the country into multiple disasters, I’d like to point out 2 things.

  1. Trump won with the largest share of the nonwhite vote of any Republican presidential candidate since the Civil Rights Act.
  2. Only 2 days after being elected and nowhere near taking office yet, we see these immediate signs of positive change, which is opposite of the doom that was predicted.

This was after being continually berated here at this site about his foreign policy.

“His tendency to shoot off his mouth (and the resulting word vomit that inevitably results) could literally propel us into WWIII. This is just one of the many things that we liberal elites learn when we go to college. Oh, but you know more because you “do your own research.”

Again, no reflection on what he did while actually in office. Just more projection fear of what could happen, without any acknowledgement of us being on the precipice of WWIII today under the Biden/Harris administration.

But, let us look closer at the impact of his “word vomit“.
From the NYT:

October 31:
Israel will be destroyed! Death to America! Destroy the infidels! Kill the Jews! The future is ours! General Ali Fadavi, the deputy commander of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, smugly told the media, “Iran’s response to the Zionist aggression is definite. We are capable of destroying all that the Zionists possess with one operation.”

Mid-November:
Iran dispatched a top official to Beirut to urge Hezbollah to accept a cease-fire with Israel. Around the same time, Iran’s U.N. ambassador met with Elon Musk, as overture to President-elect Donald J. Trump’s inner circle. And on Friday, it will hold talks in Geneva with European countries on a range of issues, including its nuclear program. Five Iranian officials, one of them a Revolutionary Guards member, and two former officials said the decision to recalibrate was prompted by Mr. Trump winning the Nov. 5 election, with concerns about an unpredictable leader who, in his first term, pursued a policy of “maximum pressure” on Iran.

I am guessing that commentator above is missing all of the latest revelations coming out now about how that “threat to democracy” chorus inserted into every article, speech or broadcast was entirely made up to enrage their easily manipulated base and most officials, experts and media are disavowing it now that they are losing power.

Trump posing with 2 of his voters.

We were repeatedly warned about Trumps dangerous rhetoric, almost always edited, altered or distorted for maximum alarm (inject bleach, Bloodbath, Firing Squad, the “last time you’ll vote” etc….), yet the threat to democracy, fascist/Hitler references and warnings of white supremacy violence were repeated daily.

And what was the result?

Add the self described “Power Lesbian” married to the trans women in Seattle, who hacked her father to death as a result of the election, a multitude of recent mass shooters along with both would be assassins – the latest echoing the left talking points about Trump being a dictator and a threat to democracy who must be stopped at any cost.

Do you recognize a pattern yet?

So, what the left are saying and what is actually happening are 2 completely different worlds. Is there any way to bridge that widening gap and bring those worlds closer together?

A good start would be to identify and address the actual problems regular people are concerned about. Heck, even ‘Never Trumper‘ Cenk Uygur of The Young Turks gets it. Instead of addressing the inability to buy a home, sky high grocery bills and multiple conflicts overseas, they offer more DEI initiatives, cancel free speech and become elite overlords looking down at the peasants dictating what can be said and thought.

“When I became a Democrat, it was the more tolerant party. Republicans were religious nut jobs and corporate robots. Now, the Democrats are in a lot of ways the less tolerant party that says anyone opposing their anointed leaders is committing heresy. If you give constructive criticism, they drive you away screaming, “He’s not a real Democrat!!” They insult our intelligence and think we should be controlled and learn how to follow orders. And they have no idea how elitist they sound.

For God’s sake, how many former lefty defections can you ignore and continue to spew the approved narrative? If Cenk Uygur has now figured it out, what justification are you hanging your credibility on?

Maybe, let’s try to shatter a few echo chamber blast domes with wise words from  a young, gay, Afro-Latino democrat who represents the district that abuts AOC’s in NY:

“Donald Trump has no greater friend than the far left, which has managed to alienate historic numbers of Latinos, Blacks, Asians, and Jews from the Democratic Party with absurdities like “Defund the Police” or “From the River to the Sea” or “Latinx.” There is more to lose than there is to gain politically from pandering to a far left that is more representative of Twitter, Twitch, and TikTok than it is of the real world. The working class is not buying the ivory-towered nonsense that the far left is selling”. 

Relatedly, there is now buzz about how the left needs their own Joe Rogan to share their views with millions of followers. What’s completely lost on them is that they had a Joe Rogan… who was named Joe Rogan. He was a lefty and a huge supporter of Bernie Sanders but flew the coop when the left came after him for having a medical opinion that strayed from the script. They might find another but that will only work if he doesn’t think for himself. Good luck if that is the case as that loyal but vanilla venture would flame out within 6 months (Air America anyone?).

With that in mind, let’s ponder the state of mind of those who religiously followed that flawed path. Political analyst Mark Halperin put it this way.

“I think tens of millions of people will question their connection to the nation, their connection to other human beings, their connection to their vision of what their future, and the future for their children, could be like. I think there’ll be alcoholism, broken marriages… the fact that under a fair election, America chose by the pre-agreed rules Donald Trump again — I think it will cause the biggest mental health crisis in the history of America”.

Dr. Drew Pinsky nails it on what pushed so many over the edge. This dovetails perfectly for many discussions about the media that have occurred here:

“The source of this [hysteria and delusion] has been the mainstream media. The American public has been propagandized to the point that they have literally become mentally ill. And the thing about delusionality is it can’t be reasoned with. We have been through a stage of delusion that started with the first Trump presidency and was put into absolute orbit with COVID.”

You might think that is overblown. But then consider the flood of videos from those snowflakes who believe it is virtuous and noble to wail and scream publicly online. Video after video of hysterical, mostly (but not all) female Democratic voters literally shrieking dementedly into their phone cameras and posting their tormented anguish to the world. You cannot watch any of them and not feel grateful that this madness is finally coming to an end.

About the only thing more prolific than these performance rantings right now, are the many very visible responses mocking them. This is something entirely new as previously silenced voices finally got fed up with being shouted down. Most simply mock to ridicule, but this podcaster did an exceptional job using common sense to expose the flaming hypocrisy of those who now contradict every point they’ve made the past several years.

As they seem to get worse with each passing day, I wonder why SO MANY of them now profess to be blatantly racist for all the world to witness and ridicule! This same podcaster (who is becoming a favorite due to her common sense), produced another one about people experiencing negative reactions to the election results. It is also worth a look to clear the fog.

And as more and more emerge from their many long years in the woke coma, their ranks shrink in embarrassment for being associated with the madness. It might be thought as cruel to highlight these exhibitions but then, that’s exactly what has awakened many fence sitters who never realized how mentally unstable so many have become, where screaming at a lake seems sensible.

Besides clearly illustrating Histrionic personality disorder, these video tantrums are typically a mess. For a lighter take, I’d recommend a critical review of these clips, provided by Justine Bateman, who previously lived that horrid life of misery until she realized how debilitating it had become to live under the “Suffocating Cloud”.

Consider those who are now (because of an election) advocating for women to divorce their husbands, refuse men, marriage and families, while shaving their heads and refusing to shower. I guess they skipped over stomping their feet and holding their breath – which is probably difficult when they are hyperventilating.

Same with the 4B movement. So vowing to abstain from sex and making themselves easily identifiable is supposed to be a threat? It sounds like there will now be less abortions and men won’t have to figure out if their next date is crazy or not. Although, I am no longer in that dating pool, as a man I’ll say THANK YOU!!!

A new wrinkle of that twisted logic are those that are getting sterilized to protect their reproductive rights! Yep, you read that correctly. They are terminating their ability to reproduce in order to protect their right to reproduce.

An added benefit to their insanity is that conservatives will now be out breeding their counterparts and we can look forward to fewer of their orange-haired offspring disrupting society.

What enables them to reach such a pathetic state? Let’s address some social media comments I came across this week. I’ll use these to explain what the majority of the voters have reasoned about these issues. It is this common sense reasoning that seems to be missing from those in denial.

  • “Nick Fuentes posted, “Your body, my choice. Forever,” and gloated that men will now legally control women’s bodies.
    What cabinet or administration position is Nick Fuentes assigned to? I wasn’t aware he was in the new administration and am guessing he’d have a hard time getting through the confirmation process.
  • Right-wing influencer posted: “Project 2025 was real the whole time.”
    It’s called trolling. Their entire existence is to make fun of liberals. The left is now making independent podcasters jobs exceedingly easy. But, don’t feel bad because most of your media took that bait as well.
    • Rolling Stone: ‘Republicans Celebrate Admitting They Can’t Wait for Project 2025.’
    • Axios: ‘Trump’s MAGA Allies Gloat Project 2025 Is the Agenda.
    • Daily Mail: ‘MAGA Stars Gloat They Can Finally Admit Project 2025 Is the Agenda
    • MSNBC: ‘In the Wake of Trump’s Win, Project 2025 Becomes Newly Relevant.
    • Newsweek: ‘MAGA Says Project 2025 Is the Agenda…”

      Since the comprehension tank seems to be empty, here is another alarming statement from Matt Walsh, also in the “irritation” business:
      “I had been offered the position of Secretary of State, as well as Secretary of Defense, and HHS Secretary, and Secretary of Agriculture, of course, and, of course, the position of Attorney General. Trump said I could have — he called me up and said I could have any of those positions I like. And I said, ‘You know what, sir, I’ll take them all. I want all of them.’ And he agreed because it makes his job a lot easier. Now he doesn’t have — that’s like five jobs off the table because I’ll just do them all.”

      The bottom line is Project2025 is NOT and never has been a policy or platform of the president-elect. Sure, some of the points make sense and will be pursued but there are also plenty of others that will never see the light of day. Trumps platform is titled Agenda 47 and is available right here. Or, you can see much greater detail that completely negates the left talking points that Trump will eliminate SS, Medicare, elections, the Constitution and more hysterical nonsense.
  • “I may be raped anywhere, even in the women’s dressing room,…”
    Actually, your chances of encountering a dude in the dressing room or worse yet, a rapist released from a local or foreign prison will soon greatly diminish. How is it thought those chances increase?
  • “I worry about discrimination or harassment for loving who I love.”
    There has been zero discussion or proposals to impact who anyone loves, with the exception of protecting children from pedophiles, sexual themes, or mutilation. “Don’t say gay” was never discussed, legislated or proposed, despite what was repeatedly regurgitated. Pornography was always kept out of schools and shouldn’t be allowed now simply because it is gay porn. Brandon Straka, who founded the Walkaway movement is gay. Right wing commentator Dave Rubin is gay. Newly nominated Treasury Secretary Scott K.H. Bessent could be the first LGBTQ+ member in a Republican cabinet.
    In the biography of Bessent furnished by the Trump transition team, the nominee’s sexuality goes unmentioned. Trump knows about it, of course, but that’s not why he was picked. Instead, he was selected because of his experience, expertise and worldview – rather than his victimhood label.
    The “Gays for Trump” organization states: “We refuse to let the radicals in the LGBT define the whole Gay Community”. There are also Trans people who despise the targeting of children who have come out for Trump. And finally, a vast majority (70%+) of the population have adamantly stated that transsexual females, who went through male puberty have NO business participating, injuring girls and denying opportunities in women’s sports. Despite their efforts to minimize the damage already inflicted, these lines are very clear.
  • “I’ll die from a miscarriage that doctors aren’t allowed to treat.”
    Where, in what universe, are doctors prohibited from treating a miscarriage? Once again, in their quest to murder newborns, they resort to this tired trope with no basis in reality. The state referendums (many of which are passing), always contain the wording to allow abortions (anytime) in the interest of the “women’s health”. That has always been the case – even in the most restrictive states. However, they now include “anxiety” aka inconvenience as a valid health reason to murder a newborn – up until birth. And NOWHERE is a doctor liable for treating a miscarriage to save the woman’s life.
  • “Dems honor and respect the system, even when it doesn’t go their way.”
    Ummm, I think not (see below).

I think these threats are just getting started and this will build momentum as we approach inauguration. The difference is this time, I doubt they will be tolerated.

Similar reports are emerging in Chicago, New York, Portland, and the other usual suspects. The saving grace is it seems these tantrums are now being dealt with swiftly and forcefully – at least in most places. But I’m sure Gwen Walz will have her window open, hoping the smell of burning tires will soon be wafting her way.

A YouGov/Economist survey released Friday found that 47 percent of Harris supporters do not accept that Trump is the legitimate president. There also is an explosion of Blu-Anon conspiracy theories that question the outcome of an election that was previously touted to be “the most secure in American history”.

So much for Democrats honoring the election results and rule of law. Just like in the PA Senate race, it is no longer taboo to question and dispute election results. Now, it’s (D)ifferent, as we circle back to the Russians, misinformation and ‘all votes should be counted’ for the kazillionth time. Or better yet, we all wait a full month AFTER the election while CA “cures” enough votes to miraculously pull their democrat candidate to victory, while the republican candidates receive ZERO gains since the time the election ended.

Since it is no longer taboo, what do you suppose really happened back in 2020?

Everyone is asking what happened to all those many millions of democratic voters who rose from the dead to vote late in the night. But, based on this graphic floating around today, this might also explain why Harris was unable to outperform Biden in any county across the entire nation. Something that hasn’t happened since 1932! Without the COVID enabled ability to generate the sufficient votes needed in the still of the night, she came up millions of votes short everywhere.

If this was the most critical, consequential, life or death, ‘democracy on the line’ election of our lives, how could millions of blue voters just sit this one out?

Some have suggested the Rapture took them away, but I would venture to guess that the side murdering millions of innocent babies, destroying families, mutilating children or trafficking hundreds of thousands of them into slavery or the sex trade, advising couples to lie to their spouses, advising women to leave and divorce their husbands, as well as endorsing a candidate who is supported by Hollywood’s most decadent deviants and Diddy’s party guests are likely NOT looked upon quite so favorably from on high.

I’d say, it is increasingly likely that those 81 million votes for Biden in 2020 were complete BS and will enjoy seeing those details exposed to the light of day in the coming months. But then again, that will be framed as Trump jailing his opponents because it’s (D)ifferent now, right?

The left and the MSM spent a good portion of this year insisting that Donald Trump would be a vengeful tyrant if he was elected again, hell-bent on retribution. That didn’t go over quite like they thought it would in the election. It sounded like a strong selling point to many of us but they will likely be alternately relieved and crushed when they realize Trump isn’t going to Hitler for them.

But, we’ve all witnessed what playing nice got him the first go ’round with ill-advised cabinet appointments who did little more than undermine him at every opportunity. And besides him earning that retribution, some examples do need to be made, truths exposed and the worst offenders held accountable. On that we will all continue to INSIST. 

The other thing I’ve been seeing is the projection that Trump built his entire campaign on “fear”. If that is so, where is the red bracelet campaign? Apparently, it is now required to wear a blue bracelet to signify that you are pure and are SAFE to be around. Actually, the bracelet seems unnecessary as most of this cult is typically easily identified by their bull nose rings – and now their shaved heads. The one amazing aspect though is that it seems they’ve all suddenly, out of the blue, rediscovered what a woman is.

I’ve been quietly adding to this piece for weeks, really wondering if it’ll ever see the light of day. Why? Because, with each new day, there appears to be less and less of a need for it. Most people now get it. The gaslighting is no longer working. As more and more ridiculous reactions spill out into the sunlight, even more eyes are being opened in those who admit they were taken for a ride by the left, which will likely greatly impact future elections as more and more abandon the craziness.

Legacy media are now in their death throws. A few examples are CNN and MSNBC now facing plummeting revenues, massive layoffs and fire sale liquidations. The little remaining audience they had have abandoned them and their viewership numbers have now plunged below The Hallmark channel and SpongeBob reruns.

Not that they would recognize what is happening. The hot topics now are redirecting their defamation campaigns against Trumps cabinet appointees, now being targeted in violent threats to their lives and those of their families including “swatting” and multiple bomb threats.

On this, Michael LaRosa, who was First Lady Jill Biden’s press secretary had the common sense to point out:

“This shit has to stop. Opposing DEI initiatives does not make you a white supremacist. Conversations and demonization like this are a big part of the reason we got our asses kicked. The answer to extremism is not more extremism.  Voices like this on the left are turning the Democratic Party into a joke. Name calling, vilifying, and defaming nominees you oppose, even if there is very good reason to oppose them, represents everything the Democratic Party should be RUNNING away from… We need to get serious people opining about policy and politics, not one-upping each other or competing for who can make the most provocative insult about a Trump nominee you oppose”. 

Or, as Mumford & Sons guitarist Winston Marshall sums it all up:

“The White House, the Senate, the House, the popular vote, a state legislative and mayoral majority, all on top of the Supreme Court majority… George Clooney retiring from politics and late-night TV hosts like Jimmy Kimmel literally crying on television. It’s all too good to be true...
and is a rebuke of the stale misandristic Democratic Party and everything they represent: woke; envy; censorship; bureaucracy; elite sanctimony; corporate collusion, and war”. 

But the best is Bill Maher’s summation on how the left is simply unable to learn from their many mistakes:

“Democrats have become like a royal family that, because of
so much incest, has unfortunately had retarded children.”

One thing is certain, a whole lot of popcorn has been consumed these past few weeks as this all winds down to its inevitable conclusion.

In the end, I believe it is safe to say that a MAJORITY of Americans now feel unburdened by what could have been,
even if those who refuse to accept it remain burdened.


Of those still burdened, there appear to only be 3 options remaining for them.

  1. Flee the country as many have promised but very few have actually followed through on – if those countries will have you.
  2. Disavow, disown and sever ties with your family and friends who had the gall to not fall for all of the lies you have swallowed. As long as you remain in fantasy land, those acquaintances will appreciate not hearing from you. While you are at it, please continue to swallow the BS and call anyone who disagrees a Nazi, fascist, racist, homophobe, sexist, misogynist, uneducated, unchristian or any of the other ugly labels you’ve automatically applied to those who, evidence now proves were actually right. As is built into your DNA, keep trying to shove your authoritarian demands down our throat – keep telling us we must accept only your version of events – keep showing us who the fascists really are and we will KEEP dealing you electoral defeats until your woke fever is finally broken.
  3. Awaken from your coma and explain to the world how you managed to get yourself so twisted up in your TDS and PSS (Progressive Superiority Syndrome) that logic, clear thinking and common sense completely escaped your grasp. You’ll feel better after you purge the demons clouding your head and regular people just might be able to tolerate you again.

    And that is IF we all survive that long.
