Tired of enjoying a nice heaping plate of schadenfreude at liberal dismay over Trump’s win? Well, I’m not! Enjoy some of the most confidently smug Democrats declaring that there’s no way Trump can win.
Highlights:
The female “political analyst” who confidently told a liquor store clerk where she was buying champagne that Harris was going to win all the swing states plus Iowa due to abortion, only to cry “racism and misogyny” in the “after” video.
The Tik-Tok electoral votes map guy who confidently predicted Harris garnering 349 votes, including. “It’s gonna be a landslide.” Also: “Some people are telling me to turn Texas to blue.” Democrats have been getting high on the “Texas is about to turn blue” pipe dream for the last two decades…
Nikki Haley back during her Republican presidential primary campaign (Where she managed to win…Vermont. By 3,000 votes.): “If Donald Trump is the nominee, mark my words, we will see a President Kamala Harris.”
Bill Maher predicting Kamala winning the popular vote.
Some MSNBC talking head calmly asserting that “there’s no imaginable world in which Donald Trump would win a popular majority in America.”
Seems like Democrats lack imagination about a whole lot of things…
I love the “Political Analyst” who decreed that the clerk “Wasted his vote” because he did not vote for the winner.
First of all, that’s not voting works. This “Political Analyst” thinks that if you do not vote for the winner you have wasted your vote.
So, by her own reasoning, she wasted her vote.
The anti-Trump vitriol of the chattering class created a social desirability bias among the public which completely undermined political poll accuracy. Only the most belligerent Trump partisans admitted their voting intent.
The clowns featured in this video all believed the polls whose errors they themselves are exclusively responsible for. They won’t learn from their reputational disaster. They will be back in four years with even more delusions.
βI will not rally to Trump. Frankly, if Trump is able to get the nomination, the Republican Party will cease to be the party in which I served as an elected official,” ****** said in Monday’s post. “It will not deserve my support and will not get it if it chooses to nominate a pro-abortion liberal masquerading as a conservative, who preys on nationalistic, tribal tendencies and has an army of white supremacists online as his loudest cheerleaders.”
On a personal note, my antipathy to Donald Trump was based on the USSC Kehlo decision, permitting government agents to exercise eminent domain in pursuit of a private business advantage.
That said, his willingness to engage in a bare-knuckles brawl with the Democrats made him less odious than his Republican rivals. He got my 2016 vote because Hillary was the most detestable Democrat on the election slate that year. By 2020 I had come to sympathize with Trumpβs mistreatment and by 2024 I was prepared to do pretty much anything to see him win.
By now, the Republicans who opposed Trump in 2016 are largely satisfied that he is the least bad candidate for the office of US President and will fall in line with many of his goals.

“By now, the Republicans who opposed Trump in 2016 are largely satisfied that he is the least bad candidate for the office of US President and will fall in line with many of his goals.”
That line is entirely too optimistic when it comes to #NeverTrumpers who have made TDS the defining characteristic of their personality. Those people can continue to shrivel up in silence in obscurity.
Lordy. Isn’t that poly sci prof “political analyst” who sneeringly condescended to the liquor store clerk who sold her the champagne simply the most contemptible person on earth?
That dismissive, mocking cackle. The conceited arrogance. I am so happy to see her get her comeuppance. What a miserable, horrible, toxic human being.
I think the next several years are going to make it quite clear that the real deal here is that both the Democratic and Republican parties are effectively dead.
What’s left is a centrist party more-or-less headed by Trump, who would have been leftwards of JFK had he run in 1960. The presence of RFK and Tulsi Gabbard in his campaign should tell you a lot about what really just happened here… The extremists of both parties are actually the opposition; they’re representing the real oligarchy. And, they’re the actual opposition to the populist Trump.
What we’re in the midst of is an actual recasting of the American political scene. Whether or not it takes will have a lot to do with how successful Trump is, and how effective the establishment is at fighting back.
My guess is that the next few years are going to be “interesting” in a Chinese curse sense of the meaning, but that we’ll be a lot better off afterwards. I could be wrong.
Either way, the status quo just took a headshot. I doubt it will survive. Our real problem over the last several generations has been the incumbencies and establishment. Prior to Reagan, the people in charge would have been quite content to let the Soviet Union win, and would have happily supervised our eventual defeat and subjugation, so long as they got a place at the table. Remember Teddy Kennedy and his offer to the Soviets…?
They’ve never truly been on “our” side, these creatures of the deep state. They’ve been on their own; nobody else’s.
Erick Erickson, quoted above and who also famously predicted generational electoral disaster for Republicans in 2016 has moderated his opposition somewhat:
βThe better option for evangelicals and conservatives is to show up and vote and leave that [President] line blank. That registers your disgust and makes you a meaningful demographic that both parties will want in order to win.β
In Ericksonβs defense itβs been said, βThose not against us are for us.β
Oddly enough, the presumed abortion supporter, Donald Trump, inexplicably advanced the careers of three jurists who lent their support to the Dobbs decision. Mister, we could use more pro-abortion candidates like that!
βWhatβs left is a centrist party more-or-less headed by Trump, who would have been leftwards of JFK had he run in 1960.β
Donald Trump more closely resembles Nelson Rockefeller (or Eugene McCarthy) than he does Barry Goldwater. Itβs about what you would expect from a NYC resident. The Overton Window has moved far left and this election demonstrates that itβs limits are nearly reached. So yes, we have reached a stasis of sorts.
Letβs see now if any momentum can be generated to correct the Leftβs worst abuses and then reevaluate where we are later.
I think the major issue is that the two main parties have been captured by the insiders in DC. Neither one of them are actually paying attention to their constituencies, and Trump is what happens after the Tea Party got ignored. The insiders hit the “snooze” button, and the people they are supposed to represent fired a warning shot across their bow. I don’t want to know what would have happened if they’d managed to fraud Trump out of office this time around, or if they manage to kill him before January 20th. Ugliness will ensue, that’s for damn sure.
The government has been run by the “front row kids” for far too long; look at the majority of the people in authority: They’re all perfect exemplars of the “Head Girl Syndrome”, and completely disconnected from reality. Nancy Pelosi thinks people look at her with respect, because that’s the bubble she lives in. That everyone else thinks she’s a grifting POS that’s profited off of insider trading? Oblivious.
We let these people continue to run the country, then the only solution is going to be a violent revolution. With any luck, if Trump is a serious person about what he’s doing, this next few years will serve as a useful correction. If not, well… I don’t give us much longer before the violence starts.
βNeither one of them are actually paying attention to their constituencies, and Trump is what happens after the Tea Party got ignored.β
The Democrat party is captive to its fringe elements whereas Republicans ignore their base. The βcenterβ is abused by Democrats; patronized by Republicans.
Each, in their own way, tell us, β*We* know better.β It should be evident that we are ruled by a self-selected elite.
“Oddly enough, the presumed abortion supporter, Donald Trump, inexplicably advanced the careers of three jurists who lent their support to the Dobbs decision. Mister, we could use more pro-abortion candidates like that!”
What’s even more entertaining is that to the left Trump is just the opposite. To hear them tell it he personally waved a magic wand and transformed the entire country into a second-rate sci-fi dystopia. He’s the anti-choice antichrist. They hit the panic button hard after Dobbs and it paid off for them in the midterms, so they started slapping it again this year. Only it’s two years on now and not only have none of the catastrophes they predicted come to pass, but the ‘right’ to abortion is more secure than ever, no longer existing entirely at the whim of 9 (well, technically only 5) unelected people in black robes. It being left in the hands of the states also means it’s not vulnerable to a nationwide Federal abortion ban. Sane people understand that (whether they approve or not) and aren’t stampeding brainlessly on command this time.

TDS is not unique to the political Left.
In 2016 a prominent conservative offered:

Frankly, if Trump is able to get the nomination, the Republican Party will cease to be the party in which I served as an elected official,” ****** said in Monday’s post. “It will not deserve my support and will not get it if it chooses to nominate a pro-abortion liberal masquerading as a conservative, who preys on nationalistic, tribal tendencies and has an army of white supremacists online as his loudest cheerleaders.”

Delicious! Waiter, may I have another portion, please?

Save those ‘Madame President’ signs, ladies! You’ll be able to use them again when VP Tulsi Gabbard takes over from JD Vance in 2036.
