I'm not completely convinced we're the problem

It's going to take a long time to recover from the trauma of the election, and I've seen all sorts of blame and finger pointing and people hating on us, dunking on us and our policies and the things we've said and done.

The more I think about it, the problem isn't us. In fact, while unfortunately and undoubtedly prevalent, I'm not even convinced racism and misogyny were the big problem.

The big problems I see, in the two weeks after the election, are the complete disconnect from reality and an uninformed electorate.

The above is just a portion of this DUmmie's entertaining rant. It's worth visiting to read the entire missive and the replies.

A brief synopsis is this...
Kammie Kameleon only lost because the American people are not too bright and are ignorant of the issues. If they (the American people) were only more intelligent and informed then the Knob Gobbler would have won by a landslide.

Ironically enough, and it's no surprise that the ignorant brainless loons at DU can't see it, the reason that the Kameleon lost is partially because many Americans actually are beginning to see the truth about her and the rest of the Dem Overlords.

The dems are calling masses of other people dumb, even though it was the dems who ignored the warning signs of an impending defeat, and in some cases even predicted a decisive Harris victory. Oh, and where did all Harris' campaign money go, hmm?

Right. Who in their right mind says: She took 1.5 billion and turned it into -20 million so I want HER running the country?

1.   "Undoubtedly prevalent" but not "The big problem". Translation: "I know the 'Racism and misogyny' narrative is false, but I still want to believe it and don't want a granite pizza."

2. In the real world, lots of ordinary people who try to focus on their everyday lives rather than obsessively follow political news say the prices they paid for gasoline, food, other necessaries, and services skyrocket.

In the real world, lots of these ordinary people saw past the Dems' and their MSM-shills' smoke-and-mirrors rhetoric and realized that the lawfare cases were partisan fauxniness.

In the real world, lots of these ordinary people saw past the Dems' and their MSM-shills' smoke-and-mirrors rhetoric and realized that Trump is not Hitler, not a racist, not an anti-Semite, not a misogynist, and not everything-else-evil-ist.

In the real world, some/many of these ordinary people realized that while Putin, Hamas, and China laid low from their assaults and bellicosity during Trump's Presidency, China got aggressive, Putin invaded Ukraine, and Hamas invaded Israel, slaughtered and raped people, took a couple hundred hostages, and Biden continually tried to prevent or soften Israel's just response ... oh yeah, and the Houthis' attacks against commerce through the Red Sea. TL;DR version, many Americans recognized Biden's projection of weakness and its predictable consequences.

Many DU-Denizens feed their minds (or mind-surrogates) on MesSNBC, so they were shocked and dismayed when reality smacked them over their heads using a ballot box. Sadder still, they don't have the common sense to see a need to try to understand - rather than demonize - people who disagree with them.

And it went right to the top:


We ALL Knew: Staffers FINALLY Admit Harris Campaign Internal Polling NEVER Had Her Ahead of Trump

Yeah, they take whatever the clowns at MSNBC say as gospel. We have a family friend who is on Facebook that’s like that. She’ll repeat some BS that she read or saw on MSNBC and claim that it’s correct because she’s done her "research". Her “research” is just reading or watching the MSNBC BS. I would ask her if she has a DU name, but I’m beginning to think that she may be too stupid to qualify for DU. She has about one more time spouting some BS to me before she probably will no longer be a family friend because I’m near the edge of my “be nice and polite” boundary with her.

Let me give you a (hopefully) brief idea of what I’m dealing with because maybe I’m being too rash. She's a Bible thumping Christian which I really don’t have any problem with whatsoever as I’m a Christian; however, she’s coming across as a very hypocritical Christian.

Before the election, when she absolutely KNEW that Kammie was going to win (because MSNBC told her so) she was preaching to everyone that we should all be about LOVE and we shouldn’t let two people who we don’t even know worry us or cause us to feud. Since reality slapped her in the face with Trump’s win, all of her LOVE talk has went out the window and she’s constantly trying to stir up fear and hatred toward Trump. He’s going to do this. Y’all  better prepare for that. Just yap, yap, yap. And, if someone politely points out that none of that has happened yet, she claims that she’s not worried because God has got her covered. For some reason, her BS has really pissed me off. I told my wife yesterday that the next slice of BS that the woman puts out spreading her hatred and fear fest about something that hasn’t even happened yet (and most likely won't happen) I’m going to do some preaching of my own and tell her that instead of thumping on the Bible she should actually open and read it. I'll even provide the chapter and verse references for her.

There are Evangelical Christians who voted AGAINST Trump, I get that. Their reasons are their reasons, which they are free to hold.

Maybe they don't like Trump's history of womanizing, which is real (though he seems to be nuts about and faithful to Melania, for almost 19 years.) I get that. But if that troubles them, why doesn't the no-hyperbole-facts that Kamala got her entree into SF and California State politics by being Assembly Speaker Willie Brown's mistress? Her judgment in marrying a man who destroyed his first marriage by impregnating his child's nanny does not trouble them? Her and her husband's failures to deal with sexual harassment in their respective offices (his law firm, her Attorney General's office ... for which the State of California paid 6-figure judgments) do not trouble them?

Maybe they like government social programs? I do not understand how they morph Jesus' command to his followers into a command to use government to extract $$ from believers in other or no religion for "charity" that is 25%-30% efficient.

Maybe they buy into ethnic-victim ideology and equate discrimination against whites with "justice" (and how did east, southeast, and south Asians get lumped into the same bin as whites?). But then how do they not see that Paul's neither Greek nor Jew, slave nor free etc. statements clearly condemn any/all racial-ethnic or economic discrimination?

Dog, please, please ...PLEASE!! let this line of  "thought" be prevalent throughout the Dim'Rat Party. It will keep their kind out of the halls of political power for at least the next 20 years.

I'm completely convinced you idiots are gonna lose in '26 and '28 for this very reason. You idiots have shifted the overton window so far to the left that 80's and 90's democrats are aligned with republicans currently.

The trouble with our Liberal friends is not that they're ignorant; it's just that they know so much that isn't so. -

There sure are a lot of dumb voters look at all the ones that voted for harris

this is the thing with the dummies - you can pluck them right out of one of their natural habitats (Chicago) to a normal place (Jasper, Indiana), and they still can't catch a clue.
