I’ve noticed lots of articles recently where “Democrats” are asking, “why did we lose?” After all, both candidates promised more goodies than I’ve ever seen in my twelve (12) “most important elections of my lifetime”.
My gut feeling is that most people didn’t want either of these candidates. Most people I’ve spoken with, or overheard, more or less held their nose while they cast their ballot for the new “great leader” of the “free” world.
I’ve given this a lot of thought over the last couple of weeks. We would be wise to remember that Donald J Trump has not been installed yet and that his cabinet picks have yet to be confirmed. We have a couple months to go. We haven’t seen any real changes. Yet. Will we see the changes we need under DJT this time around? Will having two unelected technocrats by his side in charge of “DOGE” be the ticket? Two guys who have kept their ties to big pharma and big tech under the radar? I recently saw where Elon Musk bragged about being able to get rid of 86 billion dollars in waste. Will that save us from a government that has a budget of around 6 TRILLION dollars? A government that is 35 trillion dollars in debt? 86 billion is chump change. I digress… I’m trying to be hopeful that some things *will* change for the better.
Going back to the whining and “why did we lose” mantras being shrieked from every blue haired person in the country. I can give them a good idea why they lost. People are sick of it all! People have seen their country being destroyed over the last 4 years by a party that used to, at a minimum, at least stand for things like health being a personal choice, absolute free speech, and clean food and water being important.
Over the last 4 years, here’s a list of reminders of what we *all* witnessed that caused us to say, “whoa!”
“Mostly peaceful but fiery” “protests” (riots) in which cities burned and people’s livelihoods (businesses) were destroyed, while dozens of people (some of them elderly) who dared to show up in Washington DC on Jan 6th are rotting for years in a federal prison for doing nothing but walking through some of the government buildings that *we own*. (To be fair, these “protests” did start on Trump’s watch… but Biden didn’t do anything to stop them either)
The homeless population exploded.
Illegal immigrants shuttled across the border and put up in 5 star hotels, given debit cards with up to 18 thousand dollars on them, given jobs, free medical care, free plane tickets, free phones, free… well, free *everything* while our veterans live on the street.
The trans agenda was turned up to high heat where even children are not protected from people who want to not only confuse children but “help” them with their “transformation” without telling their parents.
“Medical” masks (face diapers) being used as a way to divide society.
“Vaccines” being used to divide society. Pushing an agenda of “your shot protects me and if you don’t have it, even though I do, I’m at risk.” (Utter insanity if these products actually work right?)
The support of illegal wars in Ukraine and Israel. Yeah, some of you on the so-called “left” were anti-war when it came to Israel, but you waved your flags for Ukraine. You are either anti-war or you’re not. There’s no middle ground here.
“Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” (DEI) became the “qualifications” for participating in society, getting a job, etc. It didn’t matter what your job skills, or other skills were, your race, your sex, your sexual preference was the only thing that mattered.
Abortion and sex was *literally* the platform for the Democrat National Convention. Mobile abortion clinics were set up to perform abortions in the parking lot while “men” were able to get vasectomies in the parking lot as well. (for the earth, of course)
Groceries doubled in price while we were told that inflation is “under control.” I don’t know how many people reading here have bought groceries lately, but it’s insane. I don’t see anything under control.
The “get rid of beef, chicken, pork, and any other kind of animal protein” agenda was turned up to high heat. Fake bird flu (pink eye) is/was being used as a scare tactic to get people to give up the *best* source of nutrition on the planet: Meat. Bugs and fake lab grown meat were promoted as the answer to everything that ails us.
The “pandemic” fear of Monkey Pox and other “poxes” continued.
The so-called “left” corporate media continued to flat out lie about issues facing the country.
The lawfare against political “enemies” (Donald Trump, etc) was turned up to insane levels that would make President Richard Nixon blush.
The war against free speech, and the labeling of any speech that the “left” doesn’t like or hurts their feelers, as “hate” speech.
The shunning of Robert F Kennedy Jr. A generational Democrat. (I have a feeling if the Democrats would have actually backed him, he may have won, but they insisted on propping up an absolute loon instead)
Do I need to go on? I promise, I have enough lunacy to fill several pages.
Some of the issues above shouldn’t even be necessarily political. Many of these issues should be things we can all agree on regardless of so-called “political party.” If the “left” wants to be considered legitimate in the future all they need to do is return to earth. Stop pushing agendas that most sane people don’t want or find distasteful.
Agendas that must be forced on the public are typically not good for the public. They only enrich the monsters promoting those agendas. The serfs the monsters enlist to push that agenda end up losing everything in the end.
Did the so-called “left” learn their lesson? Time will tell. (I’m not holding my breath)
Both *parties* suck, just in some different ways. Also, many of the same ways. You're right about everything you express about the (lack of) policies the Dems threw out there as their platform, as well as their actions during the *Biden* administrations the last 4 years. Really pathetic..
Most are blaming Biden for not bowing out sooner, but the only anti-vcxx mandate reason I heard came from an Hispanic evangelical preacher/prophet on NPR of all places. He said the main reason Latinos voted against Dems was the child covid mandate- his opinion possibly, but the extended lockdowns ruined small businesses for 90% of black and hispanic entrepreneurs.
