Blind devotion and ignorance deliver victory for Trump

Donald Trump, one Kamala Harris lost, and we have to talk about everything related to this. Now I want to start at a place where I wish the right had started in 2020 I am not here to claim that there was fraud. I am not here to claim that it was rigged. I am not going to suggest to anyone that they go to Washington, DC to interrupt the count of the electoral votes. We respect democracy, and so everything that the left is currently doing is the opposite of what happened in 2020 Harris didn’t win, so she shouldn’t be the president. I have no interest in encouraging, suggesting or trying to crowbar her into the White House, even though she did not win, because that’s not how the country works. Trump won, and that’s it. He gets to be president. Or if his deterioration continues, it’ll increasingly be JD, Vance, behind the scenes. That’s first and foremost. Secondly,

Trump is winning with not only a larger electoral vote margin than previously, but also he’s winning the popular vote. And so there is going to be a lot of Monday morning quarterbacking about what this was all about. There are those who are saying that crowning Kamala Harris, the nominee with no real primary was never going to work. I don’t know about that. It’s not a scenario we’ve explored many times. It’s a very low sample size. It could have worked, but it did not work, that’s for sure. What about her identity? I do think that there are people in this country who when they see the white guy who’s already been president or a black woman that I’m being told is a Marxist and a socialist and a communist. It’s not necessarily about racism, but that certainly is a factor that should be considered. But what I really think this is about is ignorance for some and people who genuinely love what Trump is offering for others. I’ll give you examples of both. We recently looked at interviews with young men voting Trump, and they were asked, Why are you voting Trump? And they said, because of the high gas prices. Gas prices right now are at their post pandemic low since the pandemic, gas prices have never been lower within a few cents. They are simply voting on ignorance. They believe that gas prices are high and that they would be lower under Trump. In reality, gas prices have come down and are at their post pandemic low. This is common. Millions and millions of people voted based on things they just got wrong. That’s it. Secondly, we have to acknowledge it’s not Russian interference. It’s not Kamala is a bad candidate. It’s not bad ground game. There are 10s of millions of people who want the convicted felon, civilly liable sexual assaulter, wanna be dictator, authoritarian, to be president. They want him to go after his political enemies. They want him to go after media outlets unfriendly to him. They want all of it. And I disagree with those people. I think their values are on American I think that it’s bad for the country, but they want this. They got a choice. If it had been Trump or Biden, I think the result would have been the same. Might have been even worse. They had Trump and Harris, and they said, No, I want that. That’s what I want. And what needs to happen now is the Democratic Party needs to figure out, well, how do we win when 10s of millions of people don’t care about the sexual assault, they don’t care about the criminal, criminal convictions, they don’t care about the lies. They don’t care about Trump pretending to be religious, or did they that’s what they wanted. And so how does the Democratic Party succeed in such an environment? And I don’t know the answer yet. Anyway, finally, one of the really scary things to me is that there is going to be a compendium of Grifters and dilettantes that are going to be part of the next Trump administration. People are talking about, what about Robert F Kennedy Junior for HHS Secretary? What? What people are talking about a formal position for Elon Musk. The idea of Trump’s kooky lawyer Alina haba as Attorney General was floated until Trump got the better idea of maybe that Judge Eileen cannon, who’s been friendly to him as attorney general, we’re going to see a clown car of an administration. And so my message to my fellow leftists is this is not the time to turn away. If we turn away, they win on everything we cannot see ground to them, it’s.

Demoralizing. It’s disappointing. Take a little time off. I’m with you, but we have to come back engaged, because when the right loses, they go, we have to get more involved, and we have to do the same thing
