Sky News has been running a funny and disturbing program since the election highlighting the hysterical reactions of both anonymous Trump Derangement victims and some whose faces we know, unfortunately…
As discussed in earlier posts, those propagandists, fearmongers, irresponsible journalists, academics, “experts” and Machiavellian politicians who intentionally induced such unhinged reactions to a Presidential election are cruel Ethics Villains all. They should be exposed, mocked, shunned and disgraced.
I have followed every Presidential campaign and election since I was 10 years old. I have always carefully tracked the issues, competing policies and personalities. I have never been so emotionally involved that any result could or would cause me to behave like these poor people. I have also studied the history of campaigns, Presidencies, and the men who became President before I began watching and reading about history as it happened.
The Americans who are reacting with such extreme emotion, fear and hysteria are doing so first, because they have been deliberately deceived, and second, because they don’t understand our culture and the deep resiliency of our traditions and values.
The United States is better and stronger than these deficient citizens think. It is better and stronger than the unethical people who unhinged them.

I can’t help but think a lot of these people “reacting” are just faking it for views. I have a really hard time believing that even their own side appreciates such histrionics.

Why would anyone deliberately present themselves to the world as a hysterical moron if it isn’t genuine?

Steve and I discussed that HERE

But you don’t suggest that the feelings and off-the-charts emotion aren’t genuine. It’s virtue-signaling, sure: these sad people assume their friends will agree with them. But they’re not kidding, nor do they realize that their performance is absurd.
While some are probably faking it for their various and dubious reasons, I think the genuine outbursts are from those who really do not/cannot take responsibility for their own lives and rely on others to tell them how to live. No that the evil orange man is back in charge, these people simply don’t know what to do and it scares the hell out of them.
I don’t think they’re faking it.
They lived in bubbles. Everyone they know was going to vote for Kamala. The one or two weirdos in their families who weren’t going to were just That Uncle they never see or associate with.
Everyone they listened to, read, watched and learned from told them they were right and the others were wrong. There was no way they could lose.
When you keep yourself in a bubble, not exposing yourself to people and ideas robs you of the perspective you need to more accurately assess the mood of the country as a whole, not just your little enclave.
Now they’re looking for someone to blame. It’s That Uncle. It’s the neighbor with the Trump sign. It’s you.
It couldn’t possibly be:
The News Media: Which advocated for the Democrats, gave no quarter to the Republicans, editorialized in headlines and covered up for a cognitively-declining President while endorsing and spreading “It isn’t what it is” lies. Republicans stopped trusting the MSM years ago.
President Biden: He ran knowing he was not well. He continued in office despite the fact that he was getting worse. He should have resigned two years ago. Kamala Harris could have been the President for the last two years, gotten the executive leadership experience she needed (whether she would have learned from it and actually won is up in the air) and been “historic”. He held onto power anyway, withdrawing only when he was forced to and with little to no time left for his successor to campaign. Republicans knew that there was something wrong with him in 2020.
The DNC: Did not step in to handle Biden sooner and allowed the Vice President to be crowned his successor without a single citizen casting a vote in her favor. Allowed her to campaign on abortion and Trump is a Nazi. Incompetent and stupid.
Kamala Harris: Would not explain her policy positions, would not explain what had changed about any of her positions, would not distance herself from the Biden Administration, would not try to speak clearly and well on any subject, would not sit for live, unedited interviews and did not stop her party from spending all its time and effort attacking half the country. Learned nothing in the years she spent in office.
On Tuesday, voters rejected Hollywood endorsements, polls, media bias, Obama lectures, gaslighting and the lying liars that lie about everything so they can hold on to power in order to save democracy.
I think a significant part of Harris’s problem was simply lack of experience. She’s really never had to run a serious campaign before, not outside the California bubble and, guess what? The rest of the country isn’t like California.
Someone who has been through the primary process has hopefully gained experience in dealing with reporters, dealing with fans and detractors, perhaps even thinking on his or her feet. That person won’t be flummoxed by basic, obvious questions but will hopefully be prepared to talk about likely topics. Just to pick an example at random, if you are the border czar you ought to know that a reporter is likely to ask why you’ve never been to the border and when you might go.
I don’t really think that would have saved her, well running in a primary would just as likely have eliminated her candidacy, but she might have put up a better showing. Anyone who is a politician can make a rousing speech to a friendly audience. How you behave in other situations is more telling.
But I’m told the Dems are the party of the educated deep thinkers. The ones who follow logic over emotion. Trump voters were just too easily swayed by hate and emotion to evaluate the policies fairly.
The cognitive dissonance is staggering for the party of “orange man bad.”
The best is “He’s Hitler! He’s a threat to democracy!” followed by “We want a peaceful transition.”
President Trump is inching closer to a popular -vote win as well as the EC, which would nullify a significant – though astoundingly weak – argument of the Democratic party. Unfortunately, nothing short of a Trump concession speech and a handover of the Presidency to its opposition will likely stop the shrieking of the Left.
At this point, a majority of American voters have rejected the Democratic candidate, her running mate, her party’s policies, and ultimately all of those now crying and posting their screeds on YouTube. If the GOP lead in raw votes holds, those weeping and gnashing their teeth will have to consider an even more sobering possibility: right now?…they’re in the electorate’s minority.
And if the Democratic party’s very strong allegiance to “the majority of votes should rule” is really a thing, then they should be thrilled that the majority has spoken, even though it turned its collective back on them this time out. Guess what?…2028 will be here soon and they can try again.
If that short waiting period isn’t good enough, there is another option: there are numerous airlines willing to take any malcontent anywhere else in the world in exchange for money. Flights out can be a “friend indeed” right now.
