If you believed that the U.S. election was a case of Good vs Evil, you received information from unreliable sources.
Some of those sources are now busy sticking microphones in the faces of hicks from the sticks in an effort to make it look like the U.S. simply has too many dumb people who don’t understand left from wrong.
The truth is that millions of U.S. residents lost faith in a Democratic Party that portrayed itself as morally superior but proved itself anything but.
Here is a quick refresher for those who missed important facts:
- The Democrats lied about COVID and then bullied the media into covering it up. Of course, some organizations did not need any convincing to distort the truth and did so with great enthusiasm and deplorable levels of bias (e.g. CNN, Washington Post, New York Times) — “Zuckerberg regrets buckling to pressure from Biden administration to censor COVID content”
- The Democrats lied about climate change and the energy industry, in so doing threatening U.S. and even global energy security – Climate change has not set the planet ablaze
- The Democrats lied about Joe Biden’s mental fitness until a national debate made the charade impossible to continue – On Biden’s debate, Democrats have no one to blame but themselves
- The Democrats lied about war, wagging their finger at Israel, for example, while sending thousands of bombs to the Israel Defence Forces for use in their ongoing attacks.
- The Democrats’ presidential campaign rhetoric suggesting that their party was morally superior to its opponent was a lie – U.S. jury finds Senator Menendez guilty in bribery trial
The writing was on the Trump wall when I wrote this article a couple of years ago – Is the political left committing harakiri? – and this piece six months ago – Barrage of attacks on Trump could backfire – so the decisive Republican victory was no surprise here.
Disappointed Democrat supporters should not be putting the blame on misguided, “racist”, or “misogynist” voters. U.S. voters selected a black president twice recently, and I believe they would have chosen Kamala Harris – or Michelle Obama or Oprah Winfrey, for that matter – had the Democratic Party operated with a modicum of integrity over the last four years.
Harris was inserted late in a battle that was already lost.
Rather than bashing Trump and his MAGA supporters, disappointed Democratic Party supporters would be better served attempting to hold their leadership group accountable and pushing for major change.
