I mentioned earlier that the socialist progressives and their accomplice media voices at CNN and MSNBC -still-don’t understand what occurred on Tuesday.
They spent the last 36 hours blaming Terry McAuliffe and insisting that he didn’t go hard enough left....to inspire the Virginia voters.
A bunch of progressive groups put out a letter blasting him and insisting his loss is proof that the democrat party-still-hasn’t moved far enough left.
To which i say, ‘awesome’. Keep convincing democrat candidates that they need to move deeper into socialism.
That’d be perfect for us. We’ll just keep slapping them back, election after election.
And blaming McAuliffe for the Dem’s problems is like blaming one field lieutenant for losing the war.
As Scott Walker said yesterday: this was a republican route. Every democrat candidate every democrat candidate in Virginia lost-
A New Jersey democrat governor who should have coasted to an easy re-election ended up tied.
Moreover-if you care to notice anti-crime mayors’ candidates won-across the country. Minnesota voters chose to keep their police department-and rejected the ‘abolish the police’ moment, even in George Floyd’s own community-
And in a much-ignored mayoral race in Buffalo- an incumbent democrat managed to keep his job by running a write-in campaign against a socialist candidate who had beaten him in the primary.
This is a story that- proves- Americans are rejecting socialism.
This guy is already the Buffalo mayor, so he is the incumbent democrat, but his party’s voters rejected him in the primary in favor of an openly socialist candidate.
And so, he said: I’ll run as a write in.
Folks...write-ins never work. Never. And yet, this guy won a write-in candidacy with 60 percent of the vote. Because the other option was a socialist. And she even had AOC’s endorsement.
What does that tell you-about whether America is ready for socialism?
I’ve never seen anything like it. Brown is a democrat. But every buffalo resident who isn’t a socialist turned out to vote for him- republican, libertarian, independent, more moderate democrats. They wrote in the name of a guy who wasn’t even on the ballot. And he won.
And for one reason: the community was rejecting socialism.
And still, these jackasses inside the east coast progressive bubble are trying to sell the leaders of the democrat party on moving-deeper-into Bernie/AOC socialist territory.
They are so out of touch that Obama era lefty van jones was sitting on the set of CNN showing his ignorance.
He’s not a dumb guy. But he’s a creature of the DC beltway. Van Jones clearly-never- ventures outside of dc.
Listen to the ‘deep thought’ that he brought to their coverage Tuesday night, and how, to him...it’s just a theory: he ...just...kind of...feels like the democrats are coming off as arrogant bullies. It’s just...a feeling he’s got:
Unbelievable.
What’s even more astounding is that-for the first time all night-
For the first time in hours of their election coverage- Van Jones says something that’s accurate and relevant.
And the rest of the panel ignored it and kept right on yammering about how racist and supremacist Americans still are, and that’s the lesson tonight.
Okay.
Keep talking that way-because if Tuesday’s results provided lessons, this is another one: the American people don’t like being called racists and other terrible names just because they want to stand up for their kids, their communities, and their freedoms.
If the left’s response to this drubbing is really? going to be?... To just arrogantly smear the American voters with even more invective.
Wow.
Next fall and 2024 are going to be fun.
The message is crystal clear- and trust me-their fellow democrats in the fly-over states will understand this and try to get the message to the arrogant, elite, upper echelon of the party before next fall. But...
Their far-left agenda and the bullying that have come along with it are alienating voters, and very importantly, this is a democrat party that is not paying attention to the issues that Americans care about the most.
And they prove it every day: as prices skyrocket and the country is overrun with illegals- Joe Biden is off in Glasgow blathering on about climate change...and Bernie and squats with unions are attacking the banking industry.
It’s as ignorant as it is arrogant.
It wasn’t one issue that put Glenn Youngkin and republicans over the top in Virginia and elsewhere. Clearly- crime is a huge issue. Youngkin polled twelve points better than McAuliffe on crime.
Every mayoral candidate who promised to do better on crime- won.
The left’s cultural issues like critical race theory and transgender bathrooms backfired.
Covid-19
The covid-19 fallout is really interesting: it is clear that voters in Virginia and new jersey rejected bullying mask mandates and vaccination lock downs-
But here’s something no one is talking about: black voters didn’t turn out.
Black voter turnout was-very-soft in Virginia, new jersey, and elsewhere.
Why?
It’s probably because the democrat’s vaccination mandates at the local, state, and federal level are -deeply- disturbing to black voters. And we know this from polls and previous coverage.
I’m not guessing. A segment of black society distrusts vaccines, for historical reasons, and yet, here’s the ‘party of African Americans’ pushing bullying, overbearing vaccine mandates that are causing all sorts of front line workers to lose their jobs.
You know what color a lot of America’s front-line workers are? Black. Yeah.
People of all colors find themselves in jobs that are lower paying and leave them feeling powerless...and if you can’t afford to be combative over a forced vaccination because you need this job... You might be a little pissed off by the elected officials who are forcing it on you. Yeah.
There was serious buyer’s remorse, here.
Glenn Youngkin and the republicans had all of these issues to use...to skit-scat and bee-bop all over McAuliffe and the democrats...
And the Dems had what?
Trump bashing and insisting that a deeply unpopular agenda was going to bring about a ‘new America’ that no one wants or asked for.
I never thought i would see a major political party this out of touch-but today’s democrats have totally lost sight of several gut-check issues for the American people.
Somehow, today’s democrats are pro-crime and pro-criminal and anti-prison.
Somehow, today’s democrats think you shouldn’t be raising -or feeding-your own kids, and that our public schools should be left wing indoctrination centers as test scores plummet to embarrass and concerning new lows.
Somehow-today’s Democrats reject Dr. King’s vision of a colorblind society and think re-teaching racism is a positive move.
Somehow, today’s democrats think that Americans want open borders and unchecked illegal immigration.
And somehow-today’s Democrats think that-most-Americans out agree with all of this, and that those who don’t are such a small sliver of society that it’s okay to smear and insult and dismiss them.
