1. The Democrats. They can't believe what has happened.. Or why.
We should commiserate......at least to the extent that we on the Right believe in Democracy, and recognize what Lord Acton meant, and that we need two active, American political parties.
2. I have a long-range view of history, so I can empathize with the Left: what they have been able to do has worked so well, for so long, how can it have failed now????
It always worked!
âAntonio Gramsci, the philosopher who became the iconic thinker of the 1960s, laid down the blueprint for precisely what has happened in Britain: the capture of all society's institutions, such as schools, universities, churches, the media, the legal profession, the police and voluntary groups. This intellectual elite was persuaded to sing from the same subversive hymn-sheet so that the moral beliefs of the majority would be replaced by the values of those on the margins of society, the perfect ambience in which the Muslim grievance culture could be fanned into the flames of extremism."

3. But it looks like Obama was wrong about American exceptionalism.......it is different from other nations. Lincoln, the Republican, had it right:
âYou can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all of the people all of the timeâ
4. " The Democratic Party just canât help itself. For its own psychological reasons, it canât move beyond the âdenialâ stage of grief. Doing so would jeopardize the partyâs sense of purpose, identity, and ego. Right now, the âpatientâ cannot heal itself because it wonât accept the diagnosis.
A sane, rational actor would take a step back and consider his own role in losing three branches of government, a majority of statehouses, and two-thirds of the Supreme Court. And then theyâd develop a better product.
5. And so, the losing losers of the Democratic Party continue to lose. They canât even counterpunch effectively, because they overreact to every feint. Theyâre so ridiculously undisciplined, theyâre chasing shadows, following the champ around the ring like a puppy dog â eating a buffet of rights, jabs, and uppercuts.
Meanwhile, the most-vocal members of the liberal alliance are pleading for more theatrics, more fireworks, and more enraged opposition:
And itâs exasperated activists who expect a stronger Democratic response. Progressive Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez told Politico her colleagues in the Senate should âblow this place up,â including âa halt on all Trump cabinet nominees.â
In the meantime, let's try not to laugh......too hard.....at the losing losers who keep fighting a war they lost.
