My suggestion to Democrats is the same as it's always been.

Figure out why everybody who has capability to think for themselves hate you, and stop talking like you're better than everybody else because you went into lifelong debt for a piece of paper that in America signifies not much more than you've been sufficiently reprogrammed by the Left wing ideology and that your critical thinking skills have been removed.


You've not listened so far, and now you've lost a very large part of your base.

And apparently you're prepared not to learn any lessons and continue to do more of the same going forward.

Democrats will never win another election unless they do a major overhaul of their party.

We hate everything you represent.

Trump is fine.
He is also your current President.

Since I was small boy I noticed that people who weren't doing well never blamed themselves. Instead, they blamed politicians, anybody other than themselves. Even Democrats have fallen for the explanation that it is not the fault of the losers. To blame the losers is "blaming the victims" in the Democrats' parlance. I wish the Democrats would realize that losers cause their own problems and nobody can fix those problems when the losers are creating more problems for themselves as fast as they can.

You will notice that Democrats are prospering more than Republicans. The cause is obvious if you live in an area where Democrats and Republicans are approximately equal numbers: the Republicans are generating their own problems. When an area is all Republican or all Democrat it is hard to see the dynamic at work, but when there is an almost equal number, it becomes a glaringly, loudly, unavoidable obvious that Republicans just aren't good enough to prosper when there is competition around. Republicans get really angry about being losers and they do what they have done since I was small: blame politicians. The losers refuse to understand that their problems are 100% their fault, not the fault of some politician.

Biden pardons his son. World pretends to be shocked.

Trump in his first term reduced the system to rubble, granting clemency of one kind or another to Rod Blagojevich, Michael Milken, Joe Arpaio, Dinesh D'Souza, Bernie Kerik, Paul Manafort, Roger Stone, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, George Papadopoulos, and seven (!) Republican congressmen convicted of crimes: Chris Collins, Duncan Hunter, Steve Stockman, Rick Renzi, Robin Hayes, Mark Siljander, and Randall "Duke" Cunningham. And, of course, Charles Kushner, his daughter's father-in-law.

Today’s Comic Is Relevant to the Shabby Life of all Trumptards:

Trumptard Father speaks: Son, I now give to you the Sword of Destiny, which my Father had from his Father, who had it from of Old.

Trumptard Son speaks: Thanks, but you're an assistant manager at a KFC. What destiny is the sword good for?

Father: It gets you *A* destiny. I didn't say it was great.

Son: Then what's the point?

Father: Point is, after every unforgiving day of adulthood, you can come home from work, and instead of drinking three sad beers and playing Call of Duty, you put your hand on the hilt, close your eyes, and whisper “It Is As The Prophecy Foretold, Sword Of My Fathers!”

(Son receives sword that indicates Trump will be President)

Son: Why don't therapists promote this approach to life?

Father: They'd all be out of work.

Written on the hilt in Latin is “You Will Do Okay”.

Destiny 3 https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/destiny-2 shows what happens if a Trumptard, such as Trump, becomes ambitious to change the world.

Wow. You and your college "educated" buddies are so enlightened.


I prefer not "knowing everything" and making decisions for myself.

It's pathetic how easy it is to get idiots to parrot everything they say when they've convinced those idiots that everything they say is right.

You are a sad, sad person.


Keep shitting on other people for the next 4 years and see where it gets you. It's clearly working out great so far.

All you have to do is look at the state of California in 2024 to know that everything written above is a pure lie.

6ix, you are at the bottom of hierarchy because Trumptards are NOT adaptable people. Trump campaigned on a promise that you do NOT have to change because Trump will force the world to change for you.

If you look at the map of California, the rich parts are controlled by Democrats and the poor parts far from the coasts are controlled by Republicans who were Okies running away from Oklahoma's dust bowl during the Great Depression. Some of that angry poor white trash from the inland counties full of Okies becomes the homeless in the prosperous counties. The rich counties are bordered by poor counties full of the descendants of the 1930s angry poor white trash.

They still live squalid lives but refuse to blame their bad decisions for their bad lives. It's all the Democrats' fault and always will be.)

The Democratic Delusions That Gave Us Trump’s Second Term

The Trump Reaction and what comes next

By George Packer | December 2, 2024, 6 AM ET

https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2025/01/trump-reelection-
voter-demographic-change/680752
/

The Roosevelt Republic—the progressive age that extended social welfare and equal rights to a widening circle of Americans—endured from the 1930s to the 1970s. At the end of that decade, it was overthrown by the Reagan Revolution, which expanded individual liberties on the strength of a conservative free-market ideology, until it in turn crashed against the 2008 financial crisis. The era that followed has lacked a convincing name and a clear identity. It’s been variously called the post–post–Cold War, post-neoliberalism, the Great Awokening, and the Great Stagnation. But the 2024 election has shown that the dominant political figure of this period is Donald Trump, who, by the end of his second term, will have loomed over American life for as long as Franklin D. Roosevelt’s dozen years as president. We are living in the Trump Reaction. By the standard of its predecessors, we’re still at the beginning.

This new era is neither progressive nor conservative. The organizing principle in Trump’s chaotic campaigns, the animating passion among his supporters, has been a reactionary turn against dizzying change, specifically the economic and cultural transformations of the past half century: the globalization of trade and migration, the transition from an industrial to an information economy, the growing inequality between metropolis and hinterland, the end of the traditional family, the rise of previously disenfranchised groups, the “browning” of the American people. Trump’s basic appeal is a vow to take power away from the elites and invaders who have imposed these changes and return the country to its rightful owners—the real Americans. His victory demonstrated the appeal’s breadth in blue and red states alike, among all ages, ethnicities, and races.

For two and a half centuries American politics alternated between progressive and conservative periods, played between the 40-yard lines of liberal democracy. The values of freedom, equality, and rule of law at least received lip service; the founding documents enjoyed the status of civic scripture; the requisite American mood was optimism. Although reaction has dominated local or regional (mainly southern) politics, it’s something new in our national politics—which explains why Trump has been misunderstood and written off at every turn. Reaction is insular and aggrieved, and it paints in dark tones. It wants to undo progress and reverse history, restoring the nation to some imagined golden age when the people ruled. They want a strongman with the stomach to trample on the liberal pieties of the elites who sold them out.

This is why so many voters are willing to tolerate—in some cases, celebrate—Trump’s vile language and behavior; his love affairs with foreign dictators; his readiness to toss aside norms, laws, the Constitution itself. Asked by pollsters if they’re concerned about the state of democracy, these voters answer yes—not because they fear its demise, but because it has already failed them. They don’t think Trump will destroy democracy; he’ll restore it to the people.

The triumph of the Trump Reaction should put an end to two progressive illusions that have considerably strengthened it. One is the notion that identity is political destiny. For a long time, the Democratic Party regarded demographic change in America, the coming “minority majority,” as a consoling promise during interim Republican victories: As the country turned less white, it would inevitably turn more blue. In the past decade this notion was absorbed into an ideological framework that became the pervasive worldview of progressives—a metaphysics of group identity in which a generalized “people of color” (adjusted during the social-justice revolution of 2020 to “BIPOC”) were assumed to share a common experience of oppression th
