There will lots of post mortem exams for Democrats to explain the thumping they took in 2024--lost both House and Senate and the Presidency.

But, for Mad Dog, the simple truth is: They just don't like us. Voters may or may not like Trump, but they will vote for him so they can vote against Democrats.
Listening to Hispanic voters interviewed on NPR, who said they don't like boys playing in girls sports, don't like people who don't work, or who sneak into the country or those who defend them, Mad Dog thought: So the vitriol from FOX and the Right really did get absorbed.
Americans really do not like Democrats. We are not likeable because we throw our arms around people other Americans do not like. Drug addicts who litter the streets of Manchester with their syringes and needles. We don't feel sorry for them. We don't like them.
Republicans don't like a lot of people, and they don't care if people do not like them. And, in the end, the folks who care too much about not offending, wind up offending more people than those who don't care who they offend.
The photo/video of the frozen Joe Biden standing next to a laughing Kamala, who was flanked by her husband and next to him a man with shoulder length hair, wearing a dress, a transvestite or something, was enough to send a chill to Mad Dog's marrow--beyond cringe worthy. What was that man doing in a photo opportunity during election season? What message was the Democratic party sending America?
What does that do to the Honduran immigrant, naturalized U.S. citizen, church going man, when he sees Joe Biden embrace all that? As the man said: the Democrats are the party of freaks and weaklings, the party of people who talk about being afraid, or who talk about many genders--they want his little girls playing soccer against girls who used to be boys. This immigrant wants to assimilate into a culture with clear cultural and gender identities, not the Weimar Republic.
The people who are seen to be creepy weirdos are not the guys who talk about immigrants eating pets, who bed porn stars, or say their daughters are so hot they would date them if they weren't their fathers.
The creepy weirdos are now the Democrats.

I don't know how widely this clip was viewed, but who among the Blue Campaign could have seen this without cringing and seeing the doom of the Democrats?
Perhaps mad dog should read Evan Barkers numerous accounts in Newsweek of being a former Democrat fundraiser who voted for Trump after experiencing the racism and egregious hypocrisy of the Democrat Party elite.
ReplyDeleteOn your advice I did read a lengthy article by Evan Barkers. Maybe I read it too fast, but I was confused and disoriented by it. She clearly had a dysfunctional family--no fault of her own--her mother sold 6 wedding rings from her 6 marriages to finance schooling for Evan, but the affronts and offenses she lays upon Obama and the Democrats seemed misplaced. In fact, as was true of the author of Hillbilly Elegy, the best thing that happened her her family was her brother's time in the Navy--until he was killed there. As was true of J.D. Vance, whose own dysfunctional family could not provide a real home, the US Marines provided one for him. And in both cases, the beneficiaries of government training held government up as the ultimate villain.
ReplyDeleteSomehow it brought to mind the comment from Jake LaMotta, speaking of all the wrongs in the world, he said the prize fighting provided clarity: "At least in the ring, I know who to hit."
Not sure what you read. If you google Evan Barker and Newsweek you can find three articles written by an ex Dem Fundraiser who voted for Trump. You can also google DNC this week and layoffs and see how Democrats laid of hundreds of their staff with severance or health insurance benefits. That illustrates what the current Democrat party thinks about workers. Millions of dollars were squandered by Dems on celebrity and hollywood endorsements and that fact was featured on the front page of the NY Times.
ReplyDeleteshould read WITHOUT severance or health insurance
ReplyDeleteI wonder whether Mad Dog who wrote these lines in 2016 now sees an ironic reflection of his own views which neatly conform to this described syndrome.????
ReplyDelete" Certain characteristics of the syndrome were noted: 1/ A dread of conspiracy 2/ A certainty that America was being threatened by change which would be harmful and 3/ Frustration with the "Mainstream Media" which was said to be ignoring, ignorant of or even complicit in the conspiracy 4/ A feeling on the part of the spokesmen they were personally threatened or had already been harmed, even though by every observable criteria, these people, whether they were rich or Redneck, were not being harmed at all. 5/ A sense of impending doom rooted in the conviction the forces conspiring to destroy America were largely unseen, unappreciated by the distracted masses of hard working, well-meaning Americans who were preoccupied with their own mundane but less critical problems and the fate of the world rested with the talented, eternally vigilant individuals who vainly sounded a call to arms to a sleeping giant of a population.
More recently, another characteristic symptom of people afflicted with this syndrome has emerged: A rapid, high pitched voice, sort of a screech, which might bring to mind a man who sees his airplane crashing to earth while his fellow passengers snooze, read, listen to music on headphones, oblivious to the approaching catastrophe. Typical of this syndrome is hallucinations of socialism or communism or fascism seen crawling up walls, lurking behind seemingly benign looking Congressmen, Presidents or Speakers of the House."
So who wrote this description? It is pretty vivid. Sounds like a portrait of FOX. Thomas Edsal NYT column today talks about the problem of Dems who refuse to discuss Trans issues and insist on a dogma without criticism. That’s something which may appeal to you.
ReplyDeleteAlso cannot understand the offense of laying off "staff" without health insurance or severance. Are we talking about campaign workers? Most campaign workers I know are young gig workers who would never be so naive as to expect any of that. Or are we talking Capitol Hill staff? Most young people who take these jobs are well aware of the risks and the lack of benefits. Not that I'm happy about that, but hard to say to what depredations and who suffered them from your comment.
