Leftist politicians including Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris begged voters to ignore their own eyes and ears in service to a partisan narrative that didn’t ring true. Then they had the audacity to tell voters that the real problem was the average voters lack of understanding.
Let’s just stipulate that all the horrible things Democrats said about President-elect Donald Trump are accurate, so we don’t have to argue about them. The presidential candidate Democrats called “Hitler” is more preferable to a majority of American voters than having Democrats explain away one critical issue after another.
Against the backdrop of the Democratic echo-chamber, those of us who disagree are indeed unwashed deplorables in need of perpetual education. If we resist, we’re a threat to democracy itself. Those are the only options.
The problem for Democrats isn’t that America needs more or better partisan explanations; it’s that voters don’t like what they’re hearing. Even in the face of electoral defeat, Democrats remain stubbornly focused on protecting the institutions, bureaucrats, and democratic norms just rejected by voters who really only want a fair shake at the American dream.
