Explaining to Indoctrinated Democrats why they Lost Big in 2024

            Democrats Taste [Foresee] Victory in November [2024].  But are They Too Confident?  At the Democratic National Convention, party leaders warned against happy talk and said former President Trump remains a formidable opponent.

                                    The New York Times, 8/23/24

Somewhere between 10 and 12 million illegal aliens were invited into the US by the Biden administration.

President Biden could not flee Afghanistan without getting 13 Marines killed and abandoning to the terrorist Taliban $50 billion in munitions, a billion-dollar embassy, and a $300 million retrofitted huge airbase.

But Biden and his handlers proved far [better] when their target was fellow Americans.

[T]hey stop[ed] the congressionally approved … border wall, subvert[ed] federal immigration law, emasculate[d] the border patrol, and ensure[d] that millions of people around the world could simply walk into the U.S. illegally, unaudited with impunity.

[W]hy did Biden or his puppeteers do something so injurious to their fellow Americans?   Why cost the nation hundreds of billions of dollars in massive new entitlements? Why swamp the social services of our own poor citizens?  Why turn loose half a million criminal aliens and gang members to prey on our own weak and defenseless?

Was [it] to alter the demography in one fell swoop? To grow the dependent class, thereby expanding government?

[Or] was it pure spite born of hatred of half the country?

Stanford University History Professor Victor Davis Hanson, 5/9/25

Democrats are not trying to solve difficult situations. They are solely interested in opposing Trump. … What’s [their] solution to the 37 trillion-dollar debt? To illegal drugs smuggled in from Mexico? To ending the wars in Gaza and Ukraine?  To the yearly trillion-dollar trade deficit? To preventing Iran from building nuclear weapons?  To the exploding cost of health care?  President Biden had no specific plans to improve any of those things and it looks like his party is carrying on Joe’s tradition. … Much easier to oppose solutions from the Trump administration. 

            Bill O’Reilly, 5/6/25

            [Here’s] why voters are done compromising with the ‘America Last’ elite[s]:  One of the main forces driving [Trump’s] populist revolt against [D.C.] stems from a simple truth: The ruling class openly prioritizes foreign interests over … American citizens.  When millions of Americans, spanning political and economic divides, called on their leaders to put America first, the response was rejection.

It is most amusing to watch the Democrat Party and the Democrat Party Propaganda Collective or DPPC (aka the “mainstream” or “legacy” media) struggle to understand why, the Democrats and Kamala Harris, best known for her fake “joy” and “word-salads”, lost so decisively in the 2024 election.   Prior to the election, the New York Times, Michael Moore, and other “progressive” outlets, fuelled by their blinding hatred of Donald Trump, confidently predicted a Harris victory.  On election night, one after another “mainstream” media election panel of commentators started optimistic for Harris.  There were allegedly big turnouts of young people in university towns, big turnouts in Detroit, Philadelphia and other major Democrat controlled cities, a big turnout of women.  No, they did not see any signs of Hispanics or black men breaking to Trump.  All wrong or misleading

After all, had they not rigged up a slew of lawfare attacks against Trump, even managing to secure a laughable conviction (for who knows what?) by a Trump-hating partisan New York AG, Letitia James, a partisan Trump-hating DA, Alvin Bragg, a biassed Trump-hating and personally compromised “judge”, comrade Merchan, and a biased New York jury drawn from a jury pool that’s over 90% Democrat (just the odds the Democrats and DPPC favour in their various lawfare attacks and other partisan schemes).  What they did not count on is that for every person they turned against Trump with all this silliness, 1.1 people saw through the farce and began to support Trump even more. 

Furthermore, it never seemed to occur to Democrats to try to win the election by listening to the peasants and developing policies that would make their lives better.    Instead, they doubled down on policies that they believed would make the Democrat Party better, import more potential Democrat voters from around the world.  Who cared if a lot of women and little girls were murdered by illegals, or if they brought killer drugs into the country, or gamed the system to make US taxpayers subsidise their hotel rooms, daily necessities and health and medical care!  Democrats simply dismissed the obvious rise in crime as fake news.  Since most of these needy people Biden-Harris smuggled into the country can be counted on to vote Democrat someday, the Democrats went all in on their pro-illegals and pro-criminal policies.    With the essential help of the DPPC the peasants can be lulled into enough of a daze that they won’t notice the fraud being perpetuated on them. 

But why would the Democrats and DPPC buy into such absurd anti-American policies?   Part of the answer is that the Democrats have been overtaken by ideologues of one anti-American stripe or another and an ideology is a recipe for not seeing reality.  For example, the Democrats pro-criminal policies derive from the Marxist ideology that sees criminals as victims of capitalism. 

Marx sees capitalism as a system that … produces a surplus population who cannot get jobs. The poor then get criminalized, partly, perhaps due to the fact that some resort to crime simply because they have no food or means of living.

In fact, it is quite easy to obtain a “means of living” in the US.   One simply does certain things and does not do certain other things, e.g., one does one’s homework and does not get involved in illegal activities.  This is apparently too much to grasp for the ideologues in the Democrat Party and DPPC as they return home to their mansions in their safe neighbourhoods after virtue-signalling all day at “work”.   For the record, comrade Marx did not foresee that about capitalism either.

            So, the answer to the Democrat’s question is quite simple.   The Democrats, blinded by hatred for Trump and conservatives, stopped listening to the voters and, guided by the far left-wing of their Party, adopted, and are still adopting, absurd unpopular anti-American, pro-illegal and pro-criminal policies.  Since their policies are so unpopular with the peasants, they proceeded, shamelessly, to lie about them, e.g., that the border is secure, for 4 years.  They lied about Biden’s mental health and undemocratically installed him as the 2024 candidate.  Then, when he fell apart in the debate with Trump, they pushed him out, and undemocratically installed Kamala Harris, created a “moderate resume for her as a “moderate”, and praised her incoherent “word salads” as genius itself.    The reason they are still doubling down on these absurd anti-American policies is that they made a “deal with the Devil,” the wacko Left, and now fear angering them by adopting common sense pro-American policies.  

After suffering a hard defeat, Democrats are now intent on taking a hard left.  … [E]xpect [this] to continue. Simply put, Democrats no longer have enough non-extremists to stop their stampede by the lemmings of the left.  

                                    The Hill, 12/06/24

Democrats are living in a prison they have built for themselves and don’t know how to get out of it, hence the melodrama, violent rhetoric, embarrassing infantilism and profanity.

  1. The article makes it very clear that despite Trump’s election and a slim Republican majority in the House and Senate we are living through some pretty grim times.

  2. The Demoncrats against deporting illegals that are violent gang members. They are still pushing the abuse of children with their transgender cult and they are still for destroying women’s sports by making them compete against pretend “women” with dicks. They are trying to stop Musk from searching for government fraud and waste and malfeasance. They don’t want voter ID and they are for allowing illegals to vote as witnessed by the fact that almost every Democrat in the House just voted against the “Save Act” to ensure that only citizens are voting. They are for “swatting” conservatives who post on X, destroying property and firebombing Teslas, and using lawfare and unconstitutional edicts from rogue judges to stop Trump’s agenda.

    Just a dozen more reasons to never vote for a lying, anti-American Democrat ever again.
