It’s Hard to Win When You Don’t Know Why You Lost

By Ray DiLorenzo

Kamala Harris recently made her first major speech in San Francisco attended by the elite faithful. How courageous of her. She did this all while President Trump was speaking to a packed house in Michigan, of all places.

The Democrats are still searching for answers as to why they lost in November. That alone says much. They find themselves lost in a wilderness they have created for themselves. We can help them.

The Dems had it all. They had the swamp they cherished so much, the bureaucracy that learned how to govern under the table. They had their DEI, which instilled in them a warm sense of entitlement, enabling anyone to aspire to become an airline pilot, a doctor, or even a president, regardless of their qualifications. They had trillions to work with, spreading it around to every anti-American socialist cause. They provided soldiers with the chance to don high heels. Teachers were busy, not teaching but propagandizing while deciding if any of their students were of the wrong gender.

During the first Trump presidency, the Dems saw that the rank-and-file Democrats were exiting faster than a road runner. They arranged the win in November of 2020, and among the first major actions of the new presidency was to open the border wide.

The Border Crisis, Useless Spending, and Resulting Inflation

They needed more Democrats— more pliable Democrats—and the thousands of deaths they knew they knew going to cost on both sides of the fence was not even a minor consideration. They let in tens of millions of unvetted migrants, thousands upon thousands of hardened criminals, nations emptying their prisons, taking advantage of a diminished president and an administration that simply did not care. The Democrats have yet to comment on the disappearance of over 300,000 children.

Almost none of the migrants were capable of taking care of themselves. They required massive amounts of socialized healthcare, housing, and food. Biden spent upwards of $2 trillion on a program that did nothing for ordinary Americans.

When you count the worthless climate change programs, the manufactured pandemic and its vaccines, the destruction of a healthcare industry that will take years for trust to return, and the Inflation Reduction Act that treated nothing but symptoms of a Democrat disease called useless spending, it was no mystery where the inflation came from. And the inflation touched everyone.

National Security

Biden signaled weakness. If there was one event that gave the world a glimpse of our diminished strength, it was the Afghanistan withdrawal. A military command structure drowning in DEI could not withdraw from a country where we should have had control. It was common sense to withdraw American civilians first. They didn’t. It was common sense to move military equipment out in an organized fashion. They didn’t. It was common sense to give our military the security they needed while withdrawing. They didn’t. They gave security to the Taliban.

You can blame Biden and NATO for the Ukraine war and the Iranian excursions into hybrid military operations against Israel and the United States.

Social Engineering & Woke Ideology

The Dems were long into a major disconnect from Americans who cared nothing for their cultural absurdities, their transgender bathrooms, their insistence that men compete on the athletic field with women, or paying tax dollars on soldiers’ gender surgeries and drugs for the rest of their lives.

People were shocked to see half-naked transgenders frolicking on the White House lawn, having their picture taken with a president who hardly knew where he was. Parents were not pleased with children’s Storytime read by drag queens in public libraries.

Critical Race Theory, social engineering, and blaming every ordinary American for the nation’s ills did not give the Democrats any advantage.

The Dishonest Mainstream Media

The media, in their effort to help Democrats, hurt them badly. They did what every journalist should never do…they picked sides. They tried to convince them that what Americans could see with their eyes was not reality. They censored conservative voices and demonized and misrepresented Republicans. And most of all, they refused to hold Democrats accountable.

Changing Demographics

Hispanic and Black voters, suburban voters, and the working class lost faith in a party that, it became obvious, was only thinking of themselves.

General Distrust of Institutions

Government institutions, public schools, the healthcare industry, and the media lost their way. The FBI and the justice system became political with the help of the media. They almost destroyed the greatest law enforcement agency in the world. Justice was subordinated to the ‘Get Trump’ campaign’. The education system stopped teaching and focused on providing just propaganda. The media was downright dishonest.

Anytime the FBI organized a raid on the political opposition, CNN was there in the middle of the night to cover it. In the 90-plus Trump rallies held during the 2024 campaign, CNN decided not to cover any of them except one. They were there waiting in Butler, Pennsylvania.

Rogue Democrat judges tell us we have to apply due process to 20 million illegal immigrants. They aren’t concerned about due process, only hatred toward Trump, with their media allies showing Trump rounding up poor, innocent MS-13 members. I never saw one complaint about the 1 million deportations under Clinton or the 2.5 million deportations under Obama without due process. It’s all show.

The medical institutions lost much of their credibility during the ‘pandemic.’ They refused to use affordable and effective treatments for what was a nothing burger disease. We are now paying for the results of unsafe and unnecessary vaccines. The whole pandemic incident showed all the signs of a planned chaos.

Republicans

Democrats made it easy for Republicans. Their excursions into absurdity gave the Right everything they needed to defeat the Democrats. They cared nothing for national pride and security, a rejection of globalism and global governance, a clear economic vision, parents’ rights, and a return to law and order and morality. The Democrats forgot all the basics, not just a few.

The Left will not understand. They will continue to scratch their collective heads until their hair falls out. They can’t accept or believe they lost so much when they had so much. Dems spoke a noble line of concern for ordinary Americans, but their actions proved the opposite. The Democrats ceased being the loyal opposition Americans have come to expect of their leaders.

Democrats wanted to change America from where it was to an entirely different country. They wanted a socialist, technocratic country where God no longer reigns and mankind, especially themselves, are above all, where any dream or desire, no matter how absurd, can be realized. They have learned nothing.

The Left was convinced that their ambivalence toward God and their constant repetition of lies and idiocy was going to carry the day. Stalin was wrong, repeated lies don’t work, but truth always does.
