As the nation learned after the first presidential debate between then-Democrat contender John Fitzgerald Kennedy, perhaps the last American president I had any respect for, and Richard Millhouse “I’M NOT A CROOK” Nixon on September 26, 1960, in Chicago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYP8-oxq8ig , that being the first-ever televised debate between presidential candidates in this country in our history, visual images not only matter, they matter greatly!
Consider, for example, the 1988 presidential campaign of Michael Dukakis, who to make himself look manly and in command, had himself filmed riding around in the turret of a tank, which political stunt ended up humiliating him and ending his chances at the presidency, because he ended up looking all the world like Rocky the Flying Squirrel with his helmet on riding on that tank, and never got over that comparison:
Dukakis and the Tank: The Making of a Political Disaster
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBlEOvIBTEs
As that video of the first Kennedy/Nixon debate starts, the visual image of how calmly JFK was sitting there, obviously a man very much in command of himself, unlike Kamala Harris today, versus Nixon, who looked like he was sitting there waiting to find out if he got his girlfriend pregnant, made all the difference in the minds of the American people, and Kennedy was elected American president.
Indeed, The Social Science Journal, Volume 54, Issue 1, March 2017 at Pages 67-75 carried an article titled “Debunking Nixon’s radio victory in the 1960 election: Re-analyzing the historical record and considering currently unexamined polling data” by Jon Bruschke and Laura Divine, wherein was stated as follows concerning that moment in American history which was to change how we think about presidential politics in this country, lessons the present-day Democrats have either forgotten about, or don’t know about, to wit:
Abstract
It is widely reported that Nixon won the first of the 1960 presidential debates among radio audiences while Kennedy carried television viewers, and further that Kennedy’s victory translated to an electoral victory.
It is thus assumed that style trumped substance when politics entered the television age.
However, the Nixon radio victory emerged in only a single poll conducted by Sindlinger and Company.
Considering other polling data reveals Sindlinger’s finding is likely the result of a Republican bias in the sample and not a mass defection of Democrats swayed by Nixon’s substantive arguments.
Voters found Kennedy ahead on substance as well as style.
Introduction
The presidential debates in 1960 marked a watershed moment in American history.
Television had become the defining development in American culture and the number of households with a television rose from 11% in 1950 to 88% by 1960 (White, 1961).
Over 100 million viewers watched at least part of one of the four debates (Mickelson, 1972).
For the first time ever two candidates for the world’s highest office had a national television audience judging their performances.
The first of the four contests has received the most attention.
There is a dominant account of what happened in that first debate and how that influenced the overall election.
First, it is believed that John F. Kennedy was more attractive than Nixon in general, and Nixon is believed to have won the debate among those who listened on the radio.
This is widely interpreted to mean that television favored style over substance (Schudson, 1995, Self, 2005, Vancil and Pendell, 1987).
Second, it is widely assumed that the first debate was by far the most important one (Ambrose, 1987, p. 575) and indeed it had the largest audience (Self, 2005).
A third conception is that the loss in the first debate translated fairly directly to a loss in the election two-and-a-half months later.
White (1961) presented the math this way: “over 4,000,000 voters…ascribed their final decision on voting to the debates alone…and 72 percent (or almost 3,000,000) voted for Kennedy.”
“If these extrapolations are true, then 2,000,000 of the Kennedy margin came from television’s impact on the American mind…since Kennedy won by only 112,000 votes” (p. 322).
But Frankel’s (1994) more succinct account more closely reflects collective memory about the event: “Nixon lost a TV debate, and the presidency, to John F. Kennedy in 1960 because of a sweaty upper lip” (p.30).
end quotes
Speaking as someone with memories of those times, visually speaking, Kennedy came across as an honest man, while Nixon came across as a thug, and debate all one wishes, those images, like the image of Micheal Dukakis riding the tank, speak louder than words, because the human brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text, and 90 per cent of the information transmitted to the brain is visual.
Which brings us to today, and the highly visual “bread and circuses” campaign of Democrat Kamala Harris and running mate, the slovenly and pudgy Timmy Walz jumping around and skipping and prancing around on the stage like a real dip****, and his weird wife Gwen, and what visual images they all were!
Did HARRIS/WALZ go down to defeat because NOBODY in America wanted to be stuck with goofy Gwen Walz in their lives for four unendurable years?
For me, that alone was a good reason to vote AGAINST HARRIS/WALZ!
As to Timmy Walz, he came across visually as Elmer Fudd chasing Bugs Bunny with a shotgun while muttering “DAT DANGED WABBIT,” or Larry, Daryl and Daryl’s other brother Timmy (cue, Youtube Best of Larry, Darryl, and Darryl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7YTE8Qj ... B7&index=2 )
But another good reason to vote against HARRIS/WALZ can be found in this Sky News video of HARRIS/WALZ fans and supporters burning the American flag outside the DNC (cue, Man tries to save burning American flag while being shoved by anti-Israel protesters outside DNC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JbaJfOCQNlI ) where Kamala Harris was inside strutting her stuff on stage like she was Tina Turner (cue, Tina Turner – Nutbush City Limits (Live from Arnhem, Netherlands) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MRZIzs9pE5o ).
Who in their right minds in America would want to hand that crowd political power in America if HARRIS/WALZ had won this election?
But the plethora of negative graphic visual images related directly to HARRIS/WALZ at the Democrat National Convention did not stop there, as we see ANTI-POLICE/ANTI-LAW AND ORDER HARRIS/WALZ supporters confronting police outside the DNC here (cue Youtube Police clash with protesters who breached DNC security perimeter https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyH-4Uojh6g ) and here (cue Youtube Confrontation breaks out between protesters and police at the DNC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWQ1I2x1AxY ) and here (cue Youtube WATCH: Protestors again clash with police outside the DNC https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7njuAWBdLY ).
So, in the end, the sane, rational and lucid people of America said quite firmly, we’re not going back to four more years of BIDEN/HARRIS!
We’re turning the page on BIDEN/HARRIS.
We’re seeking a New Way Forward that does not involve Kamala Harris, the misogynistic thug Doug Emhoff, a beater of women, the slovenly Timmy Walz, his weird wife Gwen, Barack Hussein Obama, Michelle Obama and the Democrat party.
And that, folks, is the news!

REFLECTIONS ON THE 2024 ELECTION
Re: REFLECTIONS ON THE 2024 ELECTION
THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR November 24, 2024 at 10:45 pm
Paul R. Plante says:
According to an article in the Washington Examiner titled “Democrats turn on each other in battle for soul of the party” by Max Thornberry on 24 November 2024, the hapless, weird, out-of-touch-with-reality Democrats are nearly three weeks removed from their first popular vote defeat in a presidential contest in two decades and are riven about how to avoid a similar defeat in four years.
According to the article, Sen.-elect Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) didn’t mince her words when she said her party needs to rethink not just its messaging but where its identity lies.
“It’s not just what you’re saying but from what place you are talking about those issues,” Slotkin said.
“I think No. 2 is, personally, I think that identity politics needs to go the way of the dodo.”
“People need to be looked at as independent Americans, whatever group they’re from.”
Those words were an eerie reflection of a warning Rep. Abigail Spanberger (D-VA) gave Democrats four years ago when they won the White House but failed to make huge gains in other contests after spending months touting the benefits of defunding the police and socialism.
And then we come to the WOKE WEIRDNESS that epitomizes the Democrat party today, as follows:
Democrats largely abandoned their “defund the police” messaging this time around.
But Republicans dashed to remind voters about another 2020-era position most Democrats hadn’t abandoned — the issue of transgender female athletes competing against biological women in sports and a broader embrace of forcing a unanimous view on the contentious topic.
One of Trump’s most successful campaign ads revolved around Harris’s 2019 positions saying she would approve of taxpayer-funded transition surgeries for illegal immigrants who were in prison.
His message that Harris was for “they/them” and Trump was for “you” hit home to the tune of pushing the race 2.7 percentage points in his favor.
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) tried to verbalize his problem with his party’s position and might wind up getting driven out of the House for it.
“Democrats spend way too much time trying not to offend anyone rather than being brutally honest about the challenges many Americans face,” Moulton said days after the election concluded.
“I have two little girls, I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, but as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”
The backlash was swift as Democrats lined up to separate themselves from Moulton’s comments and cling closer to the policy he was trying to move away from.
Massachusetts Democratic Party Chairman Steve Kerrigan said Moulton’s words “do not represent the broad view of our party,” and a school system in Moulton’s district rejected his message “in the strongest possible terms.”
Moulton’s own campaign manager, Kyle Davis, quit working for the congressman and demanded he resign his seat immediately.

Paul R. Plante says:
It is now 25 days since the massive and well-deserved trouncing of the hapless, out-of-touch-with-reality, ill-fated and poorly run HARRIS/WALZ campaign, and we are as divided as a nation and as a people as we were in 1775, and again in 1861, and after that, the latter-1960’s.
In 1775, we were split into two factions – those who were for the King in England, and those who were for liberty and self-rule, and there followed just over seven (7) years of bloody warfare with members of families divided and fighting each other to the death, which conflict killed off one percent of the population back then, with between 25,000 and 70,000 American Patriots dying during active military service, with approximately 6,800 being killed in battle, while at least 17,000 died from disease, the majority of whom died while prisoners of war of the British, mostly in the prison ships in New York Harbor.
The American Revolution, a Civil War in actuality, as it was American against American as much as British troops against Americans, especially in the bloody Mohawk Valley of New York state, was second only to the Civil War in terms of losses to the population.
Then we had the Civil War, which was Americans against Democrats, with some 500,000 who died on the Union and Democrat sides.
And we were just getting back together as a people, when Viet Nam in the 1960’s tore us back apart again.
And now, here we are, being torn apart by the very people who told us they were “uniters,” not dividers, as we saw in the Acceptance speech of coronated Democrat candidate Kamala Harris on August 22, 2024, to wit:
I know there are people of various political views watching tonight.
And I want you to know: I promise to be a President for all Americans.
You can always trust me to put country above party and self.
To hold sacred America’s fundamental principles.
end quotes
And what a load of totally transparent BULL**** that all was, which is why HARRIS/WALZ spun, crashed and burned, as they did and should have, because those two clowns, Kamala Harris, who couldn’t stop her very annoying cackling that had her sounding like a hyena (cue Youtube, Kamala Harris Cackling – 2 Minute Compilation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbWDpHhNZbc ), and “cuddly” Timmy Walz (cue Youtube, Media Fawn Over Kamala’s ‘Cuddly’ VP Pick Tim Walz https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AaCN_6DKFNc ), were the most un-presidential candidates we have had dished up to us from the bottom of the political barrel in the entire history of this nation!
The absolute worst!
And while it is said that politics makes for strange bedfellows, never in my life have I seen such an array of strangeness as was the case with HARRIS/WALZ, who did not have supporters so much as they had a menagerie (a strange or diverse collection of people) as their followers, and some very angry and strange creatures they were, as we see in this Youtube video of a dude who actually thinks or believes he is a woman going off big time on the employees of a Popeye’s because somebody dared to call the dude, who is obviously a dude, regardless of what he might think about it, “sir”:
Trans Person Freaks Out At Popeyes After Hearing Employee Say ‘Sir’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_16sj0JN3VI
Which takes us back to the full transcript from President Joe Biden’s address to a joint session of Congress on 28 April 2021, where we have Joe Biden, this being the very same Joe Biden featured in this video of Joe standing next to the dude who runs India, yelling out like an imbecile about who he was to introduce next, which was the same Indian dude standing next to him (cue, Youtube, “Who’s Next?” | The Moment Where Joe Biden Forgot To Introduce PM Narendra Modi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrrT3H0niBk ) calling that dude who freaked out in Popeye’s “brave,” to wit:
To all the transgender Americans watching at home – especially the young people who are so brave – I want you to know that your president has your back.

Which is why that dude was able to go into that Popeye’s and act like a real dangerous A-HOLE, because BDEN/HARRIS had his back, which in turn made the employees of Popeyes, and by extension, the American people, the political adversaries and enemies of BIDEN/HARRIS and subsequently, HARRIS/WALZ which brings us to a Washington Examiner story titled “Democrats turn on each other in battle for soul of the party” by Max Thornberry on 24 November 2024, where we have the TRUE BIDEN/HARRIS and HARRIS/WALZ Democrat party self-revealed, as follows:

Talk about being ANTI-WOMEN, people, that is incredible – in its own words, the Democrat party of BIDEN/HARRIS is FOR the two little girls of Seth Moulton getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete, which makes the two little girls of Seth Moulton second-class citizens in America, and because Seth Moulton sought to speak for his two little girls, as we see in the Washington Examiner story titled “Democrats prepare to oust Seth Moulton for speaking out about transgender athletes” by Annabella Rosciglione on 27 November 2024, Seth Moulton is in big trouble deep with the Democrat party of BIDEN/HARRIS and HARRIS/WALZ, to wit:
Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) could be in the hot seat within his party for comments he made on Democratic views of the LGBT community, which could result in a primary challenge.
Moulton received pushback from local Democratic leaders and LGBTQ advocates nationally and in Massachusetts for comments he made about transgender youth in sports after Democrats’ losses in the 2024 election.
Following Democrats’ losses earlier this month, Moulton suggested that the Democratic Party’s acceptance of biological males playing in girls’ sports could be traced to the party’s losses.
Moulton said Democrats had spent “too much time trying not to offend anyone.”
“I have two little girls.”
“I don’t want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or formerly male athlete,” he said.
“But as a Democrat, I’m supposed to be afraid to say that.”
Since the comments, which resulted in his campaign manager resigning and many Massachusetts and national Democrats condemning him, Moulton has defended his remarks.
He argued that he is providing a voice to a popular but rarely expressed view among Democratic lawmakers.
“I’ve never had more people, parents and, by the way, a lot of LGBTQ community members, reach out to me and say, ‘Thank you for saying this,’” Moulton told the New York Times.
“Some of them are just speaking authentically as parents.”
“Some of them believe the trans movement has gone too far.”
“It is imperiling the progress we’ve made.”
Because of this, some strategists also believe that other Democrats could seize on these comments and run a race against Moulton.

I am an American citizen who was born here, and who has served OUR country in war, not the warped and twisted and weird country of BIDEN/HARRIS where men who claim to be women are proclaimed to be “brave” (ready to face and endure danger or pain; showing courage; lionhearted; manful; stouthearted; gallant; ballsy; endure or face unpleasant conditions without showing fear) by Democrat Joe Biden, this being the same lost-in-space “Rambling Joe” Biden who was cut off by his Propaganda Minister Karine “BINDER” Jean Pierre while giving a rambling disjointed speech in Viet Nam, where he referred to Viet Nam being a “third world country (cue Youtube, Rambling Joe Biden Abruptly Cut Off During Speech https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zg25440ledA ), and accordingly I have and possess the indubitable (in a way that is patently evident or certain; unquestionably; without doubt) right to have and hold my own opinions about matters of public importance, like weird men going around today in this time of BIDEN/HARRIS claiming they are really women (cue Youtube Trans woman claims biological men can make milk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZll9tJ9OTM ) while being called “brave” (cue Youtube Biden tells transgender Americans ‘Your president has your back’ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ly6-kl5Tygw ) by the senile and weird Joe Biden, who himself sniffs and chews on babies (cue Youtube, Joe Biden ‘bites’ baby at White House Halloween party https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA550BAoNlo ) even if my opinions do not happen to be in synch with those of Joe Biden.
Nor do I have to embrace the weird WOKE BULL**** being spewed by Joe’s assistant president Kamala Harris (cue Youtube Kamala Harris Faces Backlash as Old Clip Promoting ‘Wokeness’ Resurfaces https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53A6wcgbxEM ), and in fact, I have the right to reject this “WOKENESS” BULL**** that is being peddled here in America by Kamala Harris, who just went down in a resounding spectacular defeat to a man who is a convicted felon, which is a clear sign of just how unpopular the “WOKE” Kamala Harris really was to MAIN-STREAM AMERICANS like myself who are sick and tired of having this “WOKE” BULL**** jammed down our throats, as if there was something wrong with us if we are not more WOKE than cackling Kamala Harris.
And that takes us to an article (cue Youtube, Sharon Stone Calls Out ‘Uneducated’ Americans After Trump Election Win https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpqM_Tkp0lI ) in the Independent titled “Sharon Stone condemns ‘ignorant, arrogant’ Americans for Trump win” by Inga Parkel on 28 November 2024, where we have as follows from the same Sharon Stone (cue Youtube, Sharon Stone Breaks Silence on Producer’s Alleged Demand for Sexual Favors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhBRJqzOL5U ) telling us just how very hard life can be for a Hollywood film star far removed from the reality we commoners in this country like myself inhabit, and before we get there, for all of those who haven’t a clue as to Sharon Stone really is, which is likely most of us, Sharon Vonne Stone (born March 10, 1958) is an American actress known for primarily playing femmes fatales and women of mystery on film and television, and she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1990s, which in turn has made her an expert today on American presidential politics and why Kamala Harris is such a BIG TIME loser.
Our Sharon, bless her Hollywood heart, is the recipient of various accolades, including a Primetime Emmy Award, a Golden Globe Award, and a nomination for an Academy Award and she was named Officer of the Order of Arts and Letters in France in 2005 (Commander in 2021).
After modeling in television commercials and print advertisements, Sharon made her film debut as an extra in Stardust Memories (1980) and played her first speaking part in the horror film Deadly Blessing (1981), and in the 1980s, she appeared in such films as Irreconcilable Differences (1984), King Solomon’s Mines (1985), and Above the Law (1988), and she had a breakthrough with her part in Paul Verhoeven’s science fiction film Total Recall (1990), before rising to international recognition when she portrayed Catherine Tramell in Verhoeven’s erotic thriller Basic Instinct (1992), for which she earned her first Golden Globe Award nomination.
Then her performance as a trophy wife in Martin Scorsese’s crime drama Casino (1995) earned her a Golden Globe Award along with a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress, and her other notable films include Sliver (1993), The Specialist (1994), The Quick and the Dead (1995), Catwoman (2004), Broken Flowers (2005), Alpha Dog (2006), Bobby (2006), Fading Gigolo (2013), The Disaster Artist (2017), Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese (2019), and The Laundromat (2019).
So that, people, is who we have calling us “ignorant and arrogant” Americans, which takes us back to the Independent, to wit:
Sharon Stone has hit out at “ignorant” American voters who supported President-elect Donald Trump in the 2024 election.
end quote
To which I would respond that she has that wrong – that it was the truly ignorant people in America who threw away their votes and campaign contribution money backing a clear loser like Kamala Harris and her running mate, the cuddly knucklehead Timmy Walz, and with that clarified, let’s go back to her LA-LA LAND (a euphoric, dreamlike mental state detached from the harsher realities of life) take on this presidential election just past, to wit:
The Basic Instinct star, 66, made the remarks on Monday (November 25) at a panel discussion at Italy’s Torino Film Festival, where she was honored with a lifetime achievement award.
During the event, Stone was asked about the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, which happened to fall on the same day as her award.
end quotes
The International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women?
Do tell (Cue Youtube Rep. Moulton defends comments on transgender athletes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8sRsF57hUf4 )
Going back to Sharon, with her net worth in 2024 estimated at $40 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth, which makes her just another one of us common folks here in America (I wonder how much she pays in taxes, and if she pays her fair share) we have more of her rant as follows:
“We have to stop and think about who we choose for government,” she responded.
“My country is in its adolescence,” Stone added.
end quotes
HUH?
Adolescence (the transitional phase of growth and development between childhood and adulthood)?
I’ll tell you what, Sharon it’s not the country that is in its adolescence – it is people like yourself out in Hollywood who are the ones in your adolescence – still out there playing at make-believe with your lives dictated not by reality, but by a film script written by some writers of make-believe out there, which takes us back for more, to wit:
“Adolescence is very arrogant; adolescence thinks it knows everything; adolescence is naive and ignorant and arrogant, and we are in our ignorant, arrogant adolescence.”
end quotes
WORD SALAD ALERT, people!
Going back to the Independent, the ignorant rant continues as follows:
“We have not seen this before in our country.”
end quotes
BULL****, Sharon we have seen this and worse and here we still are, which again takes us back to the story, to wit:
She further explained: “Americans who don’t travel, who 80 percent don’t have a passport, who are uneducated, are in their extraordinary naivety.”
“What I can say is that the only way that we can help with these issues is to help each other.”
“I’m all in for Kamala Harris,” Stone said in August.
end quotes
And good for you, Sharon, which makes you another one of those ignorant yet very arrogant Hollywood movie stars and A-listers who were just made fools out of by Kamala Harris getting whipped in the polls by a convicted felon, and that folks, is the news!

Re: REFLECTIONS ON THE 2024 ELECTION
THE CAPE CHARLES MIRROR December 3, 2024 at 7:19 pm
Paul R. Plante says:
So, getting back to the aftermath of the spectacular BILLION + dollar fiasco that was billed as the campaign of the ill-fated HARRIS/WALZ duo (GET THE HOOK!), we come back to the question, after having had the pathetic laughing hyena Kamala Harris jammed in our faces these last four months or so, and thank the heavens she is on her way to political obscurity as the loser she is, of whether Kamala was ever anything more than just a pretty face and RUBBER-STAMP in the Biden Administration as we saw in a Washington Examiner article titled “The Kamala Harris cringe continues” by Eddie Scarry on 3 June 2021, as follows:
Vice President Kamala Harris had one job: Be the woman of color Joe Biden needed at his side to win the presidency.
That job was completed in November, and now, it’s clear that Harris doesn’t know what to do with herself.
end quotes
And to get that answer, the best source I can think of is the mouth of Joe Biden himself (cue Youtube, Joe Biden completely forgets what he’s talking about in excruciating press conference March 25, 2021 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdfvIvYPPRo ) where we hear Joe referring to Kamala as the vice president as follows:
“I’m a fairly practical guy.”
“I want to get things done.”
“I want to get them done consistent with what we promised the American people, and in order to do that in a fifty-fifty senate, we’ve got to get to the place where I’ve got fifty votes, so that the vice president of the United States can break the tie, or I get fifty-one without her.”
end quotes
And there we have it, people – Kamala Harris was never anything more than a MINDLESS RUBBER STAMP in the Biden administration, someone old Joe kept around so she could cast the votes in the Senate old Joe wanted cast, and that was it.
And shades of December 1860 are in the air, people, as once again in the dis-United States of America, we hear the weird and whacky and “dangerous to democracy” Democrats talking about seceding from the Union (cue, Youtube, Dem floats ‘radical’ idea of seceding from US to counter Trump admin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8Z19OsT4g8 ).
Which takes us to an article in The Hill titled “Opinion: Liberals’ reactions to 2024: Isolation, insurrection, secession” by Jonathan Turley on 1 December 2024, where we have as follows:
Democrats who campaigned on the need for “joy” and “saving democracy” are strikingly unjoyful about the results of the democratic process in 2024.
Before the election, slips like the one of President Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage” were immediately denied or deflected.
But once voters had given the Republicans control of both houses of Congress, the popular vote and the White House, leading Democratic figures and celebrities have dropped all pretense of civility.
They are now being open about their contempt for voters, calling them “f—-ing morons” and “arrogant, ignorant” adolescents.
end quotes
Yes, people, that is the contempt the loser Democrats have for us LOYAL American citizens who overwhelmingly rejected their choice of HARRIS/WALZ, and that is how the COASTAL ELITES of the loser Democrat party view us – as
“f—-ing morons” and “arrogant, ignorant” adolescents, which is really them looking in the mirror, given they are the “f—-ing morons” and “arrogant, ignorant” adolescents who blew over a BILLION dollars backing HARRIS/WALZ, only to have them come in a distant second in the two-horse race!
Going back to the article, it continues as follows, to wit:
Now that the public has made its choice, leading figures are condemning the majority of voters as a mix of misogynists, self-haters and fascists.
Whoopi Goldberg, 69, even joined the “4B” sex strike against men.
Others seem to be morphing into exactly what they said Trump would become as president: isolationist and insurrectionist.
Some have responded to the losses by retreating further into echo chambers protected from opposing views.
Many dumped X in favor of BlueSky, a new social media safe space for liberals who fear being triggered by opposing views.
Notably, censorship advocates such as Nina Jankowisz have fled to BlueSky.
The site is portrayed as a return to the good old days when liberals controlled all of the social media and maintained a massive censorship and blacklisting system over political discourse.
New York Times tech reporter Kevin Roose wrote a column last week that offered the familiar “I can breathe again” account: “After an hour or so of scrolling through Bluesky the other night, I felt something I haven’t felt on social media in a long time: free.”
It is the ultimate irony.
This election shocked many on the left precisely because they were writing and commenting on each other within their hardened media and political silos.
They are unlikely to improve themselves by receding further into that safe space to rave about the “f—ing morons” who make up the majority of America.
end quotes
Talk about a bunch of adolescents, alright!
Going back for more, we come to the talk of secession, to wit:
Some liberals are very publicly fleeing the country.
Sharon Stone (who called American voters “uneducated”) is reportedly off to Canada.
Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi are off to a mansion in Cotswolds in England.
Democratic megadonor Reid Hoffman is also reportedly exploring a departure from the country after his millions of dollars failed to produce a victory for Kamala Harris.
Some, however, want to take part of the country with them.
New York State Sen. Liz Krueger (D-Upper East Side) has received praise for her call for New York to join Canada.
Where Alexandre Dumas believed that ‘Nothing succeeds like success,” some believe that, after losing an election, nothing succeeds quite like secession.
Krueger previously sought to block Trump from the ballot in the name of protecting democracy.
That would have barred the 45 percent of New Yorkers who voted for the president-elect, but those voters would find themselves either Canadians or refugees under her proposal.
Krueger suggested that secession simply makes sense when the majority of the country disagrees with you.
She believes New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont could form a new Canadian province.
“I got back some unofficial responses and heard this is probably sellable in Ottawa,” she said.
“And look, if we were Europe, in the length of time we’ve been a nation, for Canada, if we were European countries, our borders would have moved around 20 times by now, right?”
She explained that this is all just “thinking outside of the box.”
The box that she and other liberals find themselves in is called “democracy,” and they don’t like it.
Just for the record, the last time people thought “outside the box” and seceded, we got a war with roughly 700,000 people killed.
end quotes
And with that last sentence in mind, this is a good place to take a break for station identification, but don’t touch that dial, because we will be right back with more on the meltdown of the worthless Democrat party in America.
