Dems Done In by the Politics of Hate
American Thinker ^ | November 18, 2016 | Derrick Willburn

Posted on 11/18/2016 3:51:30 AM PST by Kaslin

Today’s Democrat Party spends an exorbitant amount of time preaching against “hate” and “the politics and policies of hate.” It has seemingly become the central theme of all the party touches. What the Democrats don’t realize is that they have so perfected the repeating of “hate, hate, hate” that their own message is what has done them in.

Since Barack Obama’s election in 2008 the Democrat Party has steadily drifted into this “label them all haters” territory and since that time the party has been absolutely obliterated at the polls. Democrats have lost the White House, Senate, and House. They now control just 13 state legislatures and Republicans now sleep in 33 governor’s mansions.

Yet even after the election of Donald Trump last week, Democrats continue to dutifully stick to the playbook of calling everyone (but themselves) “filled with hate.” They are name-calling the very people they want to vote for them! How’s that a good strategy?

Hillary Clinton spent the majority of the past year speaking about, running ads about, giving campaign speeches about, and focusing during debates on “Donald Trump and the Republican’s hateful rhetoric.” What Hillary and the Democrats cannot seem to figure out is that they are insulting massive portions of the American electorate by confusing common sense with hate and a rejection of their own dogma.

The vast majority of us Americans can differentiate between the two (common sense and hate). Today’s Democrats seemingly cannot.

They won’t even put down their hate long enough to figure out what really happened to them.

And they turn their own voters into snowflakes. Don’t they realize how many Americans don’t want to be pigeonholed like that?

Don’t worry they won’t. Liberalism thrives only on hate and they’ll be even more unhinged during Trump’s presidency.

May I submit that dems were done in by blacks.

PA, Michigan and Wisconsin all go blue if blacks show up like in 2012 and if black men dont give her ONLY 80 percent of their vote.

I know we shouldn’t be thrilled at 80 percent, but I believe that means only 70 percent voted for her. That’s a YUGE step forward for blacks.

They won’t regret it. Trump is a genius reaching out to them.

One county alone in each of those states, had blacks voted like they did in 2012, and we’d have a president clinton.

Thanks blacks :)

I guess I wouldn’t disagree with that but I’m just gonna say the Dems were done in by AMERICANS.

I stand corrected.

May I resubmit and say that Black Americans did their part this time, thanks to Trump’s message.

Expand this into a book entitled, "When Haters Hate Hate."

The MSM is feeding this hate by saying everything Trump does is questionable. They are unrelenting, so there will be no healing.

Their favorite slogan Love Trumps Hate says it all, the ONLY thing they love is hate, real or perceived.

the party has been absolutely obliterated at the polls.

Now it is time to start prizing them out of the cities, or to isolate the cities and cut them off.

Don't forget the work of the lovely young sisters Diamond and Silk, who have led the way for black people to begin questioning what the Democrats have ever done for them (besides keeping them mired in intractable poverty).

True, people like Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams have been at the forefront for years, but they are academics whose main appeal is to intellectuals. Diamond and Silk are intelligent, but not academics; they speak to the culture.

Never interrupt your enemy when he is defeating himself.

For that reason, and that reason alone, I don’t like to see articles like this posted. Of course, I like to hear what is in the article and I revel in seeing the Democrats gradually destroy themselves over time, but why do we have to lay out for them in black and white the solution to their electoral disasters?

No dis to you for posting this is actually intended, though.

When you are out of ideas or never had them to begin with, or your loony tunes ideas are rejected, rhetoric is your only talking point...

Even us idiot deplorables understand that...

WHO are these two? :)

I’ve read so much about them here but never really followed up.

Just regular folk? Did they have a big following?

And yes. MUCH more easier to relate to than intellectual writers for many blacks. And whites for that matter.
