Time for Democrats to accept reality
The Hill ^ | 04/19/19 | ELIZABETH HARRINGTON

Posted on 04/19/2019 7:43:29 PM PDT by little jeremiah

Democrats have been living in a fantasy world since the clock struck midnight after November 8, 2016. Rather than accept reality and the results of historic victory of Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton in the last presidential election, Democrats have clutched to conspiracy theories.

The first fantasy was that the 2016 election was tainted by “fake news.” When that backfired, because after all it was the mainstream media that had to apologize for its biased coverage of the race, the narrative had to change. Democrats then settled on another conspiracy theory, hand woven by the Clinton campaign and deeply entrenched within the Obama administration Justice Department that was led by collusion truthers.

It could not be that their unlikeable, untrustworthy, and inauthentic candidate, dogged by decades of scandals, who never bothered to campaign in Wisconsin had fairly and resoundingly lost to a man who connected with the forgotten men and women of this country with a clear and strong agenda. Democrats had to find a new scapegoat. They claimed that Vladimir Putin plotted to “subvert an election” and that Russia helped “swing it for” Trump. We have been living in their fantasy world where every single thing revolves around Russia ever since 2016.

Democrats and the wing pundits concocted a conspiracy in which Trump was a “Russian asset” compromised by Putin. The reality is that Trump is tougher on Russia than Barack Obama, who had “more flexibility” in his relationship with the Kremlin. After an exhaustive review spanning two years, the special counsel found no collusion. The investigation “did not establish that members of the Trump campaign conspired or coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.”

Democrats have been living in a fantasy world where words can lose all meaning.

A lot of regular Dem voters are leaving the party in large numbers. The Dem party cannot count on 95% of black voters picking the D candidate any more, and many Hispanics are also realizing that Dem positions are not helping them either. 34% of attendees at Trump's last rally were Dems. The Democrat party is dead, it's just twitching for a while.

They could not accept that Trump would unwind much of 0bama’s Marxism.

They might never come out of their fantasy world. I think they were in it long before 2016.

They can’t let go...the cemocRATS have nothing else.

Everyone is wise to the idea that the democRATS are trying to replace us. The public has got no reason to vote FOR the democRATS, so the best they can do is to try and get people to vote against Trump.

Oh please. Trump is going to be impeached, and if enough GOp in the Senate lose their spine, he’ll be removed. And the sad part is the citizens won’t do a damn thing about it.

The Author realizes she is talking about the Democrats, right? They are the manifestation of Group Think.
They are not giving this up. They are just Like a Junk Yard dog with a Bone.

Democrats accept reality?!! You have willingly forgo reality just to BE a democrat. This is wishful thinking on the author’s part. The dems will never stop until they are politically destroyed.

Of course they will be politically destroyed.

But there is a difference between the Dem hardcores, elites and big names, and a goodly number of run of the mill voters who vote D because their parents did, and have believed the lies that Dems care about the little people, are honest, etc.

Ever heard of the Walk Away movement? Started by a Dem? It’s huge. How about Blexit? Started by Candace Owen, I believe. Blacks leaving the Dem plantation.

I have. And they give me some hope. But so much of our society has been taken over by leftists, we’re in a bad way. They have no honor, no belief in God, no honesty and they will destroy rather than relent. It’s gonna take a lot of work to set things right.

George Soros for them, obviously.

Like trying to tell a schizophrenic to stop listening to the voices in his head.

These people ain’t right in the head. Time and way past time to quit pretending otherwise.
