The New Attack Begins...That Didn't Take Long

It never fails.  The Democrats lost the election yesterday, and today, they already began the new attack on Donald Trump and the GOP with the aid of the mainstream media.  The attack has two prongs.  First, the Dems are trying to change the meaning of their loss into something sinister about the GOP and the average American.  On CNN Van Jones tried to portray Hillary Clinton's loss as some sort of racist move by whites.  It doesn't matter that both Hillary and Trump are white.  Jones says that Hillary lost because of what he calls "whitelash".  After all, all GOP voters are racists, right?  Elsewhere, Trump is portrayed as about to unleash some sort of disaster on the minority groups in the country.  I read one story this morning about how Trump was planning to stop federal funding for AIDs drugs (untrue), prohibit all abortions (also untrue) and remove gays from the military (ditto untrue).  The attack on the Trump supporters as the "basket of deplorables" is so ingrained in the Democrats and the media that they go right on with it even after they lose.

The second prong of the attack is on the GOP and its future.  Trump won, the Republicans won the house and the senate, the GOP picked up governorships and state legislative seats, but the articles announce that there is about to be a civil war among Republicans.  We get told that the divisions among Republicans are so deep that the party no longer stands for anything.  If it weren't so disgusting, the attack would be so stupid as to be unintentionally funny.  After all, you can be sure that the civil war among Democrats will actually be real quite soon.  The forces who supported Sanders are quite likely to try to get rid of the Clinton loyalists who rigged the primaries as best as they could.

The key to dealing with these new attacks on the Republicans is to see them for what they are and to realize what they are not.  They are the failing attempts by a defeated power structure to try to hold onto some power.  As long as people realize the idiocy of most of what the Democrats and the media are saying, those attempts are doomed.  The truth is that the Democrats would do better if they would recognize the reality of what happened rather than to create a mythological or sinister explanation for the result that leave the Democrats and their failed ideology blameless for their loss.
