The election was over almost three weeks ago. So what are the lessons that those on the left have drawn from their loss? There are a few:
1. The results were probably rigged through fraud. For year after year, as efforts were made to prevent voter fraud, these same people told us that there is no proof of elections being stolen. Any effort to prevent voting fraud was nothing more than racism, or so we were told. Now that Hillary lost, the same folks are certain that the election was stolen by internet hacking even though there is not proof of any such hacking and the voting machines are not even connected to the internet.
2. The Russians stole the election by the use of "fake news" and propaganda. The Washington Post is publishing a list of sites that push "fake news". The reality, however, is that the Post's list is nothing more than a collection of conservative or libertarian sites that disagree with the leftist view of reality. The Post and the rest of the mainstream media slant all of their coverage towards the leftist position, and that's fine with these fools. When the conservatives or libertarians present opposing viewpoints, it is "fake news". The reality is that this position is nothing more than a continuation of Hillary's calling Trump supporters a basket of "irredeemable deplorables". They can't just disagree; they have to demonize.
3. There were too many Americans who voted against their own interests; if the Democrats change their messaging a bit, then these same Americans will see the light. In many respects, this is the weirdest conclusion of all. No one missed or misunderstood the message of Clinton or the other Democrats. It was, after all, that very message that led to the loss of the election by the Democrats.
The left is refusing to accept the truth that their candidates and their positions have been rejected. They think the loss is due to something else. That's a great conclusion for the rest of America. It means that we are likely to see more of the same from the Democrats next time around. It will make any recovery by the Democrats just that much harder.
