Leftists apologize?
That would be, uh, never.
In four years, we went from Democrats essentially saying we had to tolerate the lawless devastation of dozens of American city centers to fully endorsing armed 20-year-olds rifling through your bag before you use public transportation to deal with the ordinary criminality they allowed to fester.
… The murder rate during Covid lockdowns went down in nearly all of the Western world, but it spiked in America because Democrats actively supported political violence they perceived would help them win an election.
We need to understand the seismic shift going on. It would be foolish and counter-productive for Democrats to take comfort in the avoidant and self-serving idea that this is all about Trump the man, that this is just some kind of cult of personality.
It isn’t. Not in the slightest. In fact, many people are going to vote for Trump in spite of his character flaws. But we have seen a side-by-side comparison between conservative policies and Lefty ones. And the Lefty ones just look bad. The data are in, for anyone with eyes to see.
Democrats are simultaneously hitting the panic button and desperately casting about for explanations as to why Trump is winning, but the answer is at once simple and overwhelming: They haven’t reckoned with the fact that the electorate, including a lot of traditionally Democrat constituencies, are starting to notice that in recent years the default right-of-center position on just about every major political issue has proven correct, where the left-wing ruling class has been quite definitively wrong.
It is very threatening to Democrats that this is NOT a cult-of-personality thing–THAT could just be waited out or otherwise dealt with. But no, this is the voice of the people condemning Leftism itself.
And so “Trump” is a threat on an existential level. The intensity of Lefty Trump hatred is fueled by fear–fear of annihilation and becoming… nothing.
