Democrats: Please Do Not Listen to Advice From This Attractive Young Woman

Posted on | November 29, 2024 | No Comments

One of the great things about being an ex-Democrat is that you don’t have to stop hating Republicans, you just hate them for different reasons. Like, when I was a Democrat, I hated Republicans for being greedy warmongers, but now I hate them for being phony sellouts who pay lip service to conservative principles, but never conserve anything. As a Democrat, I wanted Republicans to be more “moderate” (i.e., willing to vote support Democratic policies) but now I despite all “moderates.” The more right-wing, the better, as far as I’m concerned. You can take John Thune and John Cornyn and put them on the same boat with Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, and leave them all together on an ice floe.

One of the things that puts me at odds with most other journalists is that I didn’t become a journalist because of politics. I became a journalist because I needed a job, and as a small-town newspaper reporter, politics doesn’t really matter. You’re not trying to change the world or influence people’s opinions, you’re just trying to get the facts right and file your story before deadline. It wasn’t until I was in my mid-30s that I stopped being a Democrat, and then got hired at the Washington Times, and everything else has proceeded from there. But I was never a Young Republican type and didn’t spend my youth doing the kind of things that most would-be political commentators do, which is important to explaining my renegade attitude toward politics, generally.

All that is preamble to my praise of @Shoe0nHead. Back in the day — 10 years ago or thereabouts — I remember being a fan of hers on Twitter and sort of assumed she was a conservative, but in fact, she’s a kind of female Bernie Bro, a left-wing populist who hated Hillary Clinton for basically the same reason I hate John Cornyn, i.e., for being an unprincipled sellout. She no doubt strongly disagrees with me on most policy issues, but shares my contempt for “mainstream” politics and “establishment” politicians, and is hated by a lot of her fellow leftists simply because she tells the truth about such things. She did a post-election analysis of why Democrats lost that is so on-target that you simply must watch it:

 

It’s very important that Democrats ignore her advice, because otherwise, Democrats might win the next election, and bad things always happen when Democrats win elections. In the aftermath of their latest shocking defeat, the last thing we want is for Democrats to get a clue about why their “joy” campaign with Kamala Harris didn’t work. Please, Democrats, keep nominating idiots like Kamala Harris forever. Keep pandering to your grassroots “base” of disgruntled identity-politics crybabies and deranged fanatics who shut down Thanksgiving parades while chanting pro-Hamas slogans. That is obviously such a winning formula!

Sooner or later, I suspect, @Shoe0nHead will just give up on the Democratic Party, as everybody with any common sense eventually does. Whatever issue you care most about — the thing that makes you identify as a Democrat — one day the Democratic Party will fuck you over on that issue. They’ll sell you out in a heartbeat, if they think they can get some kind of advantage out of it, and if you complain about getting fucked over by Democrats, they’ll tell you that you are the problem.

Just ask my friend Cynthia Yockey, a lesbian ex-Democrat who somehow ended up as a Republican Party activist in Iowa, where she just helped Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks get reelected by a razor-thin margin.

Cynthia was (and in some sense, still is) a devoted feminist who, in 2008, was enraged by the Obama campaign’s mistreatment of Hillary Clinton. Eight years later, she supported Trump over Clinton and, while Cythnia can tell her own story, I’m sure she will agree with me that the great thing about being an ex-Democrat is that, at least when you get fucked over by the Republicans, they don’t call it “social justice.” See, that’s why this transgender thing was such a loser for Kamala Harris: Democrats are telling women that “social justice” requires them to surrender their rights and yield everything to men in dresses. And never mind the fact that thousands of young women are being permanently mutilated because of what I’ve called “The Rocky Horror Ideology Show.” Democrats insist that this is “progressive,” and therefore Cynthia Yockey or any other woman who objects to it must be denounced as a traitorous enemy.

Whose fault is it that Democrats lost? @Shoe0nHead is telling them exactly why they lost, which means that she is now a traitorous enemy, too. Anybody who tells the truth is an enemy to Democrats. And so, if the American people value truth, Democrats will keep losing elections forever. Let’s just hope they don’t listen to @Shoe0nHead.
