Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

I've said it before but what is sad about the Dems is that at a time when they should be introspecting, they're looking to shift blame for their own failures, ensuring that the DNC establishment doesn't actually change. From the riots to the physical attacks to the refusal to accept the results, it's not a good look. This election wasn't actually a referendum on Trump, it was a referendum on what passes for the modern representatives of the liberal left in America, the Democratic party.

Democrats, you have completely and utterly lost touch with the common man, whose concerns used to be at the very center of the political left.

They're blaming the loss on everything, from sexism of Bernie supporters to Russia to fake news to everyone who voted against them being stupid. The left finally got an actual populist that talked about actual real issues like trade deals, stopping monopolies and putting term limits on Congress, and what did the DNC do? They crushed him to continue the failed policies of the liberal establishment.

They have abandoned their core principles. What passes for "liberal" today in America has almost nothing to do with classic liberalism (individual rights, freedom of thought/speech...etc). The great liberal tradition that rejects regressive dogmatic ideologies and which is compassionate to the working class stiffs that build the country is now gone. The left-wing movement in this country, at least going back the last 20 years or so, hasn't really been one of left-wing economics or individualistic free thinking, or using government to improve the lives of the working and middle classes. What's passed for left-wing politics in this country is really just identity politics: promising to give various handouts to some identifiable minority group (blacks, women, illegal immigrants, lgbt...etc).

Today that electrician stringing up wires of homes in Wisconsin, that welder putting together steel plates in Pennsylvania, that man fixing an elevator in Ohio, the many men across the country with dirt under their nails from working with their hands....these aren't your people anymore.

Instead you are now the party of the gender studies graduate with manicured nails, lecturing others about the evil racist sexist America, telling the struggling white working class that they hold white privilege and therefore hold an eternal debt to all non-white people based purely on the color of their skin.

The DNC is the the party of those who go absolutely nuts when a Christian baker doesn't want to be forced to bake a cake for a gay wedding, yet instantly jumps in to defend insanely backwards ideologies like Islam when yet another Muslim mass murders innocent homosexuals.

It is the party of collusion with media to mislead the public, of corruption and saying nice empty platitudes that have been filtered through 5 focus groups as to not offend anyone while doing the very opposite of these platitudes.

It is the party of Black Lives Matter, the oppression Olympics, of 20 different gender pronouns, virtue signalling and all the noxious ideas like "social justice" that claim that all difference in outcome must be due to some etheral discrimination, and that places the collectivist forced equality of outcome over the rights of an individual.

It is the party of the elitist air of moral superiority, of ivory tower attitudes holding contempt and instantly discounting the views of regular people that don't hold a degree studying Critical Theory or the works of Juddith Butler.

And what has this disconnect lead to? The following:

Republicans have won a majority in the House of Representatives, with 238 seats.

Republicans have won the majority in the Senate.

Republicans now hold 33 Governorships, with a gain of three seats on November 8.

Republicans control a record 68 of 98 state legislative chambers.

Republicans now hold more total state legislature seats, well over 4,100 of the 7,383, than they have since 1920

A former reality TV star with no government experience whatsoever won the White House.

President Trump will have one Supreme Court vacancy to fill immediately and could potentially add at least two more justices before his first term is finished.

The GOP now controls all levels of our government, it is the most powerful it has been in over 80 years according to Real Clear Politics and Washington Post.

Come the midterms in 2018, the electorate map looks really good for the GOP and they could easily win enough seats to pass the threshold needed for them to start changing the Constitution.

And it wasn't because of Trump's brilliance or the Republicans, but because of YOUR failures.

You could have prevented this. You could have kicked out the out of touch elitists and candidates that can't connect with the average person, you could have listened to the common man instead you treated them like utter garbage, with the insufferable arrogance of guilt tripping and shaming everyone who disagrees with your identity politics nonsense.

You can get mad at me and continue down this path if you want.

But you made this bed for yourself. And god damn do you deserve to now sleep in it.

The left is committing suicide.

This thread is the "Donald J Trump Inauguration Thread", but the left wants to double down on what lost the election for them. To formulate an effective response, you have to understand the situation and craft a workable plan that will lead towards your goal. Instead, these circus freaks on the Left are showing that they are immature and dangerous children, not to be trusted with anything important, especially the government.

- You want to end gerrymandering? Great. Me too. Push for it. But remember that gerrymandered results favor the establishment and are only a lagging indicator of the basic direction of the electorate. And Trump is not yet the beneficiary of that. He's after the status quo and has been opposed by the establishment of both parties and most of the entrenched monied interests in the world.

- You are offended by Trump's alleged treatment of women? If you tolerated Bill Clinton's history of sexual assault and Hillary's history of attacking his accusers, you are simply a hypocrite not to be taken seriously.

- You think that Trump will try to take too much power for the Executive Branch? And you supported Obama? Trump will quickly undo much of Obama's legacy precisely because Obama usurped powers that should have been the legislature's. He was unwilling or unable to work through the republican system of government. Trump has already started untangling the undemocratic mess of the last 8 years while you bloviate about Hitler.

- You are unhappy that US is not taking enough immigrants? Push for legislation that will increase the number of legal immigrants, which is already at a number around 1 million per year. But that's not the way you and Obama want it done. You support ignoring existing law by declaring "Sanctuary" and proclaiming new rules like "Dreamers" that contradict Congress. Your disdain for a free people making their own rules and laws became clear to those who voted against your candidate.

Instead of being sidetracked by minutia like the size of the crowds being held up from entering the mall by the security forces, listen to Trump's Inaugural Speech. It was a very aggressive attack on the status quo. He made it in a setting that in the past has lent itself to fluffy rhetoric that was meant as much to hide their real plans as reveal their intentions, most of which revolved around protecting the lucrative business as usual..... and getting reelected.

So many of you LetsRun lefty geniuses scoffed and laughed at Trump. "He'll have to withdraw." "He doesn't even want to be President." "He'll be out of the Republican race by the end of summer." "He's unable to get the votes of women, or Hispanics, or blacks, or etc." "He'll lose in a landslide so big the Republican Party will be destroyed." "His campaign is amateurish and unable to run an effective campaign." "His transition is in chaos. " And the stupidest distraction of all: "The Russians won it for him."

You can continue to underestimate him and make yourself look like jackasses, but all that fury and noise will only further strengthen his position.

You don't have to dance every time Soros plays the music.
