Clinton Bagman and Scumbag Terry McAuliffe Concedes Race
Classless Terry refused to concede last night but has finally issued a paper statement of concession. Arresting graphic showing all the places in Virginia where voters shifted Republican. Literally: All places. I don't see a single place where there's not a red arrow. The Times breaks the news to its fellow deranged leftist zealots:
Democratic Panic Rises as Virginia Loss Exposes the Party's Weakness Less than a year after taking power in Washington, the party faces a grim immediate future, struggling to energize voters without a presidential foil and losing messaging wars to Republicans. The menacing thunder couldn’t get much louder for Democrats. Few in the party had high hopes that their era of rule in Washington would last beyond the midterm elections next year. But the Republican resurgence on Tuesday in Virginia-- a state that President Biden won by 10 percentage points last year -- and surprising strength in solidly blue New Jersey offer a vivid warning of the storm clouds gathering as Democrats look warily to the horizon. For five years, the party rode record-breaking turnouts to victory, fueled by voters with a passion for ousting a president they viewed as incompetent, divisive or worse. Tuesday's results showed the limitations of such resistance politics when the object of resistance is out of power, the failure of Democrats to fulfill many of their biggest campaign promises, and the still-simmering rage over a pandemic that transformed schools into some of the country's most divisive political battlegrounds.Here's my take-away: This is cause for relief and happiness and vindication and even joy. And maybe even a newfound confidence in our... sanity. For five years -- or maybe fourteen, going back to Obama's first campaign -- we on the right have consistently told ourselves, "The left is going too far, the public will not have it, they will check and chastise the left for their lunacy." And yet, with some occasional setbacks (the Red Tide of 2010, Trump's momentous victory), the left has gotten crazier and crazier and nastier and more fascist and have paid very little price. In fact, they've mostly... prospered. This has left many of us feeling despondent, dispirited, and alienated from a country we used to love. We felt as though we were internal exiles in a country that was now occupied by a hostile, alien, lunatic force. But this win may indicate that the Slow Bus Public, even the Surburban Karens and Wine Aunts, may have finally realized that, yes, the left is quite insane and they are infecting and reinfecting each other with more viral insanity and cultivating their insanity and deliberately infecting our children with insanity and competing with each other in some psychologically morbid olympics of lunancy. And so there is comfort to be had in feeling: Ah, thank God! And I was beginning to worry that I was the crazy one here! That has immense personal benefits and it will also have great political benefits. A demoralized movement is a defeated movement. An energized movement is an advancing one. Meanwhile, Fox is Fox. Newsmax is bragging about calling VA four hours before Fox. They put up a graphic showing the order in which networks called the race. I think it went: 1. Newsmax
In Virginia, the Democratic nominee for governor, Terry McAuliffe, was beaten with relative ease by Glenn Youngkin, a Republican private equity executive and political newcomer. In New Jersey, Gov. Phil Murphy, a Democrat, faced a stunningly close race after being expected to coast to victory. In Minneapolis, voters rejected a ballot measure pushed by progressives that would have replaced the Police Department with a public safety department. Perhaps most strikingly, the crushing setbacks for Democrats in heavily suburban Virginia and New Jersey hinted at a conservative-stoked backlash to the changing mores around race and identity championed by the party, as Republicans relentlessly sought to turn schools into the next front in the country's culture wars. For Democrats, the results on the nation' single biggest day of voting until the midterms next year raised alarms that the wave of anti-Trump energy that carried them into power has curdled into apathy in a base that is tired of protesting and is largely back at brunch. Or, in what would be even more politically perilous, that the party's motivation has been replaced by a sense of dissatisfaction with the state of a country that has, despite all of Mr. Biden's campaign promises, not yet returned to a pre-Covid sense of normalcy.
2. ABC
3. CNN
4. MSNBC
5. Fox CNN and MSNBC might be flipflopped. Fox is a rotten joke. They insist on employing a hard partisan liberal as their chief election analysis, just as they insist on keeping a hard partisan liberal as the host of their Sunday interview show, just as they insist on keeping a hard partisan liberal as the host of their "media criticism" show. They insist on keeping a left liberal gasbag and Covid Karen as their business guy, and insist on keeping a liberal turd on as their daily news anchor to interview a plethora of NeverTrumpers and overt liberals. Anyone, or any organization, who believes they need to cling to liberals for purposes of "prestige" is, get this, liberal.

The dude was supposed to win by 15. Squeaking by a win with obvious fraud is not going to help him govern any better, making Jersey fall further into disarray and disaster (like Biden and America), laying all of the blame on him and everyone who helped get him to his stolen seat. It's just trying to keep the lid on the boiling pot a little bit longer.

The left has almost pulled the rope to their side time and time again. Yesterday the right pulled it back a bit, but the left is still only inches from winning.
This plays out every 2-4 years with the left getting closer every time to outright winning. "Winning" meaning that they completely and totally own the electorate and the machine to put them in office.
They're very close to that, even now.

I think too many on our side really did believe we were never able to win another election again. If anyone could rig an election it would be Terry McAuliffe.
If you have that mindset, how likely are you to volunteer, donate, vote, get your friends to vote, etc? All of this is necessary to win elections.
I feel like every time I say this, I have to preface that I DO believe election fraud happened in 2020. But maybe the focus should be fighting fraud and figuring out a path to victory instead of despair and hopelessness?

A lot of people I really like on the right are saying Virginia is not about Trump because it was solely about education and to move on from him. Guys like Dave Reaboi, Jesse Kelly, Cernovich and a few others.
I think it was both McAwful invoked Trump at every turn and Van Jones just called Youngkin the Trump Delta Variant.

In Virginia, the Democratic nominee for governor, Terry McAuliffe, was beaten with relative ease by Glenn Youngkin...
That's the New York Slimes.
"With relative ease."
Yes, it was obvious by 9pm that Youngkin won. Percentage-wise, hardly nothing changed after 9:30pm. But the Fake News had to wait another 4 hours to see if "something happened" to change the obvious.

That's interesting framing. "... struggling to energize voters without a presidential foil ..." is really quite remarkable. It might be that I am a cynic (or hopeful, but this is an odd era wherein those two positions are oddly interchangeable in many contexts), but that looks pretty damning to me. That reads like an acknowledgement that the Left can't win on position. They can't get people to vote *for* them, but rather have to get people to vote *against* the opponent.
That is a structural weakness and it has been noted many times before by many people, but this is never ever brought up by their own side. They can win a race of one, they need to go up against a monster (real or imagined and spun) to gain a victory (sans theft).

Um, this is exactly ass-backwards. The left always gets away with framing the culture war this way. We can't let them do that anymore.
They try to completely change something that, while not perfect, most people are happy with. Then when conservatives push back and say, "No, we're not happy with these changes you are trying to force on us," they scream, "Culture war! You're trying to start a culture war!"
It's like the Germans invading Poland and blaming it for causing the war because they tried to defend themselves.
The true culture warriors are the leftists. Conservatives are merely defending their values, not trying to upend the system. (Hint: it's in the name, "conservative.")

Except we don't really advance. The Democrats get power, then they overreach and pay a hefty price... but the damage is done: Obamacare is law. The GOP comes in and doesn't roll any of this stuff back. Except maybe you'll get a tax cut. Whatever the Democrats enacted just becomes part of the landscape. Everybody kinda gets used to it and accepts that it's not going to change. Then the GOP fucks up, or a normal shift in the political winds come, and the Democrats get power again. Then the cycle repeats: they use their power, and get punished for it, but the laws they enacted remain.

They won't choose that front. In their controlled messaging outlets (which is most of them), they won't touch the economy. They're making it about "fake CRT" and how unjust it is to make schools a front in the "culture war" (as if it came out of nowhere when some Republican spin doctors whispered some hocus-pocus to captivate the rubes) because those are amorphous fronts where they can spin extremely effectively, pound on minutiae, prevaricate, subvert, lie and distort. They can't do that on the economy and so they are ignoring it to the largest degree possible and instead focusing on playing to their strengths.

Wtf is going on with our side?
Trump broke a lot of people in 2016 and that arguably played a huge role in what happened last night. Among the GOP establishment a lot of masks were torn off as former "Conservatives" switched sides, and I think that has created a lot of openings on the right for new blood. Would Youngkin have been the nominee if we'd had four years of President Hillary?
Second, the activist left and their karen enablers embraced performative anger as a form of therapy, which has taken over the left. They're in an echo chamber that deafened them to the concerns of a lot of voters.

I really haven't seen a coherent "take" from Trump on how the fraud went down or what to do about it, except complain. I saw his retweeting people like Sidney Powell and Lin Wood, and then disavow them. Which makes me think he didn't really know what was happening.

We know that the print outlet reporters and op-ed writers regularly run articles by the DNC for review before printing as well as ask them for suggestions (Chris Cilizza asking Hillary campaign for help with his '10 Reasons not to Vote Trmp' column). They are partners in creating political media content
Knowing this DNC micro-management exists and has been in place for years, knowing that Fox was extorted into giving in to DNC demands in 2020 or lose half of DC as potential guests, it's safe to assume that the DNC is now involved in their programming decisions. They have not acted in a way that would disprove that speculation since 2020 election night.

It is, but I think they might try it. They can't win on their own merits and they need a demon. They can't demonize the opponent on the economy, because there is no way to do it. They can lie outright (and they will), but no one will buy it even for a minute. So they need to pick other battles and demonize on those fronts so they can advance. They will choose any front where they can make demons against whom they can run, and try to ignore the rest while they tell some lies to claim they covered it.

There are couple of easy, essentially cost-free things that the Democrats could do at this point to improve their hopes for 2022. The first one is to get over their 1/6 obsession. Swing voters are not seeing 1/6 as some kind of massive white supremacist terrorist plot and existential threat. More broadly, swing voters simply don't agree that ARE DEMOCRACY IS THREATENENED!!!111!, even after ten years of having that shouted to them nonstop. That kind of hysteria gets ratings on MSNBC and CNN but the people who matter aren't buying it.

Asra Nomani from the Mama Bear Movement was on many, many shows. She was a Democrat who was switching sides and voting for Youngkin.
Xi Van Fleet was another parent that was featured a lot. She was the impassioned Chinese women speaking at the Loudon county school board. She spoke out against CRT and totalitarianism.
She was so emotional after Youngkin won because she had never cared about politics till the Virginia election.

1000% this.
There is a groundswell of resentment against teachers. While police, fire and medical - and supermarket workers (!!) - worked through 2020, the teachers unions colluded with the CDC to exempt themselves from work. That, as well as your point above, presents a huge opportunity for the GOP, if they had a Lee Atwater transfusion to take advantage of this. Teachers as a group will never support Republicans, and this is the best opportunity in a generation to push on this particular Achilles Heel.

Today is the feast day of St. Hubert, patron saint of hunters and dog breeders.
Posted by: Hadrian the Seventh at November 03, 2021 11:48 AM (/U27+)
From Catholic Online:
Bishop of Maastricht, Netherlands, and disciple of St. Lambert. Hubert was a married courtier serving Pepin of Heristal, France. He reportedly had a vision of a crucifix between the horns of a stag while hunting. Widowed, he is believed to have entered Stavelot Monastery, Belgium, and was ordained by St. Lambert at Maastricht. He succeeded St. Lambert about 705 as bishop. Hubert erected a shrine for St. Lambert's relics at Liege, France. He was noted for his miracles and for converting hundreds. Hubert died at Tervueren, near Brussels, Belgium, on May 30. He is a patron saint of hunters.
From wiki:
He is the patron saint of hunters, mathematicians, opticians, and metalworkers.
That covers a lot of territory.

Trump broke a lot of people in 2016 and that arguably played a huge role in what happened last night. Among the GOP establishment a lot of masks were torn off as former "Conservatives" switched sides, and I think that has created a lot of openings on the right for new blood. Would Youngkin have been the nominee if we'd had four years of President Hillary?
Second, the activist left and their karen enablers embraced performative anger as a form of therapy, which has taken over the left. They're in an echo chamber that deafened them to the concerns of a lot of voters.

Donald Trump is the most transformational political figure in 30+ years. I'm a huge fan, of course, but his political instincts and his speaking ability - which isn't classical oratory but is effective in getting a message across, as well as his internet savvy and ability to connect with a crowd - is a combination that no living politician has. He's been demonized relentlessly, of course, but the fact that he actually *increased* his vote totals across most of the demographic board when he had not one day of positive press from the MSM in four years, points to a singular talent. Future historians will be able to properly document this.
DeSantis is definitely getting the job done in FL, but there are no other Trumps out there. The GOP really needs to fix this.
Posted by: Darrell Harris at November 03, 2021 12:04 PM (wra3C)
Exactly. PA GOP politicians were responsible for allowing mail-in ballots in 2020, knowing full well the policy would be rife with fraud. They clamped down on Wolf's emergency powers, but the mail-in ballots are still a thing.

Not the injections themselves necessarily, but the injections aren't doing sh*t, and with the push to booster up every other week we get more and more crazy and people test harder and harder to get that self fulfillment of being the cool kid with the new COVID.
And here we are. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy that doesn't really exist.
Stop testing healthy people and it goes away.

==========
Democrats cheat every election, but they are not omnipotent in their ability to cheat. There are hard limits to how far they can go.
One of those limits is how hard the GOP is willing to fight for their own side. The RNC was more willing to fight pseudo-outsider Youngkin (former CEO of The Carlyle Group) than for Trump, so they actually fought Democratic efforts to cheat which helped limit the damage.
If voting was completely meaningless, then no Republican would ever win a race in PA, VA, AZ, GA, or MI.

See, the NYT is dumb. Basic problem.
The Democrats lost Senate seats against expectations in 2020, and now have fewer seats than Republicans. It's only because they are letting socialist indie Bernie Sanders chair an important committee that they, including Kumlala's vote, run the Senate. That is far from "power".
In the House they actually lost seats, a very unusual situation given the Presidential vote, and a five vote margin is not strong at all. Not "power".
They stole the Presidential election. Not a mandate, certainly.

I've said for a long time that Trump would have been way better off AFTER the primary if Twitter had been taken away from him for good.
That's what his campaign did in the final weeks of his 2016 campaign. It worked.
Big Tech taking Trump off their platforms probably did conservatives a favor.
I thought for a long time Twitter kept him on his whole Presidency because they knew he was shooting himself in the foot on a regular basis.

Child tax credits are nice, but GOP will always be outbid by Dems w/ handouts. School Choice is obvious, but empirically not a great slogan for whatever reason. "Funding follows kid" something like that maybe works. Maybe some tough talk/policies related to forcing colleges to de-bloat and cut tuition/fees might be somewhere the GOP could go and Dems couldn't follow.

I don't really know. I like his twitter. He makes me (us) laugh. But others complain about it, so maybe it does bother people. Perhaps it leads to poor message discipline.

Within 10 years the left moved the needle from "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman" to tranny kids.
How did they do it? They took control of the cultural messaging and then just kept pushing. Once in a while they push too far too fast, so then they back off and start again. Their evil is never going to be satiated.

In the Democratic primary in Buffalo, a radical socialist beat the incumbent mayor.
The mayor ran a write-in campaign for the general election, and with 96% of precincts reporting, write-ins are beating the socialist 59-41%. Even if a lot of the write-ins are thrown out, it seems that the mayor has been reelected.

Does he learn, though? I'm willing to forgive a few missteps as he got up to speed in his first year, but the Deep State and the visible opposition kept rolling him right up until the end. He signed that monstrosity of a spending bill, promising never to do it again. And yet... he kept doing it. His personnel decisions never really got any better. And on his way out the door, the Pentagon flatly refused to execute his Afghanistan withdrawal order.
I'll believe that Trump might be capable of doing better in Round 2 if he announces that Kushner will not be allowed on the White House grounds. But if he hasn't learned that lesson, then he's not worth re-electing.

Well, it is 2021.
Let's start here: this past offseason the University of Texas hired a bunch of new football coaches, including Special Teams Coach Jeff Banks who had previously coached for Alabama. Banks has a lot going on, and apparently at one point in his life he left his wife for a stripper named Pole Assassin. (Pole Assassin.) I don't even know how this is real.
Pole Assassin is a performer, and during her performances she is accompanied by a small monkey. Yes, a monkey. Pole Assassin, during her performances, is accompanied by a monkey who gives her high fives and collects dollar bills during the show. This is not a joke. This is somehow real.
I'm hearing a repot from a credible source that Texas Longhorns Special Teams Coach Jeff Banks' monkey allegedly attacked and seriously hurt a young Trick-or-Treater last night on Halloween.
The monkey's jaws apparently had to be pried off the small child.

That is a good question, and I have a few theories.
1) They tried but the more careful oversight than Trump bothered with actually prevented a lot of possible fraud.
2) They tried but failed to prepare for the degree of support for Youngkin (Trump 2016)
3) They didn't mind losing one election because McAuliffe was such a miserable candidate and it makes the cheat easier to disguise if you don't always win
4) They cheated but the Republicans cheated more
5) The cost and effort for the big cheat is bigger than they were willing to commit to for one state (something others have argued here which I am giving more merit to now)

I don't really think that's a factor.
What I've seen from even Republicans is they don't like an "escape hatch" because they think the public schools will never be fixed. They don't want the brain drain and the public schools being left behind.
Also, many parents are more "secular" minded and don't want to be "forced" to go to a religious school as the alternative.

Bishop of Maastricht, Netherlands, and disciple of St. Lambert. Hubert was a married courter serving Pepin of Heristal, France. He reportedly had a vision of a crucifix between the horns of a stag while hunting. Widowed, he is believed to have entered Stavelot Monastery, Belgium, and was ordained by St. Lambert at Maastricht. He succeeded St. Lambert about 705 as bishop. Hubert erected a shrine for St. Lambert's relics at Liege, France. He was noted for his miracles and for converting hundreds. Hubert died at Tervueren, near Brussels, Belgium, on May 30. He is a patron saint of hunters.
Now his vision is immortalized on the Jagermeister label

Considering they are the people most victimized by the criminals next door, that proprtion is very believable. The other 19% is the Communists and the criminals (BIRM) and their families that support them.

Here's my disparate thoughts in one article. (Not too long, though!) The GOP is easy to rile up because they share a single motivation: To be racist jerks. But Democrats need to work harder to unite their diverse party. And they failed on every front.
Republicans are, to be fair, very easy to turn out. Just make up some fake bullshit to trigger their bigotry and loathing of liberals. They don't really care about anything else, so it's not rocket science.
It's never been that Trump has some kind of magic charisma that liberals don't see. He's just a racist jerk and the GOP base really loves having permission to be racist jerks. And Youngkin also supplied that. . . .

Republicans are, to be fair, very easy to turn out. Just make up some fake bullshit to trigger their bigotry and loathing of liberals. They don't really care about anything else, so it's not rocket science.

And yet the Democrats regularly win elections. In Virginia. Like the one that happened exactly one year ago.
If MOAR RACISM is such a winning strategy for Republicans, why didn't Trump win last year, considering that he was the most racist racist who ever racisted? Is it because there are complicated reasons that people vote the way they do, and they aren't simply organized for or against whatever your particular favorite issue is?

Perhaps most strikingly, the crushing setbacks for Democrats in heavily suburban Virginia and New Jersey hinted at a conservative-stoked backlash to the changing mores around race and identity championed by the party, as Republicans relentlessly sought to turn schools into the next front in the country's culture wars.
That's one of the most insidiously biased statements put to print. Trope after trope. An assumption that liberal and progressives taking over is the natural order, so any resistance is backlash and culture war.

She also wrote Tweets explaining how much she hated the cops, and why rioting and destruction was a moral imperative.

To these leftists, a win is a win...whether it's a win or a "win." It doesn't matter to them how they achieve their power. Once they have it, they'll use it. Facing the wrath of the voters doesn't seem to slow them down much, if at all. And the way the party is constituted in 2021, they can't help themselves. They no longer possess any ability for introspection, and they certainly aren't taking their foot off the pedal. They can't help themselves now. They're too invested in their worldview and what it takes to achieve it.

My bet is that they will *try* to do that under-the-radar thing of incremental change, and cloaking their true agenda. But it's way too late for that. They allowed their freak flag to fly too high and for too long.

Well, that is a normal phrase used whenever Republicans win bigly. Like in 1994, when Newty's Contract with America was a plank in the Congressional races.
A temper tantrum!
In Ohio, that Temper Tantrum elected the first woman as Speaker of the Ohio House (Joanne Davidson), and then they passed Term Limits, which keeps the career lay abouts from running forever.

China's uranium must be garbage, though. Just like how china's lithium batteries are half the capacity purported, their uranium is probably half as potent as they say.
Also, chinese people have no business handling nuclear energy.
Posted by: Soothsayer at November 03, 2021 12:35 PM (5wi76)
It's not the fault of the uranium or lithium. It's the Chinese obsession with fucking over their customers, even their defense industries (most of them owned by the PLA itself) will relentlessly cheat their own government.
It's one of the reasons that I really don't get bent out of shape over the latest ChiCom wunderwaffens. Even if it lived up to the announced performance specs, chances are that it'll only work a couple of times before it utterly disintegrates from blatant corner-cutting by the factory.

Uh huh. And who is going to stop them? The spineless grifter GOP establishment? A bunch of 1776-larping boomers?
Yeah, the Left is so stupid that they managed to seize control of every institution in society and demographically replace the population of the USA in a matter of a few decades while the right did nothing.
The right has zero instititional power; and even wose, they have absolutely no counter-cultural force. Control of cultural messaging is what has given the Left the power to turn your kids into trannies, and the right has no way to oppose it, or even plans to create a way; I don't think they're even aware it's a problem.
So who's fucking stupid here?

Wish that were true, but have seen no signs of it. Being off Twitter has helped him immensely, yet he still manages to put foot in mouth (his gratuitous swipe at the recently deceased Colin Powell was a case in point). Sure, his supporters find the tweets funny, but it alienates the suburban voters the GOP needs to win.
Worse, Trump doesn't seem to have learned anything. He's still obsessed with winning the respect of the MSM - otherwise, why give interviews to Woodward and other MSMers? He keeps complaining about voter fraud but his messaging is ad hoc and incoherent. Do you think he has a serious plan for neutralizing the Deep State? How does a president let the IC play him like it did for four years? And he will be 4 years older in 2024.
DeSantis is way more savvy about government. He doesn't have Trump's charisma, but he doesn't have his immense baggage either. And he's shown a similar backbone re: the MSM.

Institutions are by their nature totalitarian and leftist. They need to be replaced at regular intervals with newer ones, the way capitalism does with businesses that get lazy or fail.
You will never win by trying to replace the institution, you need to make sure that the government never forces one institution over another.

Their defense of CRT was all over the place, and was obvious bullshit. The most common line - repeated in the New York Times today - is that "we don't teach CRT in our schools, you're worried about nothing." Well, okay, but if you don't teach it, then why are you fighting so damned hard to prevent conservatives from telling you not to teach it? Just say "yeah, we agree that we shouldn't teach CRT," and put the issue to bed. Instead they fought for it, tooth and nail, which turned out to be optically terrible for them.
(Lesson for the GOP in this: find more issues where you can catch the Left flat-footed).
Posted by: Masturbatin' Pete at November 03, 2021 01:05 PM (55anq)
It is. But it sets up what seems to be a typical scenario recently of Youngkin trying but failing, making a few compromises, and then in the next election people shriek about what a RINO he is, and hand the whole thing back to the Democrats on a silver platter.
So as nice as this is, it will be better to keep it in perspective, and work to extend it next time, rather than getting disappointed when it does not produce total change in 100 days.

Historically, the Wine Mom demo has been resistant to radical change in any direction, left or right. But the Dems are showing that they are bringing that change to them now, in addition to messing everything else up.
And I'm pretty sure they aren't going to take the progressive demonization of any opposition well at all, they don't see the party as their boss.

No, controlling the institutions of society, like the media, entertainment and schools, for example--you know, the things that influence how the large numbers of people you need to support you think and feel--is how you win. The Left understands this, which is why they win.

Unfortunately, we're still saddled with our own Abortion Barbie for delegate. I live in fairly red Frederick with equally-red Clarke only minutes away, but we're also saddled with Loudoun, which also used to be reliably red when it was mostly rural. But the techie shitlibs infested it, and now my worry is that they'll start infesting the northwest like the human locusts they are once the Asshole Barrier (Blue Ridge Mountains) is no longer enough to deter them. We already have to deal with their mouthbreather politics, I don't want to have to live near them.

No, I live in the world that is. Institutions die, and especially quickly when they forget what made them useful in the first place. Hollywood has far less power than they ever did in the past now that they "won" and people turn to other choices rather than their drek.
Papers, Mainstream News, and Cable News is also fading out. Right Wingers made Talk Radio their turf for a generation and now the internet is filling with alternative voices. A guy in his garage gets as many views as CNN. These are where a large number of people are going. This is the real world.
