B-Man Posted January 5 Posted January 5 The end of the ‘Obama era’ has officially arrived — with a deep sense of betrayal among Dem voters by Julian Epstein You can smell it in the air. A deep sense of betrayal among Democratic voters. An underlying realization that the Democratic party’s politburo — Obama, Pelosi, Schumer, Jeffries, and their courtiers of elected official and consultant sycophants — sold voters a bill of goods: the gaslighting of the public on President Biden’s decrepitude; the false idol of the Kamala Harris “campaign of joy” as a smart last-minute stand-in; and the repeated cowering to the far left whose wokeness and moral condescension turns off most voters. In a just world, one might expect a formal no-confidence vote on this leadership failure. After all, this is the kind of recall we see with Western European heads of state, in House speakership races, and soon, in Canada. That recall may not happen, but the undeniable trouncing may signal the end of what we can call the Obama Era. Simply put, the Obama Era is characterized by a set of ideas and tactics directly linked to the Democrats’ loss. The first is the “Demography is Destiny” delusion — a kind of manifest destiny of the left, adopted in the second Obama term, that promises an ever-diversifying electorate would inexorably vote Democratic and must therefore be patronized with cartoonish appeals to identity and big government wardship. This proved to be not only deeply un-American but politically foolish. Upon taking office, Biden mandated race preferences and DEI rules across 90 different federal agencies — what leading race theorist Coleman Hughes refers to as the neo-racism of the left. Open borders were supposed to buy Hispanic votes. Green New Deal wars on oil and gas industries that most of the big players on the global stage would reject were supposed to buy young voters. Validating the rhetoric of pro-Hamas activists was supposed to buy votes in Dearborn and the anti-Israel and often antisemitic left. Democrats ignored all the polls warning against these identity politics which never had broad voter support — including among black and brown Americans. But it was too late to turn back. This post-modern religion had spawned the second pillar of the Obama Era: a new industry of NGOs, consultants, activist groups, foundations and donors, public unions, and the increasingly politicized state and city bureaucracies in Democratic-run cities underwritten with gobs of COVID-relief and federal taxpayer dollars. They were what writer Michael Lind refers to as the Shadow Government — for whom the liturgy of identity politics became the central organizing principle to expand organizational bloat, fundraise, and earn social credit scores within the party. The third pillar of the Obama Era is the massive cancel culture and accompanying online authoritarianism. https://nypost.com/2025/01/04/opinion/the-end-of-the-obama-era-has-officially-arrived/ 1

B-Man Posted January 6 Posted January 6 Exit Interviews By Democrats Show They're As Delusional As Ever Duane Patterson 2025 is already shaping up to be a pretty good political year. In 14 days, Democrats will not be in control of any branch of government. They will only control regime media, which is decreasing in viewership and influence by the day. Up north, if the scuttlebutt is true, Canada's long national nightmare might end today with the resignation of Justin "Baby Castro" Trudeau. And Labour's reign in the United Kingdom may be measured in Scaramucci's rather than years, because Keir Starmer has lost 49 points in approval, and that was before it turns out that as prosecutor in Pakistani sex and groomer gang cases, his conduct is being covered up. The Labour government is blocking an inquiry into his performance. Joe Biden continues to demonstrate the slide into mental decline is a steep grade. If his decline were a highway, it would need a special truck lane. On the Sunday shows, It was a mixture of a farewell tour of Democratic governance combined with newfound concern about deficit spending now that Republicans are going to be running things. But on Meet the Press with Kristen Welker, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer was asked about his previous assurance of the President's mental acuity, and naturally weaseled his way around it. https://hotair.com/generalissimo/2025/01/06/exit-interviews-by-democrats-as-delusional-as-ever-n3798520 1

B-Man Posted January 10 Posted January 10 Now, you'd like to think that would cause the Democrats to do a little re-evaluation to consider how they might change their actions that are being rejected. You'd like to think that. But it's the Democrats, so they never truly re-evaluate their radical policies that harm people. They only re-evaluate how they are trying to message/manipulate you. It tells you something that instead of changing policies, here's their solution for trying to reach you — a video telling you how they're "different" and will "fight" for you. They are so desperate, and it's great. Push play: They're "different"? Really? Many of them have been there for years — for some, it seems like forever. They're mostly the same sad characters who have been part of the swamp forever. I look at them, and largely, I think "weird." They certainly are "different," though — but not in a good way. That's why they weren't getting before the election what it was that people cared about. They thought they could win by just demonizing President Donald Trump. They didn't care about the things that the American people cared about, like the border and inflation. They were in their bubble, and it isn't really about the people, but about holding onto their own control. "We are not here because of who we are against," they say. They then claim they are there to work for "working Americans," "for you." Wait, aren't you the same guys who spent how many years being totally centered around your hatred of Trump? That's been your definition for a long time, and you guys wrapped yourselves in that cloak. That was the whole focus of the Kamala Harris campaign — the "threat to democracy." But Americans wisely didn't believe that. Then, after saying we're not here because of who we are against, they just can't help themselves and attack Trump and Republicans anyway, saying they would "fight" if Trump and Senate Republicans did things that drive up costs. But it was the Democrats who helped drive up costs by voting for more spending under Biden, which helped to drive up inflation. They whip up fear again about Social Security and Medicare despite the GOP not taking any action against them. https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2025/01/10/bring-on-the-mockery-for-this-desperate-video-from-senate-dems-n2184180
