Yawn: How The Left Is Justifying UK Election Loss Is As Dumb As You Can Imagine
(Tea Party 247) – As the UK combs through the crushing defeat of the progressive left, it’s hard, as an Amerian, not to feel a sense of Deja vu.
It’s like 2016 all over again, and most likely just like 2020 will be.
Naturally, sad supporters of the Labour Party are comforting themselves with the old fallback: they’re blaming racism and bigotry for their party’s loss, because of course they are.
Next?
Summit News reports:
Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party won a resounding victory last night, defeating Labour who ran on a hard left manifesto under their leader Jeremy Corbyn.
But instead of using the defeat to take a moment of reflection and re-assess their messaging, many leftists angrily lashed out and insulted the very people who they should be trying to reach.
Journalist Paul Mason claimed the result represented “a victory of racists over people of colour,” while James Felton slammed “older voters,” who he claimed only voted for Boris Johnson because he “isn’t afraid to say those racist things you enjoy.”
Andrew Doyle had a nice summary of the predictable response:

If you smear the working class & elderly as racist & stupid, you’re a bigot.
If you see fascism everywhere in one of the most tolerant countries, you’re a fantasist.
If you have contempt for democracy, you’re an elitist.
Above all, you’re the reason the left continues to lose.

Leftist David Baddiel was refreshingly honest with his ideological peers, noting that constantly bashing the people you’d prefer vote for your party is not a winning strategy:
“This is unbelievably patronising,” he tweeted. “The No. 1 thing the Crank Left need to understand is that them losing does not mean the people, the very people they claim to champion, are stupid, or brainwashed, or perverse. *They* need to change, not the people.”

It seems that most voters want to lick the boots of their oppressors.
This is what happens time and time again.
The Marxists on the left, in the US, UK, and elsewhere, don’t get at all that they have fully embraced full fascism.
While people on the right rely on arguments, facts, and data to defend their cause, the left just threatens those who won’t comply with their real with slander and violence.
Of course, Antifa was in full force Thursday night as the votes came in, as you could have imagined.
Here in the US, the left is preparing for our own 2020 elections by trying to impeach the president, a move that is failing so badly for them that Americans didn’t even tune in to watch, no matter how many show trials they had or how carefully they made sure to have their final vote in the House Judiciary on daytime television, so the nation could see.
The president is polling as well as Obama did during the same time in his presidency…when he wasn’t being impeached!
The left is failing, across the globe.

This speaks directly to what the left is doing here. Starting with the "basket of deplorables" and continuing on today to their desperate attempt to overturn an election because they hate Trump and have great disdain for the 63+ million voters who voted for him. And they are not shy about letting us know how they feel about us. I doubt they have any intention of changing any time soon. Unfortunately for them, neither do we. It will cost them dearly next November.
