00:00:00
the final tally it looks like is going to be 312 Electoral College votes for uh president Donald Trump versus comma
00:00:08
Harris is 226 just for context in 2016 Trump won with 304 electoral votes and Biden won
00:00:16
in 2020 with 306 so it's a pretty sweeping Victory he won all the supposed swing States this
00:00:23
year fairly resoundingly there's there's no real super close calls there's some close calls but but pretty resounding
00:00:29
victory chth what happened wow it's a it's a really good question I think that there's many layers of the
00:00:40
answer but I think in its most basic calculation I think that the bottom fell out of the democratic party and if
00:00:49
you look at why there's a simple explanation and then there's the more nuanced explanation I think the
00:00:58
simple explanation is like they just lost the script I think that there was so many
00:01:04
people that just got really tired of being spoken at and labeled misogynist racist fascist
00:01:18
transphobe whatever it was and there was just these Litany of these judgmental labels that would come out instead of
00:01:25
engaging on the topics at hand so I think the Democratic Party plate this game of trying to use
00:01:33
identities genders races as a bid to basically get people that they thought should always vote in
00:01:42
their direction to continue to support them and instead what happened was people just started to think for
00:01:47
themselves and say hold on a second I'm just a normal person that wants to be left alone what matters to me and I
00:01:52
think what Donald Trump spoke to was a desire for folks to have economic prosperity a safe
00:02:01
neighborhood a predictable educational curriculum where these kids could go to school not be indoctrinated and come out
00:02:07
the other side and just know some useful skills so that they could get a good job
00:02:11
and do better than they did and all these basic truths ended up on the ballot and so it was a bunch of
00:02:17
perception versus just a bunch of hard realities and I think Trump stayed focused and
00:02:24
ultimately made sure that people understood that that's what he was focused on and I think the Democrats
00:02:30
just went to this place of demagoguery and labels and I think it was just a resounding defeat and David I just want
00:02:38
you to like just to put a pin in on how resounding it is in California and New York which I
00:02:46
would say are the two most prolific bastions of elitist liberal thinking Democrats won those States in
00:02:56
some of the narrowest margins they've ever seen I think in 2020 they won California by 29 Points it was barely
00:03:05
half is what they won by this year in New York it shrunk to a 12-point margin so what is this telling you it's telling
00:03:12
you that the Democrats really need to retool and get back to First principles it was a cataclysmic
00:03:20
dismissal of wokeism of cancel culture of judgmentalism it was an ringing endorsement of a meritocracy
00:03:30
of just plain simple common sense of talking with people and to people being able to tolerate
00:03:39
disagreements remaining friends all of those things were on the ballot and it it was just an absolute
00:03:46
resounding victory for just normaly that's what I think we saw we saw a return to normaly is this the
00:03:53
nature of democracy that over time when you have a two-party system and one party veers too far to the left or one
00:04:02
party veers too far to the right people jump ship to the other party and ultimately they pull the policies of the
00:04:09
party that they left back to the middle and that's the way democracy is supposed
00:04:13
to work and has worked historically so is this the way it's supposed to go and do we project that four years from now
00:04:20
the Democrats will need to be and need to adjust to the center and we'll see less of this extremism because of the
00:04:26
way the voting turned out this this election cycle I think that's a very interesting question is whether the
00:04:31
Democrats have the necessary introspection to learn from this loss I would say that one of them does if you
00:04:38
look at Mat glacius who's someone I've sparred with on on Twitter X who is a Democrat partisan he basically tweeted a
00:04:46
list of principles that he thought the democra party needed to adopt I read it and retweeted I said laughing my ass off
00:04:51
this is a list of Republican principles it was all about you know opposing woke and being in favor of Merit and
00:04:57
Innovation tolerance I'm like look you know what if the Democratic party wants to adopt these principles that's a
00:05:03
wonderful thing for the country I hope that they do it okay but will they do it I have my doubts you look at this tweet
00:05:11
by Ari fer where he talks about who the Democratic party now is yeah I think that this is a really important tweet
00:05:18
because it sort of tells you Sak who's going to be left in the room exact if these are the only people left in the
00:05:24
room the last thing they're going to do is admit defeat right exactly so what you see is that the Dem Democratic party
00:05:30
base is these very affluent very overeducated very non-religious types and frankly I wonder whether they're too
00:05:39
out of touch to know they're out of touch they're certainly very whiny and entitled and I just don't think they're
00:05:45
going to seed control of the party without a fight and frankly they've disappeared so
00:05:51
far up their own woke asses that I don't think they can find an electoral majority if they try so if these people
00:05:58
stay in control of the party and these are the people who you're seeing having a mental breakdown on Tik Tok they're
00:06:04
posting all the videos they're insulting the electorate and let's face it it's not just on Tik Tok it's on the Legacy
00:06:10
Media it's on msdnc it's basically the the Legacy Media who are trying to diagnose a psychosis in the American
00:06:18
electorate to explain why they were so wrong if those people stay in control I think that the Republicans could have an
00:06:25
electoral majority as far as the eye can see
