the final tally it looks like is going

to be 312 Electoral College votes for uh

president Donald Trump versus comma

Harris is

226 just for context in 2016 Trump won

with 304 electoral votes and Biden won

in 2020 with

306 so it's a pretty sweeping Victory he

won all the supposed swing States this

year fairly resoundingly there's there's

no real super close calls there's some

close calls but but pretty resounding

victory

chth what happened wow it's a it's a

really good question I think that

there's many layers of the

answer but I think in its most basic

calculation I think that the bottom fell

out of the democratic party and if

you look at

why there's

a simple explanation and then there's

the more nuanced explanation I think the

simple explanation is like they just

lost the

script I think that there was so many

people that just got really tired of

being spoken

at and

labeled misogynist racist fascist

transphobe whatever it was and there was

just these Litany of these judgmental

labels that would come out instead of

engaging on the topics at hand so I

think the Democratic Party plate this

game of trying to use

identities genders

races as a bid to basically get people

that they thought should always vote in

their direction to continue to support

them and instead what happened was

people just started to think for

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

think what Donald Trump spoke to was a

desire for folks to have economic

prosperity a safe

neighborhood a predictable educational

curriculum where these kids could go to

school not be indoctrinated and come out

the other side and just know some useful

skills so that they could get a good job

and do better than they did and all

these basic truths ended up on the

ballot and so it was a bunch of

perception versus just a bunch of hard

realities and I think Trump stayed

focused and

ultimately made sure that people

understood that that's what he was

focused on and I think the Democrats

just went to this place of demagoguery

and labels and I think it was just a

resounding defeat and David I just want

you to like just to put a pin in on how

resounding it

is in California and New York which I

would say are the two most prolific

bastions of elitist liberal

thinking Democrats won those States in

some of the narrowest margins they've

ever seen I think in 2020 they won

California by 29 Points it was barely

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

you that the Democrats really need to

retool and get back to First principles

it was a cataclysmic

dismissal of wokeism of cancel culture

of

judgmentalism it was an ringing

endorsement of a meritocracy

of just plain simple common

sense of talking with people and to

people being able to tolerate

disagreements remaining

friends all of those things were on the

ballot and it it was just an absolute

resounding victory for just

normaly that's what I think we saw we

saw a return to normaly is this the

nature of democracy that over time when

you have a two-party system and one

party veers too far to the left or one

party veers too far to the right people

jump ship to the other party and

ultimately they pull the policies of the

party that they left back to the middle

and that's the way democracy is supposed

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

the Democrats will need to be and need

to adjust to the center and we'll see

less of this extremism because of the

way the voting turned out this this

election cycle I think that's a very

interesting question is whether the

Democrats have the necessary

introspection to learn from this loss I

would say that one of them does if you

look at Mat glacius who's someone I've

sparred with on on Twitter X who is a

Democrat partisan he basically tweeted a

list of principles that he thought the

democra party needed to adopt I read it

and retweeted I said laughing my ass off

this is a list of Republican principles

it was all about you know opposing woke

and being in favor of Merit and

Innovation tolerance I'm like look you

know what if the Democratic party wants

to adopt these principles that's a

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

by Ari fer where he talks about who the

Democratic party now is yeah I think

that this is a really important tweet

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

room the last thing they're going to do

is admit defeat right exactly so what

you see is that the Dem Democratic party

base is these very affluent very

overeducated very non-religious types

and frankly I wonder whether they're too

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

going to

seed control of the party without a

fight and frankly they've disappeared so

far up their own woke asses that I don't

think they can find an electoral

majority if they try so if these people

stay in control of the party and these

are the people who you're seeing having

a mental breakdown on Tik Tok they're

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

Media it's on msdnc it's basically the

the Legacy Media who are trying to

diagnose a psychosis in the American

electorate to explain why they were so

wrong if those people stay in control I

think that the Republicans could have an

electoral majority as far as the eye can

see
