Government Corruption
McAuliffe Blames Loss On Low 3AM Ballot Turnout
[Babylon Bee] Terry McAuliffe’s loss in the Virginia gubernatorial race has sent shock waves through the Democrat establishment. Some are blaming the rise of racism, domestic terrorist parents of public-school students, and lack of understanding of true Marxism for the loss. After careful study of the results, however, the campaign determined the true cause was a shockingly low turnout among 3 a.m. ballots.

"Yeah, our ground game was clearly to blame," said McAuliffe to tearful reporters. "After studying the numbers, there is just no way to sugarcoat our failure to turn out the 3 a.m. ballots. Bottom line is, we simply came up short. The votes in the key 3 a.m. demographic just weren’t there."

The DNC is looking closely at what went wrong in Virginia to make sure they don’t repeat the mistakes in the crucial 2022 election. So far, the clear takeaway is simply to make sure they have enough ballots in reserve to make up for a rise in racism, pornophobia, LGBTQaphobia, Islamophobia, and Marxismaphobia among the voters.

"We thought we had it in the bag with all the early vote ballots, all the absentee ballots, all the dead voter ballots, and frankly we got a little lazy and let the country down," said McAuliffe campaign head Biff Tannen. "Let this be a lesson to all Democrat candidates facing an election in this hostile environment full of terrorist parents who don’t want their girls raped in school bathrooms by guys wearing skirts. Do not rely on actual people voting for Democrats! The 3 a.m. ballot demographic is key to Democrat victory from now on."

Democrat strategists also determined to push the wildly popular CRT a little more next time.

They are right, New Jersey managed to do it, Virginia Dems have until next Tuesday to sneak their "found ballots". Better get busy, time's a wasting.

Carlson: ‘The Party that Is Calling for Firing Truck Drivers Is Suddenly Losing Elections to Truck Drivers'
[Breitbart] FNC host Tucker Carlson opened his Wednesday broadcast by arguing Tuesday's election results were a pushback against the policies and politics of the Democratic Party.

Carlson pointed to the Democratic Party's answers to COVID and tack on race issues as what was rejected by voters.

Transcript as follows:

CARLSON: seems like the perfect moment to rethink what we thought we knew about American politics, the way the country runs, and the laundry list of lies that we have been force-fed for the past year. Now is the moment, because clearly we're at an inflection point.

Last night, if you were to sum it up in a single phrase, we've had enough. There is a limit to which you can push the American population before they gently and politely push back through democratic means, and that's exactly what we just saw. It is now impossible to deny that this country is in the middle of some kind of political realignment and the people who run our country did not see it coming.

There are a lot of examples here, the obvious ones and the not so obvious. So, I'll start with the latter.

In Texas last night, Republicans just flipped an overwhelmingly Hispanic district, one that went for Joe Biden by 14 points a year ago, 14 points, because of course, Hispanic districts go Democrat, because Hispanics are Democrats, right?

Continues.

Kurt Schlichter: After Being Humiliated In VA, Democrats Tell the Voters to Kiss-Off
[Townhall] Back like 25 years ago, when President * was only 132 years old, The Simpsons was funny, and there was a great scene where Principal Skinner, confronted with the possibility that he screwed up, reassures himself that no, it's the children who are wrong. In that analogy, the Democrats are Seymour Skinner (or Armin Tamzarian, if you are really into Simpsons deep cuts) and the voters are the kids.

Glenn Youngkin greatly disappointed Terry McAuliffe and his North American Man-Boy Lincoln Project (I wish I originated that) pals by winning Virginia, the latter also because Glenn did not live up to his last name. We kid the tiki torch twerps, but that's only because one of their founders tried to score with young boys.

In any case, smart people would take a step back after the massive repudiation that was last Tuesday in blue bastions like Old Dominion, New Jersey, and various other venues nationwide that have not gotten as much play. But we are dealing with Democrats. It appears that their analysis is that the American people hate what they are doing so they should do more of it harder, and then the American people will love them. We must encourage this innovative strategy.

As Napoleon supposedly said, never interrupt and enemy when he is making a mistake.
