The Times ran a column by Samuel Moyn, a professor of law and history at Yale. He pointed out how delusional Democrats are. He wrote, "In their minds, Mr. Trump’s treasonous malfeasance — his collusion with nefarious Russian intelligence operatives and obstruction of Mr. Mueller’s investigation — is long since proven. But for some reason, it is not unanimously denounced, either by the mainstream of both parties or by the American people. Why, these liberals wonder, has everyone else not yet risen up in horror? Surely they will soon. Mr. Mueller’s reticence, it was argued in Salon, was actually an eloquent case for impeachment. Why did no one hear it? As one writer for Slate magazine put it, the task now for those with lonely but certain knowledge of Mr. Trump’s criminality is to try once again to get the word out." Moyn nailed it. In fact, he sounded like me. He wrote, "Instead of focusing on why he won and ensuring an alternative outcome next time, many Trump critics spent years comforting themselves with assurances that the slowly turning wheels of justice would arrive at the White House." The historian is hardly a Trump supporter. He just sees the idiocy of the path Democrats chose. Moyn wrote, "Does the resistance really believe it can win the next election by depriving American voters who are angry at elites of the protest candidate they elected? Nancy Pelosi has gotten grief for understanding this all along. (Whether or not she has a winning electoral strategy is another question.) "Our gratitude toward Mr. Mueller ought to be that his poor showing as a witness will eventually force the president’s enemies to realize the uplifting truth that they have to beat him on their own. In 2016, our fellow citizens used their one form of power — majority rule, however outrageously designed by the Constitution — to protest. The democratic way to engage with them is to seek justice for their plight, and not merely to bring down an exasperating president." Democrats have not gotten over the 2016 election. It may be a long time. It took them more than a century to get over the 1860 election. Republicans won five presidential elections in a row as they dominated the White House from 1860 to 1932, holding it for 53 of those 72 years. Southern Democrats who had dominated the presidency in the first 71 years of the republic were shut out for roughly a century, and Lyndon Johnson became president only after the murder of Kennedy. Those Southern Democrats romanticized the Civil War as the Lost Cause, while the rest of the nation celebrated the end of slavery. Today's confederacy of Democrats romanticizes about resisting some fictional hitler (the word lost its meaning and capitalization), while the rest of the nation celebrates the best economy in a half century. Yesterday is a trap. donsurber.blogspot.com
