It’s customary for a political occasion to conduct a kind of “post-mortem” after shedding a serious election to evaluate the place they went unsuitable and the way they’ll do higher in future races. Republicans did it after the 2012 presidential election during which Sen. Mitt Romney did not unseat then-President Barack Obama. However Democrats, who’re poised to lose huge within the upcoming midterm elections, don’t seem able to undergo such a course of.
As an alternative, the left is already making excuses for his or her impending losses. The rhetoric coming from Democrats and their comrades within the activist media reveals a fairly curious actuality: They don’t seem to be studying their lesson.
On What Will Democrats Blame Their Midterms Losses?
When Democrats lose management of the legislative department – because it seems they are going to – voter suppression will undoubtedly be one of many boogeymen the left will use. The truth is, it appears any time they lose an election, they use this as one in all a number of explanations for the loss.
At first look, it may not appear as if this could be a viable technique contemplating near-record turnout on the polls in states like Georgia. Certainly, if that development continues in different crimson states that handed election integrity legal guidelines after the 2020 presidential election, it will likely be onerous to make the case that Jim Crow 2.0 suppressed black votes and price Democrats their seats.
Nonetheless, Democrats are already attempting to prime their supporters for the narrative. After stories of excessive turnout on the polls in Georgia, gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams addressed supporters, claiming, “it doesn’t imply that voter suppression doesn’t exist.”
“We all know that voter suppression is alive and properly in Georgia, however we’re stronger, we’re quicker, and we’re higher than it,” she added.
However the true villain on this story can be none apart from white suburban ladies, who supported President Joe Biden within the 2020 election however at the moment are leaning in direction of the GOP. The Wall Road Journal carried out a ballot exhibiting that this demographic “favor[s] Republicans in congressional races by 15 proportion factors.”
That is fairly a shift, provided that when WSJ carried out the identical ballot in August, Democrats led by 12 factors amongst this group. It seems that lower than every week earlier than the midterms, the tide has shifted significantly.
If this development holds, Democrats and members of the press will flip their wrath on these identical white suburban ladies. On a current airing of “The View,” co-host Sunny Hostin launched the primary salvo. “White Republican suburban ladies at the moment are going to vote Republican — It’s nearly like roaches voting for Raid,” she stated.

Progressives are going to smear these “roaches” as being complicit within the losses Democrats will maintain. The same old racist/sexist/homophobic tropes will abound as these crusaders for social justice try and blame their scenario on bigotry.
Will They Ever Be taught?
Regardless of the reasons coming from the left, the Democrats’ inevitable downfall can be of their very own making. Because it seems, ignoring the migrant disaster, passing laws that led to crushing inflation, and demonizing police amid surging crime charges wasn’t precisely the wisest transfer. Supporting the hassle to push transgenderism amongst youngsters didn’t assist issues both.
However for now, it appears Democrats are intent on not studying from their errors. They higher hope they’ll get it collectively in time for 2024.
