It's Over. America Remains Ours
There comes a time when one must realize and accept that one's argument lost. This is something that every adult experiences.
It needn't mean accepting that you were wrong. Or that you didn't "deserve" to win. No, just that you didn't. You lost. The game's over. It is time to move on. To be quiet. To go home.
I can't think that any objective viewer cannot help but see that we here in America have reached such a time. That the big "argument" that has been going on -- the one about the underlying worth of our nation and the value of the principles upon which it was built -- has been publicly won. And that in the nation's favor.
Yes, you can still think that we, the winners of that debate, were wrong, but the fight is in fact over. Now all that's left is either acceptance of that fact or denial and self-pity.
In a real sense, that argument was won a year ago last November. The other side in that election was simply the remnants of left-wing power trying to hold on to the same, with old, stale ideas and jaded, empty promises.
But the losing side on that clear November night a year past didn't, couldn't, wouldn't accept it. They were certain that they were somehow right -- that they had been all along -- and that all that was needed was a bit of time and some loud, coordinated, voices of "reason" -- and then the nation as a whole would see and follow and be thankful.
Uh uh. 'Twas not to be.
This past week or so has put the kibosh on all that. The Stormy Daniel debacle on CBS's “60 Minutes,” the news out of Korea (how funny -- yes, and revealing -- to see those two things set side-by-side as if they were equals), the restoration of the bull market on Wall Street, and now the “Roseanne” show revival and its 18-million-plus viewers.
You, Dear Coasties, lost.
You in editorial position at the NY Times and the WaPo, you lost.
You Hollywood types -- despite all your self-assurances (to say nothing of your self-congratulations) and despite your pretty faces and lovely gowns, you lost.
You in the newsrooms, with your deep, serious, sonorous, voices, you lost.
We the people listened. We were unimpressed.
Your machinations of power, your lies, your corruption and attempts at control. They all failed.
You may still believe in yourselves -- in your supposed cause (whatever that may be) -- but no one else does. In fact, we are no longer even really listening. Well, except for a chuckle.
Trump not only won on election night, but he was won again and again ever since.
You can deny it. But you cannot any longer even pretend to be winning.
It's over.
Go home.
Be quiet.

And over the next couple elections cycles it is likely the pendulum swings back the other way, as it historically has. Articles like this always make me laugh because it is basically just the author admitting that they are a dumb ass, and there are plenty of them every single election cycle of every political stripe.
The next presidential election will be interesting I think, a pretty large majority of Americans dislike Trump (and how can you not, the guy is a total asshole), but at the same time due to his laughable incompetence and the fact that fewer and fewer people actually take him seriously the country is still doing pretty well economically. Now, provided Trump's incompetence and lack of credibility holds up, the public may have to decide whether or not their dislike of him outweighs him not being able to fuck things up too much when it comes time to vote.
So who do you think should run against Trump? Kind of a Warren fan myself.
I'd say Warren, or possibly someone like Biden. Whoever it is though needs to avoid trying to appeal to the more extreme left elements of the Democratic party as much as possible.
Sure, run another radical left wing empty headed granny!
Dude, you support Trump, you are hardly in a position to call someone else empty headed or make fun of their age.
Hillary wasn't a radical lefty. She didn't get the support of the progressives because of her past support of conservative policies. It's only Fox News that tried to convince you that Hillary was some radical leftist when in reality she was a center-right corporate drone. Bernie was the lefty and many of his supporters stayed home or voted Green Party instead of supporting Hillary.
Actually, if one was to do the research, one would find Hillary to be a great person.
You were actually able to type that out and still manage to keep a straight face weren't you?
"Or that you didn't "deserve" to win. No, just that you didn't. You lost. The game's over. It is time to move on. To be quiet. To go home."
Try telling that to the bigots and confederate descendants who keep crying and whining about the South rising again or to the anti-choice crowd who just can't seem to take a hint, they lost, get over it.
The fact is, progressives and liberals always eventually win, even if it takes a hundred years. They may lose small battles along the way, but justice, equality and reason will always eventually win the day no matter how much conservative traditions thrash about during their death throes. Conservatives fought to preserve the tradition of slavery, they lost. Conservatives fought to preserve their tradition of segregation, they lost. Conservatives fought to maintain their tradition of not allowing women or blacks a vote, they lost. Conservatives fought to preserve their tradition of bans against interracial marriage, they lost. Conservatives fought to preserve their traditions of bans on abortion, they lost. Conservatives fought to preserve their traditions of bans on gay marriage, they lost.
And by the way, I watched the Roseanne reboot the other night and there were more digs at Trump than there were Roseanne comments supporting him. That show is definitely not a one sided Trump cheering section, Roseanne's character is literally the only one who claimed any support for him and was half hearted in the support at best. The 18 million plus viewers tuning in for the first time was definitely not any sort of measure of Trump support.
When will conservatives get it through their thick skulls that the American Stinker is full of dried crusty cow manure. It's not even fresh shit, it's just old white cakey crap.
"It's Over. America Remains Ours"
Not true at all. America belongs to ALL the people of America, NOT just the conservatives. All stop!
It is generally the ''losers'' that are crowing about what winners they are...The need to inflate their empty egos is an overwhelming need for them.
Just like no actual geniuses publicly proclaim "I think that would qualify as not smart, but genius....and a very stable genius at that!" or "my two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart".
"People who boast about their IQ are losers." - Stephen Hawking
Especially when the one claiming genius shows no indication of any smarts at all.
Yeah. Except this current crop of cons are not much unlike Hitler as his 6th Wehrmacht stood at the gates of Stalingrad celebrating their victory. Little did they realize that 'their victory' would the catalyst of their utter defeat.
After reading the article and looking over the comments, this article does not provide for any healthy discussion. Closing article. Heartland, you can seed a new one in it place but make sure that it provides for an actual discussion.
