As Trump Becomes the 47th President, The Democrat Blame Game Begins

With that being said, last week’s election showed the resiliency of the United States and the American people. Despite the lawfare and the relentless rhetoric about the end of democracy and the second coming of Hitler, Americans rejected what the Democrats were offering. They voted to put Trump back in the White House, for Republicans to control the Senate, and in all likelihood, the House as well.

And as Trump is set to become the 47^th President, the Democrats’ meltdown continues. We are witnessing the left-wing meltdown across the political and media ecosystem.

They’re still reeling, and they are blaming everything and everyone including each other. The Harris team is blaming the Biden team. The Biden team is blaming the Harris team and the Obama team. The Obama team is blaming both them as well.

The fact that the Harris campaign raised over a billion dollars, and after 107 days of campaigning is 20 million dollars in debt, is stunning. What a waste of money and thank the Lord they didn’t win the White House. Just imagine how the Harris administration would have burned through our hard-earned tax dollars.

And Democrats are completely missing why they lost the election. So many of them are so out of touch. They are blaming Biden for not getting out of the race sooner, including Nancy Pelosi who said that Biden waited too long and prevented them from having an open primary. Not for nothing, but the entire Democrat party and the media conspired to cover up Biden’s cognitive decline for years. Had they been honest with the American public, the President would have never sought reelection in the first place.

But it also shows how vicious politics is, and how you have to pay closer attention to those closest to you. Pelosi and Obama are political jackals, and it shows how they have no loyalty to anyone. They are willing to throw anyone under the bus if they believe it gives them a political advantage.

Just look at how President Biden has 50 years of public service and service to the Democrat party. Always being a loyal soldier, but the second he became a liability to the Democrat’s hold on power, they threw him overboard. His legacy was destroyed because of the Democrats’ ambition. These aren’t principled people. They’re power-hungry narcissists.

And if they don’t respect those who they call their friends, what do you think they think about you? But we don’t have to go far to see what they think about millions of ordinary Americans because all you have to do is listen to them.

They aren’t just blaming each other. They are also blaming millions of ordinary Americans. Just take a listen to this.

Sound Clip 1- America depends on a rational electorate

I will get to the xenophobia part in a minute, but did you hear the beginning of what he said?

Sound Clip 1- Depend upon a Rational Pragmatic Electorate

So when he says that America relies on a rational, pragmatic electorate, what he really means is that the millions of Americans that voted for Trump are morons. It’s not their fault they lost, it’s your fault.

It’s your fault because you are so easily duped by misinformation, despite the fact that they have been the ones pushing misinformation for years. It’s your fault because you are misogynistic, racist, and xenophobic. In fact, according to this loon, we have never seen racism, misogyny, and xenophobia at this scale. Is this idiot kidding me?

Today’s America is the most open and tolerant America has ever been. I’m tired of the nonsense and lies. I am tired of the constant demonization of Americans. The fact is America and the American people are not racist, misogynistic, or xenophobic. Are there a few idiots in our society that spout hate? Sure, but they are a fringe minority.

The overwhelming majority of Americans could care less about you race, ethnicity, or gender. They don’t view everything through the prism of race.

And I want to talk about that when we get back from this quick break. So everyone, hang tight and we will be right back.

Democrat and Media Meltdown as Trump Elected as the 47th President

Welcome back, everyone. There comes a point when you would think that the Democrats and the left would wake-up. You would think that after a crushing victory like this, they would have an epiphany.

I mean not only did Trump increase his total vote share when he ran for reelection in 2020 gaining 11 million more votes than in 2016, he also increased his vote share this time. In 2020, he got over 74 million votes. In 2024, he got over 75 million votes and counting.

Republicans took the Senate and are poised to retain the House, but according to many on the left and throughout the media, the Democrats aren’t the problem. You’re the problem. Here’s a clip from the loons on The View. Take a listen.

Sound Clip 2- The View

I swear, the ladies from The View are like the gift that keeps on giving. So, you have a district that’s 97% Hispanic and 75% vote for Trump, but it’s not because of the Biden-Harris open borders policy. It’s because Hispanics are misogynists, and that includes Latino women because you cannot get 75% of the vote without a large segment of women voting for you.

Yet, somehow, someway, they make it as if the abortion issue is the sole issue women vote on. They believe that women spend every waking moment thinking about abortions for themselves and their daughters. It really is demented logic they are using. The number of posts about how America is an oppressive society for women and that we are returning to a time where women are silenced is sheer lunacy.

The fact is that women in Afghanistan are oppressed. Women in Iran are oppressed. Women in countless other countries are oppressed. I’m sorry, but women are not oppressed in America.

But it’s not just the loons on The View. You turn on leftwing media, and this is what the hosts and the pundits are saying. Just listen to Joe Scarborough and Al Sharpton discuss this. Take a listen.

Sound Clip 3- Scarborough and Sharpton

Now, I will remind the audience that this is the same Joe Scarborough who proclaimed earlier this year that President Biden was sharp as a tack, and this is the “Best Biden ever!” Obviously, he is an imbecile.

But here you have two prominent figures in Democrat circles proclaiming that Blacks and Hispanics are misogynists. Not only do Blacks and Hispanics hate women, but they also are racist. That’s how little they think of Blacks and Hispanics. The second you don’t do what they say, they brand you and even the color of your skin no longer matters.

They created the circular firing squad. You have Rachel Maddow going on air to explain how Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, and Jews voted to end our multi-racial society. When I say these people are insane, understand, they have lost their minds.

Not for nothing, but obviously Americans don’t mind voting for a Black President because they did it twice, and I could care less about voting for a woman president, but she has to be competent and Kamala Harris certainly is not.

And you know these frauds wouldn’t be saying that Americans are misogynistic if a conservative woman lost the presidential race because to them, the self-anointed ‘guardians of democracy,’ you must demonstrate unwavering allegiance to their radical ideology.

It’s amazing how they constantly scream threats to democracy, but when people actually engage in the democratic process and go vote, they don’t like democracy because the people voted for Trump. Funny how that works.

Some are openly saying that Elon Musk and X is singlehandedly responsible for getting Trump and Republicans elected and that if the government shut down or heavily regulated social media, then Harris would have won.

Think about that for a second. They are openly saying that the government should be the one to control all speech. That the government should dictate what can and cannot be said. It’s exactly like Orwell’s 1984 dystopia. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

It’s party allegiance above all else, including family and friends. Now some of you may be wondering what I’m talking about. Well, take a listen to this clip. This is Yale psychiatrist Amanda Calhoun on Joy Reid’s show. Take a listen.

Sound Clip 4- Yale Psychiatrist

Wow, and she’s a psychiatrist. Joy Reid has always been a racist and a homophobe, but I want people to think about what Calhoun said. She’s basically telling people to cut ties with anyone who voted for Trump and refuse to celebrate the upcoming holidays with them.

That is dark. So since family and friends have some political differences, you must terminate these relationships even if these relationships have brought value and worth to your life.

It’s so screwed up, but then again, this is the new Democrat party. Two weeks ago, I played a sound clip of Michelle Obama who was giving a speech to thousands of supporters where she told women that their husbands are bitter and angry, and she instructed them to vote for Harris and not to tell their spouses. Essentially, attempting to tell women that they need to be suspicious of them.

Listen, if you’re in a marriage where someone has to dictate the way you vote, and you have to hide your own opinions, maybe its time for you to get out of that marriage. And this must be a Democrat phenomenon because the men I know actually value their wife’s input. They don’t look down on their spouses. They respect them.

But one of the best things about this election is that it was a thorough rejection of identity politics. It was a thorough rejection of DEI. I will explain it when we get back from this quick break so hang tight, and we’ll be right back.

Voters Overwhelmingly Reject Identity Politics and DEI

Welcome back to The P.A.S. Report Podcast. So one of the biggest things to come out of this election was the thorough rejection of identity politics and DEI. Hopefully, we are beginning to see the death of DEI – the proper death it deserves. This is a toxic ideology. A virus that seeks to lump everyone into groups and categories. To label and blame each group based on perceived grievances and victimhood.

It’s not about bringing us together. It’s about driving us apart along artificial lines. The end result is nothing but misery and failure as they indoctrinate people to be suspicious of their fellow Americans. It’s a tribal way of thinking, and there has never been a successful tribal society around. Hard work and merit are replaced with mediocrity.

Personal responsibility and self-reliance – two important characteristics of the American identity – are replaced with a hierarchy of oppression. People aren’t judged by their actions or achievements. Instead, it’s a bunch of superficial nonsense.

Over the last few years, this ideology has infiltrated every aspect of our society all based on conformity and stifling individual liberty.

And here’s the reality: Americans are tired of being pitted against each other over things that should be irrelevant. This election shows that people want to move past this nonsense. They’re tired of being told that skin color, gender, or who they are supposed to identify as matters more than what they actually accomplish or who they are as individuals. Americans are standing up and saying, “Enough is enough.”

DEI was sold to us as some great societal equalizer. They claimed it would make our workplaces fairer, our schools more inclusive, and our culture more tolerant. But in practice, it has done the exact opposite. It has fostered resentment, divided colleagues and classmates, and labeled people based on arbitrary characteristics instead of their character. And Americans see right through it.

The election results speak volumes: people want real unity, not this phony, divisive branding under DEI. They’re rejecting the idea that we should see ourselves as perpetual victims or oppressors. They’re tired of being told that America is inherently broken, racist, or oppressive.

The truth is that people love this country, and they know that despite its flaws, it offers freedom and opportunity like nowhere else on Earth. DEI, however, denies that foundational truth by framing America as a place in need of constant moral correction by bureaucrats and activists.

This election is a mandate to get rid of DEI policies that serve no purpose other than to divide and control. Americans want a society where merit is rewarded, where hard work is valued, and where everyone has a fair shot regardless of background. This isn’t just about getting rid of DEI.  It’s about restoring common sense. It’s about treating people as individuals again, not as representatives of identity groups.

Now, as Republicans take the reins, they must dismantle this failed experiment. They must root out DEI’s grip on government, education, and corporate policies. The voters have spoken, and the message is clear – get back to basics, get back to treating people equally, and stop forcing divisive ideologies onto every part of American life.

DEI had its run, but Americans have put it on notice. It’s time for our leaders to take this message seriously and return to policies that actually unite us, based on shared values and real opportunities for everyone.

The death of DEI isn’t just necessary, it’s long overdue. Look at the shifts in voting patterns. Communities that were once considered strongholds for identity politics are now embracing candidates who promote unity, individual merit, and America first regardless of the color of one’s skin. This isn’t about left or right. It’s about rejecting an ideology that seeks to pit us against each other.

Now that Republicans are in charge, it’s time that they go big and go bold. It’s time that seize this opportunity to lead, show that they can competently govern, and why we must keep up the pressure for real governance for all Americans – not just Republicans and not just Democrats.

Republicans Must Show the People They Can Govern

Welcome back to The P.A.S. Report Podcast. I ended the last segment about how it’s now time for the Republicans to lead. That they have to show they are competent and can govern effectively. I am not going to break down the Trump agenda in this episode. I plan to tackle that next week, but Republicans have a golden opportunity to show what leadership looks like.

We can no longer accept the weak-kneed Republican leadership we’ve become accustomed to in the House and the Senate. America has real challenges. Inflation, an out-of-control national debt, a failed education system, a broken border, and whole bunch of other problems.

But when it comes to Republicans, the one thing we have witnessed over the last few decades is that they will talk a good game when it comes to limited government and fiscal responsibility, often when they get into office, these issues go by the wayside and they act and vote more like Democrats than Republicans.

The Senate Majority Leader is a critically important position. Now that McConnell is stepping down, we can get some real leadership in. But the feckless Republicans like McConnell, love the status quo, and so we already see some parlor games being played.

McConnell wants the vote for the next Republican leaders to be by secret ballot because he does not want Trump or conservatives to influence the process and elect Senator Rick Scott as the next Majority Leader.

The Republican establishment wants it to be either John Thune – who is a good man, but would represent nothing more than McConnell’s brand of politics – or John Cornyn of Texas, who shouldn’t be anywhere near the majority position. Senate Republicans must stand firm and vote for Senator Scott. He is one of the few with the cojones to enact the legislative agenda America needs.

Republicans have been handed a mandate by the American people, and it’s time to act on it. This isn’t a moment for half-measures or timid moves. Americans are fed up with empty promises and talk with no action, and Republicans need to prove they are different. They have the White House, the Senate, and likely the House. This is their chance to show what true leadership looks like.

For years, the GOP has had its chance to articulate a clear vision—cutting down bureaucratic bloat, securing our borders, restoring sanity to our spending, and strengthening our education system. And yet, too often, they have fallen short. With this victory, they cannot afford to squander the opportunity. We don’t want more of the same lip service. We need leaders who will tackle inflation head-on, bring down energy prices, and prioritize American jobs. The American people don’t want to hear excuses; they want results.

As Trump becomes the 47th President and the Republicans take control of the Senate and House, this is a historic opportunity for the GOP to deliver on their promises. The American people have handed them the keys, but those keys come with the expectation of real action. If Republicans fail to lead boldly and decisively, they risk losing the faith of the very people who just put them in power. The era of weak leadership must end. Republicans must rise to the occasion, and it’s up to us to keep up the pressure and hold their feet to the fire. This is the moment to govern with courage and conviction. The American people are watching, and they won’t settle for anything less.
