There’s a famous scene in the classic 1975 movie, Monty Python And The Holy Grail, in which the heroes encounter the Black Knight in the forest. After a series of mortal wounds suffered in a fight including loss of limbs, the Knight insists that he can still win if only by biting his antagonist.

This scene pops to mind when you hear the braggadocio by the outgoing President on what would have occurred in the recent election had he been allowed to run again.  The delusion displayed by this opinion is perhaps the most apt summary of the worldview prevailing during his entire term in office.  The disconnect from observable reality has been a defining characteristic of the Democratic party and more extremely so in the past generation. The reality of course is the wholesale rejection of the Democratic worldview, demonstrated not only by the loss of the Presidency and both houses of Congress in the latest vote, but also manifest by the over 1000 federal, state and municipal seats lost by Democrats during the 8 year term of the sitting President.

Seventy six year old Nancy Pelosi was re-affirmed to lead the Minority house even after the massive rejection of Democratic candidates by voters under her watch.  Her re-instatement prompted her to conclude that “the party doesn’t want a new direction”, again invoking the Black Knight.  As odious a person as they portray Donald Trump to be, the voters chose him instead of them.  What does that tell you?

Usually, the bubbles of delusion are burst when they fall upon the unyielding pins of reality. The abstract world of reality is an unfriendly place for much of the left these days, due in large part to the echo chamber in which they exist.  When the closed intellectual ecosystems of academia, media and ideological thought constantly reinforces a paradigm, it’s easy to believe that this represents reality.

This explains the abject horror and disbelief displayed when their candidate didn’t prevail in the last election.  From the non-stop wailing and moaning, you’d think that Justin Bieber announced his retirement in front of 12 year old girls.  In fact, the puerile antics of many grieving drama queens are just as juvenile in their displays of petulance.

For his part, the new President-elect Trump has signaled that he will move to dismantle many of the glass houses built over the past few generations such as the EPA and that many sacred cows, (like the U.N.) may be sacrificed.  Not only will he repudiate many of the ideological goose chases by the last President, he vows to rid the country of deep rooted rot in its institutions.  This is the mandate he was given; to push back and fight for rational policies; instead of riding unicorns battling straw men.

People may know that when junkies are deep down the road of addiction, they will do anything to get their next fix.  They will betray friends, family and even themselves just to get the next hit of drugs.  Others can see how disheveled and desperate these poor individuals have become and seek to avoid contact with them.  “Poor So and So, he used to be such a nice person”.  Now they reek of desperation and are pitiful souls.  Nothing can be done with them until they hit bottom.

This behaviour has been the operating tactic of the Democratic Party for ages and now they are desperately trying a new front.  The so called “Big Tent” party has over the years divided society up into identifiable segments and pandered to their supposed disenfranchisement from the rest of society.  It is by isolating blacks, Hispanics, gays, union members, immigrants, religious minorities, students, the elderly, the young, the poor, animal lovers and of course climate nuts,  that they hope to draw upon as their support base.  Now, when it looks as if their specious messages have faltered with their core constituency, they want to target women in general and include them in the list of oppressed people. 

This is truly ironic as the blatant misogyny of the party has been on full display,  particularly over the past few years.   When it was all but a shoe in for Hilary to take over the leadership of the Dems, they instead marginalized her and chose someone with no experience, credibility or apparent skill set.  The ongoing vulgar ad hominem attacks hurled against Sarah Palin and now even Michele Bachmann are embarrassingly contradictory to their supposed support of women.  In essence, they are saying, “we support women, except her, her and her”.

Pretty soon, the message can’t be us against them, because there will be no them.  While the Democratic slogan may be characterized as “divide and conquer”, their actions really are more of a “stoop to conquer” strategy.  It will be amusing to watch them try to pull this off as a campaign platform.  If it fails, the pool of oppressed to which they can pander to gets smaller and smaller.  They can always champion left handed people, bald people, double jointed people, those with Rosacea, as well as those who can’t break 100 on the golf course.  They haven’t hit bottom yet.
