Dems post-election meltdown: Letters to the Editor Nov. 13, 2024

The Issue: Democrats’ infighting and dismay after Donald Trump’s clear victory in last week’s election.It’s poetic justice that the elitist Democratic leaders and left-leaning media pundits are eating their own after the referendum imposed by the American people on election night (“Blue hoo!” Nov 8).It’s shocking how out-of-touch Democratic leadership is with the needs of everyday Americans, and the people responded resoundingly.Americans saw through the propaganda that the legacy media were shoving down our throats for the past four years and said, “We’ve had enough, thank you.”They tried to paint Republicans as unintelligent, narrow-minded bigots, and that narrative backfired.Our voices were heard loud and clear.

Hopefully, lessons will be learned from this shellacking.Matthew VeralliManhattanIt’s amazing how the left now blames everyone and every demographic for Harris’ loss.One only has to look at the amount of red on the election-results map to realize that people are tired and fed up with leftists’ constant rhetoric and woke agenda.Maybe it’s time they look at themselves in the mirror and admitted that their thinking is the problem.

Even long-time Democrats have abandoned the left’s thinking and “values.”Pete VardakisMorris Plains, NJThe victory of President-elect Donald Trump has caused much angst in progressive Democratic communities.His decisive, overwhelming win can be easily explained and understood.The question that must be asked is why the electorate — referred to as deplorable, garbage, fascists and Nazis — overwhelmingly voted for Trump, who was impeached, indicted and referred to as a fascist, rapist and Hitler.This excessive vitriol was far more intense than a policy debate or disagreement about a constitutional issue.The intensity of hatred for Trump was matched on Election Day by the voters’ overwhelming repudiation of the policies of the Democratic progressives.
