Shitty right wing blog American Greatness got all black-pilled over the weekend in a Midterms post-mortem titled “Third World Electorate – Candidate quality? How about voter quality?” exploring this new “blame the voters” line of self-pitying bullshit in the MAGA media universe.
“The picture we got from Tuesday is that of a decadent, vegetative electorate easily swayed by platitudes and sentimental appeals, fervently attached to its entitlements. Within the living memory of many Americans, abortion was widely illegal and considered a grave evil. Americans now appear to regard it as a treasured right. In Montana, voters even rejected a measure to provide life-saving care to infants born alive after a botched abortion. Republicans performed well with married men and women—the people who should be the center of our civic life, while Democrats dominated with unmarried women and the twitchy, nihilist Gen Z. Again: voter quality.”
“Where did Republican messaging stumble? The party, perhaps, could have been more affirmative about what they support. But they cannot be blamed for betting that voters would recoil at the ugliness of the alternative. Even the Democrats are surprised by their success. The choice here was pretty stark: ‘You can vote for more crime, child mutilation, and toddlers in masks, or you can vote for us, but you have to give up your abortions.’ There was a rational choice, and the people didn’t make it,” and please by all means check it out for some more delicious copium.
