Last week, we witnessed what was essentially the Democratic Party’s worst nightmare. Not only did the infamous big-bad-orange-man, Donald Trump, return to the White House — collecting a popular majority on his way to 312 electoral votes — but the Republican Party has also taken control of the Senate and, most likely, the House of Representatives.

Make no mistake: This election was as monumental a success for Trump as it was a humiliating defeat for Kamala Harris. And, as is always the case when an election implodes like a dying star, blades are immediately being sharpened in San Francisco, Los Angeles and D.C. to hunt down those to blame.

Joe Biden has already received widespread criticism — for what it’s worth, given that Biden is splitting the remaining days of his presidency between vanilla pudding cups and naps by the fire — with most being focused on his refusal to stand down earlier.

As if months, or years, more of Kamala Harris would have made a difference.

Kamala Harris will (eventually) come under fire also, given that her campaign was about as ridiculous as her nomination in the first place. The fact that she managed to spend $1 billion in three months — including millions in handouts for her celebrity rental-friends — and end up in debt tells you everything you need to know about what a Kamala Harris presidency would have looked like.

And then there’s the left’s favorite target of blame: white people. White men, white women and non-white people who have been hypnotically captivated by the clutches of white supremacy that is behind even the mildest speed bump in the radical agenda.

If you’re white and you voted for Trump, you’re to blame. If you’re not white and you voted for Trump, you’re to blame, but not as much as the white devils who whispered convincingly into your ear. And even if you’re white but didn’t vote for Trump, you’re still to blame because you failed to bring your fellow whites onto the side of righteousness.

Got it?

Of course, this argument is nothing more than the racist reflex that is the first and last resort for a Democratic Party regime that has become intoxicated by its own fumes. The notion that they could be wrong or unconvincing on the campaign trail or off-putting given the failure of the Biden/Harris administration is — in their view — unthinkable. No! Everyone else is the problem, you see.

The biggest undiagnosed issue at the heart of American leftism is arrogance: the deep-seated belief that you have to be ignorant in order to vote for a Republican. There are no rational or nuanced reasons to offer your support to someone like Trump, they posit, and all that leaves is sheer stupidity.

And how do they measure intelligence? Well, by the scale of student loan debt you’ve accrued while collecting the institutional credentials you proudly hang around your neck like a VIP pass to the Democratic Party inner circle.

However, in reality, the opposite is true. Those who are ignorant, thoughtless and bigoted are the ones who declare that anyone who disagrees with them is ignorant, thoughtless or bigoted, hiding behind credentialism and elitism when all else fails.

Despite their self-declared educational prowess, they seem incapable of understanding that some people out there are not only smarter, but smarter in ways that matter. What do I mean by that? Smarter in the context of reality.

After all, as the emperor sits on his throne stark naked, who are the fools? The “uneducated” peasants who dare point out his state of undress, or the dribbling Harvard-grad sycophants who flew in from Chicago to stare at his flesh and betray the intellectual honesty they claim to uphold by complimenting him on his sparkling new clothes?
