Democrats haven’t got a clue.

All those reflections may be somewhat valid, unlike charges of misogyny or racism, but it is astonishing that not one Democrat has admitted that the genuine appeal of Donald Trump also helped him win. Liberals have so bought their own narrative about the president-elect, and live in such a cocoon of groupthink, that they cannot conceive that he might be the kind of guy people would like to have a beer with.
More importantly, they cannot imagine that he might not be a reflection of our country’s worst impulses and attitudes but instead embodies some of our best. What would those admirable impulses be? Honesty, common sense, patriotism, humor and authenticity.
Let’s start with honesty. Democrats accuse Trump of lying about everything, all the time. They have made a cottage industry of fact-checking his every utterance, every facial expression, every sneeze. What do they find? A tendency to exaggerate, to overstate the size of his crowds, to puff up his wins and minimize his losses. His is a great, big, beautiful world and those are the terms he deals in. His overstatements and hyperbole are often tongue-in-cheek and amusing, but only to his supporters. To Democrats, they are disqualifying.
By contrast, Democrats have been authors of some of the greatest and gravest falsehoods in our history. Pretending Joe Biden was fit to serve another four years was an outright lie spun by the White House, leading Democrats and the media. That is a consequential lie, and they are now paying for it.
