Scapegoats!

Yup! That is what we are, we are being blamed for the loss.
In the hunt for a scapegoat, some are arguing that there's been too much focus from Democrats on transgender rights. There's no evidence backing that up.

Democrats are still reeling from the wave of defeats on Election Day that included Kamala Harris losing to Donald Trump. In the process of casting about for an explanation, one theory is that Trump won because the Democratic Party is disconnected from the concerns of average Americans. An example of this alleged disconnect is Democrats’ relative support of transgender Americans, compared to Republicans who’ve been engaged in a coordinated attack against trans people.

“The Democrats have to stop pandering to the far left,” Rep. Tom Suozzi, a New York moderate Democrat who won re-election Tuesday, told The New York Times the next day. “I don’t want to discriminate against anybody, but I don’t think biological boys should be playing in girls’ sports. … Democrats aren’t saying that, and they should be.”
Thump… Thump… the sound of the bus running over of us.
There is no other way to put this but: No. Democrats absolutely should not be following Suozzi’s advice here. It is an instinct based on fear that should be rejected loudly and firmly from all corners of the party. From a human decency perspective, this moment, when trans people are most endangered, is not the time to throw them under the bus. It’s also wrong as political strategy in that the party would be trying to appeal to voters who would be no more inclined to lend the Democratic Party their support even if it abandons trans people.
People are trying to blame someone and we are the low hanging fruit!
 
Chris Christie lays in on us...

Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) said on Sunday he agrees with Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-N.Y.) that the far left helped propel President-elect Trump to victory, adding that the most effective Trump campaign ad was “Kamala Harris is for they/them, and Donald Trump is for us.”

“Well, he’s absolutely right,” Christie said about Torres, in a panel discussion on ABC News’s “This Week” with Jonathan Karl, “because the Democratic Party, from 2017 through 2024, went off the deep end.”

[...]

“I mean, the stuff they have been saying is just offensive to a large percentage of the American people. The DEI stuff is offensive to a large swath of the American people,” Christie, who ran an unsuccessful 2024 presidential primary bid, continued, referring to diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
This is where the soothsayers are pointing fingers once again at the minorities in an attempt to demonize and make us the scapegoats for the fact that the only thing the voters cared about was the economy.

    Nothing new here. Think of the last few years when they first started to write laws against the Transgender Community. A man at work who is a real hard core democrat told me the same thing. When the time for the great sacrifices to begin then it will be the Trans community that gets hit. You know that and I know that. Perhaps the community will be a tradeoff. The democrats anyone who would be part of destroying a country and its people is a group to watch out for. They have no morals. They are not the shinning beacon on the hill. We had in the next few months think way beyond what is offered now. Soon I am going to retire. I just am tired of beating my head up against the murderers on one side and the glitter, fluff, trinket tribe on the other. I do not retire out of fear of them but out of disgust. As I said in my last essay, this country belongs to me just like a cell belongs to a prisoner.
