They will blame Hamas and Hexbear and Putler (again) and Cornel West and Sanders (still somehow) and Jill Stein (always) and the millennials and the deplorables (meaning the working class, even though it’s the petite bourgeoisie who are really Trump’s base).
They’ll do anything but look in the mirror. It’s really sad, because when the Republicans lost in 2008, I remember that the their political class did a lot of soul searching, which the Democrats seem to be incapable of.
Libs can't do that. The dems and their leadership don't care about being in power, so they won't analyze their defeats. But libs can't do that at all. Libs whole conception of themselves and politics is that they are the good people, and they vote blue, and doing so affirms that they are good and absolves all of their guilt for being a comfortable PMC in an cruel empire. That is the benefit they get from viting blue.
Since they are the good people, if they fail, its because all of the ungrateful, dumb people who's vites they feel entitled to messed it up. Because their party or platform ir whatever can't be wrong in their minds, because they are definitionally "good"
they didnt really though, honestly. I remember they came up with some stuff that they immediately threw away, that doesnt count.
I don’t recall what they publicly came up with, but I suspect that privately they decided to redouble their antidemocratic/extralegal efforts, knowing that winning fair & square was only going to keep getting harder. So gerrymandering, voter ID requirements, undermining polling stations, judicial appointments, etc.
