The Wall Street Journal has an incredible story today. The National Archives museum, under Biden-appointed U.S. Archivist Colleen Shogan, has been working to reshape its narrative of American history in order to make white conservatives more comfortable. The Journal describes a pattern of efforts to shape its newest upcoming exhibits to better fit right-wing narratives of U.S. history. The museum has removed references to Martin Luther King Jr., Japanese internment, Native Americans, union organizers, and birth control, because presenting American history honestly would make Republicans upset.

Honestly that's horrifying, and is one of the most disturbing things about all of this. For generations people have worked to give the minority perspectives on American history more space (after it was completely ignored for generations, like the role of African-Americans in the Civil War in winning their freedom), and now we're literally going backwards so as not to offend white conservatives. The Wilmington Insurrection, the Tulsa riots, the Stonewall riots, it's all going yet again to be put on a back burner because white conservatives don't want to hear about it.

It's probably already been mentioned, and I know ballots are still being counted, but Kamala is about 17 million votes behind Biden's final total from 2020, while Trump's total is nearly unchanged.

I guess it is clear that America is not ready for a female president.

Based on the 4 year campaign of trump, I guess we will start seeing " Couch Fucker 2028" in the next week or so.

And those minorities broke for Trump. I don't have much empathy at this point.

So if this holds true, Trump didn't add any votes, but didn't lose any... and this whole "get out the vote-ground game" of Kamala's simply didn't produce. Too many people on that side of the aisle stayed home or voted 3rd party

The door knockers here in PA were annoying AF

seven different people last Saturday came to my house

A lot of people just get pissed off about it, I don’t think it has the effect the Dems think it does.

I think the " tax paid surgery for trans inmates" ad was a haymaker late in the game. Harris never walked back the sound bite. It was aimed at Black men but resounded with a lot of different demographic groups.

That ad played a lot, despite the fact US prisons provided gender affirming care to trans inmates during Trump’s first term.

Canvassing is highly effective when combined with a strong candidate. Didn't have that this time.

It was a huge misplay, that I think the campaign thought we were still in an honest and truthful reality. And there are so many folks embarrassed to vote for trump publicly, but happily did so quietly.

I don't know if they did so happily. I think of it this way -- if I walked into a restaurant and someone asked me if I wanted a beet sandwich or a shit sandwich, I would choose the beet sandwich but hold my nose. (Clearly I don't like beets.) The issue is that dems see Trump as the shit sandwich and pubs see a dem candidate (possibly ANY dem candidate) as such. Unfortunately the pubs may find out that what they got was not what they thought they ordered.

The ZZL conservatives who haven't shown their face here since this board started will be here in force. They didn't have the balls to be here the past few months but they found some courage today.

Don't give the courtesy of a reply.

Oh I am in a big Ignore button mood today

Hedge, I tend to like you and your posts. If there’s one thing we can say for sure right now about this election, it’s that the leftists didn’t get Trump elected.

I’ve listened to y’all for the past few months and didn’t trust my gut feeling. After so many people jumped down my throat last week when I was talking about Harris’ strategy, I took a break from the board because I thought I was wrong.

I’m not saying every analysis I make is right, but I think part of the issue is being dismissive of anything that runs counter to what you may already think.

I think I made a couple posts of concern that were jumped on. One about two weeks ago was that I couldn't figure out how the race was in question with the fundamentals favoring Democrats. That I thought there had to be an issue with voter's perception of Dems.
The other post was concern about the trans ad that was being run against us and that there was no pushback.

It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen...
