Expect liberals to continue trying to delegitimize
Trump’s victory, despite repeated failure. The only thing that changes
in liberals’ long-term effort is their motivation: It now switches from
election strategy to survival’s necessity. Simply: If liberals cannot
effectively undermine Trump’s presidency, they risk losing far more than
November’s election.
The over-reported prospect of an Electoral College rebellion against
Trump came and went. It became another opportunity to add insult to
liberals’ injury; Clinton’s electoral vote defeat margin swelled, as she
wound up suffering more “faithless electors” than Trump did. However,
while this was the most focal of their efforts, it was far from the only
one.The post-election press has reverberated with liberals’ wishful thinking that by delegitimizing Trump, they can define away their own failures.
The Washington Post has served as a prime vintner of the left’s sour grapes. On December 7, it published a piece by Clinton’s former communications director that raised the racist charge once more: “I don’t know whether the Trump campaign needed to give a platform to white supremacists to win. But the campaign clearly did, and it had the effect of empowering the white-nationalist movement.”
