The Biggest Losers On Election Night Were The Obamas

In some ways, voters chose Trump as a rejection of the Obamas’ brand of leftism.

About a week before the final day of the election, The Wall Street Journal published an editorial titled, “A Harris Victory Means the Fourth Term of Obama.” Although Kamala Harris failed her bid for the U.S. presidency spectacularly on Tuesday, the biggest losers of the 2024 election were the Obamas.

No one has had more influence on the Democrat Party in the last decade than the Obamas. The Democrat Party used to be a place working-class Americans called home. It was sympathetic to kitchen-table issues such as how soaring crime and food and gas prices affected ordinary Americans’ quality of life.

But under President Obama’s leadership, the Democrat Party has been transformed into one dominated by what I refer to as “liberal coastal elites.” These are individuals who reside in affluent coastal areas, often with leftist political views, and have embraced most radical left-wing social and economic policies.

The elites openly despise nearly half of the country that disagrees with them. They have insisted on pushing radical policies from open borders to a Green New Deal to make themselves feel morally superior while ignoring the plight of ordinary Americans who have to endure the high cost of living and soaring crime as a result. Democrat elites have also been eager to appease America’s foreign adversaries, such as Iran, out of contempt for America’s “imperial power.”

Wrong. All the big names lost, and now there's a power vacuum.

I just hope that the Obamas will keep a low profile in the future. Of course, it's too much to hope that he won't meddle behind the scenes. But it seems like some of the bloom has come off of that rose.

I doubt that is possible because attention whores gonna attention whore. I would put money on them both very vocally decrying everything Trump does as racist, extreme and dangerous to dear mother Gaia as a prelude to running Big Mike so Barry can have his fourth term. And you know darn well the establishment media will back them up on anything they say.
