The Autopsy of the Democrat Disaster of 2026
Kurt Schlichter
Typically, one performs an autopsy after the subject is dead; when you do it while they’re still alive, it’s called a vivisection, and that’s what we’re going to do today with the Democrats’ soon-to-fail 2026 midterm campaign to turn America into a more gender-confused version of Cuba. Fast-forward to Thanksgiving 2026; let’s look back on what’s going to happen, because you can see the outlines of the inevitable. They’re hoping for a blue wave; they’re going to look back and realize that they blew it.
The Democrats just aren’t good at electoral autopsies. They just released one about the 2024 fiasco to a great clamor of condemnation and indignation. Parts of it weren’t politically correct and were therefore rejected, while other parts, like the part that the senility of their first presidential candidate played, were ignored. An autopsy should be a rigorous and objective attempt to find out what went wrong, and it should tell some hard truths. But the Democrats have a problem because what they embrace aren’t policies. They’re not even ideologies. They are religious beliefs. They fill up the space where normal people keep their faith. Democrat ideology is a substitute for religion, so the problem is that if you dare to critique any of its tenets, you’re not just wrong. You’re a heretic. You’re a bad person for thinking that some women do not have penises, and that America is not a roiling cesspool of racist hate. So, you can’t discuss and debate it. All you can do is accept it, which means you can never change it, no matter how much it hurts your cause.
The blue-haired weirdos, race hustlers, commies, and other degenerates that make up the bulk of the Democrat party don’t want to hear the truth. They want to see you on your knees, chanting their sacred dogma without hesitation, equivocation, or dissent. That’s why Democrat autopsies can’t work. They can’t hear the hard truths because the truth is evil if it conflicts with what they want to believe. They would much prefer to embrace a politically correct wrong than an electorally useful right.
Well, let’s try it anyway.
