For decades, Democrats have treated the popular vote as the ultimate barometer of legitimacy in presidential elections. It’s their comfort zone, their “win” even when they lose.

And then came the election of 2024.

When Donald Trump not only secured the Electoral College but also crushed the popular vote in 2024, it was more than a mere political defeat—it was an existential crisis. The Left had banked on retaining the moral high ground, even in a hypothetical but inevitable Kamala Harris loss. They planned on clutching their beloved “popular vote victory” narrative. Then, Trump’s decisive win kicked their ideological stool right out from under them.

The backlash was predictable: a masterclass in Leftism 101—whine, bitch, rinse, repeat.

Election Denial, the Democrat Way

Let’s address the elephant—or donkey in this case—in the room. The same Democrats who incessantly accuse Republicans of being “election deniers” have a rich history of refusing to accept election outcomes they don’t like. Their hypocrisy was on full display in 2016 when Hillary Clinton and her supporters pushed the “Russia collusion” hoax to delegitimize Trump’s presidency. Fast forward to 2024, and they’ve simply swapped out the script but kept the act.

Among the Left’s most vocal election deniers is Michael Podhorzer, a former AFL-CIO operative and fellow at the Center for American Progress. Podhorzer absurdly claimed that Trump didn’t really win the popular vote in 2024. His rationale? A convoluted cocktail of cherry-picked data and wishful thinking. Podhorzer isn’t alone in his denialism—he joins a long list of Leftist luminaries like Rick Wilson, James Carville, and Allan Lichtman, all of whom confidently predicted a Harris victory and were proven spectacularly wrong.

And let’s not forget the “Russia, Russia, Russia” chorus from 2016, starring Clinton herself, bolstered by Stacey Abrams, who to this day insists she won the Georgia governor’s race in 2018. If denial were an Olympic sport, the Democratic Party would sweep the medals.

Trump: The People’s Choice

What truly terrifies the Left isn’t just Trump’s win—it’s his growing popularity. Despite years of relentless demonization, Trump emerged as the most popular politician in American history, leaving even his critics scratching their heads. His ability to resonate with everyday Americans, even in the face of unprecedented media and institutional attacks, is nothing short of remarkable.

Democrats tried everything to suppress his 2024 bid. They slapped him with the “felon” label, orchestrated smear campaigns, and unleashed their full propaganda machine. Yet Trump’s numbers soared. Imagine how overwhelming his victory might have been without the Left’s interference.

In states with voter ID laws, Trump’s dominance was undeniable. Harris clung to victory only in states where voter ID wasn’t required—a clear indicator of foul play. Without these dubious practices, Harris would have faced a landslide loss of epic proportions.

The Billionaire Betrayal

Adding salt to the wound, some of the wealthiest individuals in America, including Silicon Valley billionaires, have thrown their support behind Trump. The Left, once proud of its tech-savvy allies, now finds itself abandoned by many of the same figures who helped fuel their rise. This shift has left Democrats reeling, as their narrative of Trump being universally despised crumbles before their eyes.

The Left’s Desperate Clinging

In their desperation, Democrats now embrace figures like Podhorzer, who swim against the tide of reality to keep hope alive. These self-proclaimed “defenders of democracy” cling to their denial like a lifeline, even as their arguments grow increasingly absurd. But the truth is inescapable: Trump won, and he won big.

What’s next for the Left? More whining, more protests, and more finger-pointing. But as they flail in denial, the rest of the country moves forward, united behind a president who defied the odds and emerged as the undeniable choice of the American people.

Humorously, the Democrats’ desperation brings to mind an old adage: “If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.” Instead, they’ve opted for dynamite—because why just dig when you can destroy the whole foundation of your argument?

As we watch this political theater unfold, one thing is clear: the Democrats’ love affair with the popular vote has officially turned into a tragicomedy.
